Forget toothpaste. Now it's time to put some flavor in your life with Breath Palette. At $161 for a kit of all 31 flavors, who could resist? Looks like an all-natural idea for packaging toothpaste and then selling it for hundreds of times more than was spent to manufacture it. 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.
When you face brushing your teeth with flavors such as a Monkey Banana, Sweet Salt, and Darjeeling Tea, you may want to just skip the brushing and have a snack instead. Some of the flavors on the 31-item list sounded rather appealing, though, such as Vanilla, California Orange, Cinnamon and Caramel. But we editors of Gizmodo will just stick with the toothpaste we have, brushing once a month whether we need to or not.

Mmmmmmm, caramel fresh breath. For those who suffer with mouth ulcers a lot (ie. people with syphilis) I've heard that using none mint flavoured pastes can be a real life saver.
I use a Ginger toothpaste and it is delicious. I even manage to brush my teeth somedays...
@RedSeven: It's not non-mint flavored toothpaste that keeps you from getting canker sores, it's toothpaste that doesn't have Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate in it that stops them. SLS is basically detergent; it's what makes toothpaste foamy when you brush. It's one of the main ingredients in Tide laundry detergent, so imagine how irritating it is in your mouth!
As Clare points out, SLS is used in laundry detergent to remove oils from clothes and is also in shampoos to remove oil from your non-dreadlocked hair... As long as you don't swallow your toothpaste, it's a good thing to have to de-grease your mouth too. If you don't frequent KFC or McD's, then go ahead and buy some non-SLS, non-Fluoride Breath Palette.
