I have waited two and a half months for this moment: Today I opened the cinnamon-clove toothpaste. I got it on May 11, but had only just bought a new tube of another flavor on May 7, so I had to wait. For two and a half months.
It tasted just as I remember… strong cinnamon taste, no artificial sweeteners to give me a bitter-metallic aftertaste. Glorious!
Between May 11 and now, I have kept looking compulsively at toothpaste isles. At a tree-hugger store, I saw a flavor of Tom’s toothpaste I hadn’t seen before: Fennel. I bought it out of curiosity. Last night I opened it and smelled it. UGH! It smelled exactly like the worst part of black licorice flavor. I didn’t throw it away yet because it fascinates me to open it and smell it and retch. Plus, it has a pretty purple label.
I’m totally on board with yucky black licorice flavor. That’s why you should never cook with tarragon. Bleh.
However…. ‘with propolis and myrrh’? I think you should call that your Baby Jesus toothpaste.
Hehehe Dear Lord Baby Jesus….
Ha Karla – that WAS the funniest part of THAT movie (I won’t mention the title, because I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve seen it!)
I’m now also embarrassed to admit that black licorice is just about the only candy I do like! I just polished off a bag from Candy Kitchens (the best store in Ocean City!) I loved Good ‘n Plenty candies when I was a kid. I still remember picking them out of my teeth. Good times…
(don’t worry Michele … I think we’ve all seen that movie)
For the record, I have not had viewing relations with that movie.
That was lame. For the record, I would like to take back my last post.
But the sons Walker and Texas Ranger were a very close second. I loved that movie. 😀 Maybe I’m surrounded by too many NASCAR fans here.
Have any of you ever eaten fresh fennel? It has the texture of celery (crunch), you eat it raw like celery, & it does have of course a hint of licorice flavor. Mmmmm….
Brad, please try brushing at least once with the fennel toothpaste … if you enjoy the aftermath of just smelling it, just think of the ecstasy you’ll have tasting it …. plus we need to know which is better, a clean feeling mouth, or a healthy feeling mouth.
Why not make a turnip-flavored toothpaste? Or maybe radishes. Then you could have the joy of radish burps without the indigestion.
