Nutrition & Diet Do you spit or swallow it?

"It opens with a rich, creamy cocoa flavor that provides an indulgent and decadent experience." We're not talking here about a Whitman's sampler. We're talking toothpaste.

It's how Crest describes its new, chocolate-flavored toothpaste, Mint Chocolate Trek ($4.99), which will hit stores the first week of February.

I can't get the link to work, but chocolate flavored toothpaste does not sound appealing. At all.

Gross.

dirty title aside, swallowing toothpaste is actually quite dangerous

Too much fluoride! Spit don't swallow.

Even acknowledging that swallowing toothpaste isn't healthy... I think I'd actually like the taste of it. But it would probably do a number on my head: this is sweet and chocolatey-tasting... I'd better rinse my mouth out and brush my teeth after this so I don't get cavities!!!!.... oh...... wait.....


I remember one time, at my dental checkup, the dental hygienist cleaned my teeth with a bubble-gum-flavored tooth polish... they were out of their other flavors. THAT was strange.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS MINT?? Argh. I hate mint.

You can already buy novelty flavoured toothpastes, like cupcake and bacon. They all sound disgusting to me - I think psychologically I would need mint to make my teeth feel clean, even though I hate the taste. Bubblegum toothpaste sounds like the worst flavour ever.

I don't think the flavor would be good. x_o; It's a great idea in theory, but I think the result would be disgusting.

Tom's toothpaste comes in fennel and orange mango. I'm happy with those.

I like mint. Feels fresh and lasts awhile. I'm gonna stick with eating chocolate when I want chocolate flavor in my face.

It took me awhile to come around to the fennel, but now I find myself missing it whenever we are apart. I have yet to try orange mango, but groovy grape wasn't so groovy.
