Questions you want answered.

There are a ton of YouTubers and podcasters hocking the Raycon earbuds recently. I am always wary and suspicious of any and all advertising, and Raycon seems to be hitting the marketing budget hard.

Does anyone here have a pair? What do you think?

I don't have a pair but I looked them up on RTINGS after I noticed how much they were being marketed. Whether they are good depends on what you are looking for from your audio. I personally hate anything that over emphasizes and muddies up the bass so I doubt I would like these. To each their own tho.

What is the best and worst flavor of toothpaste you have had?

Pizza.

Thanks for the reference - I hadn't heard of rtings.com before. Not really surprised that they don't impress all that much.

We’re just counting actual toothpaste, right? Not that time I accidentally put a topical cream on my toothbrush?

It’d be bacon flavored toothpaste, in that case.

pretty much anything with the words "bubble gum" on it. Best are any of the minty ones with crunchy stuff in them.

I had liquorice one once. It was actually awesome.

I want that.

Tom's of Maine used to make a liquorice flavor toothpaste, back in the 70's, but now the closest they do is a fennel one with propolis (y tho?) and myrrh (which should have some anti-bacterial action, anyway). Their regular formula base does contain glycyrrhyzin, which is the main flavor element of liquorice and I think they use it as a sweetener.

Colgate bought Tom's back in 2006 if you want to know why things changed.

Well, I remember their old toothpastes used to separate all the time. Yuck. And my mom only bought the spearmint, which everyone knows is inferior to peppermint.

the magic healing power of BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

also it's a waxy substance that probably acts as a good gel stabilizer.

Thinking on it, I think that was their fennel toothpaste way back when, not liquorice. Not that the difference is extreme lol.

Oh God, I accidentally used that Toms of Maine toothpaste that's made of myrhh and spite.

Tasted like rinsing my mouth out with a puddle.

That myrrh should definitely provide a sort of buzzing undertaste...

Mmmm, lithium-y!

I don't like the flavor of any toothpaste I've ever had, but I hate the gel kind the most. It's just something I endure each day because I want clean teeth.

Is it the mint, or the fluoride?

I used to love cinnamon toothpaste and mouthwash,m but i guess cinnamon got too expensive to manufacture, or just unpopular and i stopped being able to find it.

I'm the opposite, I dislike the paste kind and only buy gel (Colgate Total).

I hate the taste (and feeling) of mint, so almost all toothpaste is out. And the non-mint toothpastes all taste weird and chemical-y to me. The one and only toothpaste I've ever actually liked is Aim. The mint strength in both Aim flavors is at an absolute minimum, so much as to not be bad at all. You can even enjoy a breakfast glass of OJ and not have a problem. Bonus: it's one of the cheapest toothpastes you can get!

D4mo, Amazon has Crest Complete Cinnamon Rush, which apparently has no mint. Also Tom's of Maine has a line of children's flavor with strawberry, "fruit", and orange-mango flavors, all on Amazon. These are fluoride toothpastes; I assume you want that, and are not worried about homeopathic side effects... lol

Just my two cents: mint forever! That includes toothpaste, ice cream, chocolate, gum, and pretty much anything else that could be mint-flavored.

Yeah, I didn't know until about 10 years ago that there were people who didn't like mint. I'm still flabbergasted.

I enjoy this one and the Herbal Mint Expressions one. Well enjoy is a bit strong of a word to use. Maybe don't hate them as much as most flavors.

Target has Toms too. We get the strawberry for our 4 year old.

Great minds think alike!

Thanks, maybe I'll try out that cinnamon one. The fruity ones don't taste great to me either, more like the chemicals than the fruit. Fluoride all the way! A requirement.

I'm definitely the only person I know that hates all things mint and peppermint. People look at me weird when I say it. It's been that way my whole life. I don't like the taste, or that "cold" feeling in my mouth, none of it. When mixed with other things the minty flavor just takes over everything. The only thing I'll take with mint is a mojito, and even then the mint has to be really low key in the mix.
