Currently, the only flavors I've ever seen are various mints and cinnamons, and (very recently) cherry. New flavors would make flossing more enjoyable. Dental floss manufacturers could look to B&R, TCBY, and the contributors to the HalfBakery Bread idea for flavor ideas. I'll start by suggesting chocolate-flavored dental floss. Mmm.

Not orange though, as that tastes nasty with mint.

I've been using grape for years. The same company also makes orange. Personally, I'd vote for cheesecake or banana. But, yes, there should be more flavors.

I'll bet kids would use it more if they had cool flavors--watermelon, kiwi, buttercream...

Eggplant.

Actually I ran this by my 14 year old daughter and she said, "Eeeew. Yuck!" Go figure... You still get MY vote though--banana.

You get my vote. How 'bout vanilla? Or fruit punch!

Zippyanna, cherry-flavor floss does exist. I've seen it. It's called WILD STRING, it's cyan colored, and it's presumably marketed to the young'uns.

Good call, [lewisgirl].

I came here searching to see if chicken or cilantro flavored floss was an idea yet, since this is Taco Saturday.

When you've had a great meal, but you have something stuck in your teeth, and you don't want to spoil the state of your palate, you should be able to get floss in the flavor of your meal. In my case, cilantro, from my fish taco.

Perhaps the meal supplier should offer the option of flavored floss prepared at the same time as your meal was.
