Mint flavoring was added to toothpaste as a strategy by Pepsodent to make their toothpaste more appealing because it masked the flavor of other ingredients and the cooling sensation became associated with freshness. It became the default toothpaste flavor, but really you can flavor it any way you want.
I once got a gift set of these mini toothpastes in assorted flavors.
You should put the toothpaste somewhere the cat can't get into, like a drawer or medicine cabinet. Same with your toothbrush, and anything else in the bathroom that goes into your mouth. Airborne poop particles land on everything. You'll be doing yourself two favors in one.

Well, there’s mint flavored candy. It’s only fair.

It's a crime that yellow isn't banana flavored
Edit my take on what they should be left to right: Banana, candy corn, bubblegum, watermelon, blue raspberry, sour apple

Naw: banana, orange, strawberry (same flavor as pink starbursts), cherry, blue raspberry, green apple
I'll die on this 100% unimportant hill

This is like when you get horny for a certain type of porn and then you do the business and feel shame after.

Because your arms are broken and your stepmother walks in with Reese's toothpaste?

Can’t decide if the fact it exist or that it’s in Australasia and not America that’s surprised me the most.

That's absolutely disgusting. I brush my teeth to get rid of the shame of eating that crap.
I had to switch to cinnamon toothpaste and floss, because my cat likes mint. Fortunately he does not like cinnamon.

But then pooping on my toothbrush becomes a whole extra step?

Honestly just leave your toothbrush out, it's fine. You're microdosing eating ass 😉

Close the toilet lid before you flush.

Mint, Cinnamon, Reese's...where is the savoury? How about a KFC Gravy flavour?

OK, the people who also eat Vegemite. Not surprising either.
But it still sounds American.

*flavored. Not falv oured.

Look at the box. It's flavour. This is Australia and only the U.S. uses flavor. The rest of the English-speaking world uses flavour.
