I'm just getting over a nasty bout of food poisoning.
Ok, listen carefully, I don't care how bad the taste in your mouth may be, if all you have is orange toothpaste then use anything else. Baking soda, wesson oil, cat littler, it doesn't matter, all orange toothpaste will do is make a bad thing worse.

For your own safety, the cleanliness of your sink, and the cleanliness of your shoes, heed my warning. There is nothing in that orange toothpaste tube but concentrated sadness and the shrieks of dying bats.

Don't know about orange toothpaste, but as one just getting over a bad bought of the norovirus, I feel your pain. When you don't make it to the bathroom with the first heave and just give up and stand there puking on the floor for subsequent heaves because you figure it can't get any worse and you have a mess to clean up there anyway you know (or at least hope), you've hit rock bottom.

I'd consider killing that dentist and burying his body in the okefenokee swamp, where it will feed the alligators and bears and never be seen again, except as dung.

a flaming bag of the product of your food poisoning on his doorstep should probably do the trick.

Crest.
I had the food poisoning first. The orange toothpaste was salt in the wound.

Ah.

It's been many years since my bout with food poisoning but pretty much anything would would be salt in the wound. I distinctly remember having a strong wish to just die.

For Halloween, I made up gift bags for kids participating in my bike ride... one of the bags included Glow in the dark Watermelon flavored toothpaste... I hope it didn't make that kid sick!!!!!!

BTW the only acceptable flavor for toothpaste is mint... that's it...

do they still sell orange listerine?

all I could find at costco was the whitening type and that leaves this most peculiar aftertaste.
possibly worse than your orange toothpaste.

Cinnamon is the only thing I've found that's strong enough to override the mint flavoring that they still put in, despite there being other flavors in the toothpaste. Crest used to have a supposedly lemon flavored toothpaste I liked, because it almost no flavor at all.

I would strongly support a ban on all mint flavored dental products.

I can't imagine eating food with lots of onion and garlic and then brushing my teeth with lemon toothpaste.

Citrus-flavored toothpaste is not something I ever hope to encounter. I'll stick with mint.

My dogs have chicken flavored toothpaste. I haven't tasted it, but maybe I should. They seem to think is tastes okay, but they also enjoy horse biscuits, so I don't know how much stock I should put in their taste.

Although I am tempted to try the Tom's of Maine Clove toothpaste. But since I use mint mouthwash, I am probably not going to attempt!

This!!!!! On the rare occasion where I am considerate to my bride when I have to get up inordinately early, and I brush my teeth in the kid's bathroom, I cannot believe they put the stuff that they brush their teeth with in their mouths. But they seem to like it. Kids toothpaste is nasty. I would rather use AllenG's™ CitrusPuke Surprise I think.

It's my tongue that hurts. I've tried some of the baking soda, unflavored toothpaste, and it still, occasionally hurts but the big toothpaste companies I can't even look at without my tongue burning.
