Toothpaste Troubles & Being SAUCY

Have you seen how many choices of toothpaste there are now? and the flavors? They sound like air fresheners...These are some of the choices from Crest alone:

Citrus Clean Mint, Pure Peppermint Fresh, Mint + Green Tea Extract (eewww!), Lemon Ice, and Vanilla Mint.

And don't get me started on the tops of the toothpastes - flip-tops, pumps, BIG caps, etc...

If that weren't enough, you can actually get hard liquor and wine-flavored toothpastes coming in selections such as:

Bourbon, Whiskey, Jigger Bourbon, Wellington Whiskey, Champagne, and California Wines. If that's too much for you, you can choose Creme de Menthe, Amaretto, or Anisette.

I don't know about you, but I always thought you brushed your teeth AFTER drinking to hide the hideous smell. Of course, if you want to embrace your alcoholic tendencies, this would be a sure-fire way to "go there."

Exploring around online, I found this quote:

"Forget toothpaste. Now it’s time to put some flavor in your life with Breath Palette. You didn’t realize you needed this, but you must be getting bored with that same old minty taste in your mouth after every brushing, so now work some Indian Curry flavor around that pie hole. "

Pie hole! For the love of Pete.

Not only Indian Curry, you can select Monkey Banana, Sweet Salt, and Darjeeling Tea. Or, Pumpkin Pudding, Bitter Chocolate, Caramel, and Cola.

Look, I am open to trying new things, but some things should just be what they're supposed to be. For me, it will be a plain, old tube of REGULAR flavored Crest or Colgate. With a normal-sized top that just screws off.

My husband will continue to squeeze it at the top and I'll straighten it back out when I use it, but when we get in bed and breathe in each other's direction, we'll smell CLEAN... not like we just ate pumpkin pudding with a shot of jigger bourbon.

Oh, and finally, thanks to all have visited me via The Secret Is In The Sauce! I am currently listed as a "Saucy" blog - I am so honored!

One thing I do know...if we ever get a SITS-flavored toothpaste, I'll give it a whirl!
