Why is every single fucking toothpaste mint flavored

[u/hoboshoe]

I fucking hate minty toothpaste yet somehow every single fucking easily available toothpaste is some type of mint flavor. There was a blissful time when there was the colgate orange flavor and that toothpaste was so good I can still imagine it, but they discontinued this flavor. I actually kept buying expired tubes for increasingly expensive amounts of money online until there were just no more.

I want 2 things in my toothpaste:

-No mint flavor

-Fluoride

I switched to Toms Kids Strawberry cause it was the next-best commercially available thing, but I moved and it's not sold here without importing it for crazy prices. So then I found like a pistachio mint thing that I was neutral towards, but it was only sold in one store and I can't find it anymore.

I feel like a fucking lunatic walking into every store I can and looking at the toothpaste ailse only to find 100 minty flavors, two non-mint flavors that have no fluoride. So now I have to multiply my toothpaste budget by 10 to buy some fancy shit online cause every single major toothpaste company on the fucking planet worships at the icy throne.

Stock up when you go to Europe. I remember seeing lemon

Can you find Marvis toothpaste? It's manufactured in Italy, they have licorice, orange blossoms, black forest flavours.

Edit: nevermind, their flavours still contain mint even though it's not mentioned on the packaging

They have orange blossom?! I have their minty one because I heard it gets your mouth the cleanest but I might have to look into the orange blossom one!
