i was recently grocery shopping with my brother (who also dislikes mint). he said that he needed toothpaste and i realize i would shortly need more. i reminded him that the one brand of toothpaste that has fruit flavors still tastes minty. we decided on a tom's of maine tube. we got "silly strawberry." their other non-mint flavors are "outrageous orange" and "fennel." yes, fennel.
i seem to recall trying a tom's of maine of toothpaste and finding the taste horrible. however, i think i will give this silly strawberry a try.
the website addresses the flavor issue:
Take the Five Day Flavor Test!
Tom's of Maine toothpaste may taste different than other brands you may be used to. Instead of flavoring our toothpaste with saccharin (a substance 400 times sweeter than sugar) we use natural flavor oils. The taste may take some getting used to, but if you try Tom's for five days and then switch back to a conventional brand, we'll wager that you'll choose to stick with the clean, natural flavor of Tom's.
we'll see. and i will make sure to keep you posted.
