Well, there’s mint flavored candy. It’s only fair.

This is like when you get horny for a certain type of porn and then you do the business and feel shame after.

[-] ileftredditforthis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Can’t decide if the fact it exist or that it’s in Australasia and not America that’s surprised me the most.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

That's absolutely disgusting. I brush my teeth to get rid of the shame of eating that crap.

I had to switch to cinnamon toothpaste and floss, because my cat likes mint. Fortunately he does not like cinnamon.

You should put the toothpaste somewhere the cat can't get into, like a drawer or medicine cabinet. Same with your toothbrush, and anything else in the bathroom that goes into your mouth. Airborne poop particles land on everything. You'll be doing yourself two favors in one.

Close the toilet lid before you flush.

What about while you were sitting/squatting?

Mint flavoring was added to toothpaste as a strategy by Pepsodent to make their toothpaste more appealing because it masked the flavor of other ingredients and the cooling sensation became associated with freshness. It became the default toothpaste flavor, but really you can flavor it any way you want.

I once got a gift set of these mini toothpastes in assorted flavors.

Yeah wtf? Is this just frosting?

[-] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

*flavored. Not falv oured.

[-] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Look at the box. It's flavour. This is Australia and only the U.S. uses flavor. The rest of the English-speaking world uses flavour.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

This sounds sooooo American.

[-] criscodisco@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

The collab is only available in Australia and New Zealand via Hismile’s website

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

OK, the people who also eat Vegemite. Not surprising either.

But it still sounds American.
