candy toothpaste

Some while after Leah introduced it to our household, I have grown used to the subtle flavors of the alternative toothpaste we use around here. I think it has baking soda in it or something. We recently ran out, however, and had to move to a backup tube of more traditional Crest and/or Colgate brand paste, and was it ever surprising. Like a mint explosion in my mouth! I can see why they have to work to make sure kids don't just squeeze the stuff down their throats or, I don't know, eat it on crackers or something.
