Not all of them are half price. The Wonka Chocolate and Cotton Candy are not, at $15. The Chocolate is also milder but not free of mint.

I haven’t personally tried them (I wanted the chocolate but was too tight fisted) so can’t say how true to life the flavours are or how it feels. But for $6.50 there are options like vanilla, red velvet, mango sorbet, peach ice tea, banana, strawberry, coconut whip, watermelon, grape bubblegum etc.

If there’s someone in your life who can’t stand the burn of mint or needs extra motivation to brush perhaps one of the half price flavours might be a good gift.

One caveat though: The amount of fluoride in it seems comparable to children’s toothpastes so may be intended for kids and not be enough to protect adult teeth quite as well.

Edit: Sorry the brand is Hi Smile

Edit 2: Correction. From a really quick Google - the amount of fluoride in these is equivalent to 1100 ppm fluoride when the standard adult toothpaste is 1000 ppm fluoride, so it’s actually fine. In that case maybe don’t use it on kids under 6 due to risk of swallowing

      I would love a cinnamon toothpaste but anything I find has no fluoride. I have genetically soft thin enamel so def need it.

      Marvis has a liquorice mint flavour and a few other tasty sounding options. But it’s expensive luxury stuff, contains mint alongside the other flavours, can apparently be a bit abrasive to be good for your teeth and also may not contain fluoride.

    Yeah, I think the real tip when it comes to toothpaste frugality is that you should use one you don’t hate and remember that you only need a pea-sized amount.

    We’ve tried a couple of these for our kids when they’re on special. I wasn’t a fan but they seemed to like the novelty.
