Immediately after cleaning your teeth it seems that anything you drink ends up tainted with a nasty taste. (possible exception being mint tea)
How about simply creating a toothpaste with all the active ingredients but remove that foul minty flavour that seems to be ruining my morning cuppa.
N.B.
I tried one of the baking soda based brands but it tasted horrible.
Seems to be baked

I had some of this as part of a "complementary" in-flight wash kit on Cathay Pacific in the 80s. It gave me the boak. |
|
| |
oops, i only googled "flavourless" :) |
|
| |
I think the mint flavor (or what have you) is there to cover up something bad-tasting. |
|
| |
boak - Verb. To vomit. [Mainly N. England/Scottish use] |
|
| |
last visit to the vets my dog was diagnosed with bad teeth.
The vet gave us some tooth paste for him, Beef flavoured, he seems to like it. I wonder if it would be ok for humans aswell..... |
|
| |
coffee flavored toothpaste? I'd buy it |
|
| |
The stripes in it are green and magenta |
|
| |
hurl - Verb. To vomit. Onomatopoeic as much as very descriptive of the uncontrollable force of vomiting |
|

Such romantic banter for Feb 14th. |

Anyhoo - mint is a very strong flavour - not a taste. There are four tastes:- salt, sour, bitter and sweet. Toothpaste IS tasteless, it doesn't really have any of them : try holding your nose and putting a little bit of toothpaste in your mouth. You shouldn't really taste anything. Let go of your nose and then your flavour receptors in your nose have the mint sensation. |

<aside> I always wondered how to spell boak correclty - boke, bolk, baulk etc </aside> |
|
| |
//The Mint Sensation// is an excellent name for a band. |

I was of the impression is is spelled "bowk". |
|
| |
I think "bowk" is the English spelling. It's all about phonetics. "Boak" in Glaswegian sounds the same as "bowk" in Northern. |

If this item in New Scientist is to be believed, it's nothing to do with the flavourings. See links.
In my experience this is probably true -- I used to use Eucryl(??) "smokers" toothpowder which didn't foam and didn't ruin your tastebuds. |

Eucryl - my dentifrice of choice. ("Also available in 'Original' flavour.") |
