Toothpaste, Toothpaste, Toothpaste

I used to be a Crest man. Several years ago, I decided to give Tom’s a try. The first flavor I picked out was Wintermint with Fluoride. It suggested on the box that you take a week to get used to it but I liked it right away. I’ve never been adventurous enough to try one of the more exotic flavors I’ve seen some people using like Fennel or Gingermint with Propolis & Myrrh. Some of the other minty flavors and varieties I’ve tried were fine but none as good as the Wintermint with Fluoride. I actually liked the Cinnamint a lot (tastes like Big Red gum) but it seems I’ve developed an allergy to a particular form of cinnamon flavoring also used in cinnamon candy.

I keep specifying “with Fluoride” because there are other Wintermint varieties such as the Whitening Gel but the flavor is completely different. The problem with all of this is that I have developed a dependency on this one very specific variety of toothpaste. Although most stores now carry some Tom’s products, the only place I have been able to find the Wintermint with Fluoride is Whole Foods. We don’t shop at Whole Foods very often anymore since there is not one convenient to us so we have a tendency to buy several tubes at once and then not notice when we are on the last one.

Amazon to the rescue! They only sell six tubes at a time and I seem to have gotten the last they had in stock but we should be set for a few months now.
