8x 3-ounce tubes = 24 ounces for $16, but I’ve been getting 4x big tubes (7 ounces each?) at Costco for $10. The smaller tubes may be a little more convenient but it’s also more waste, not sure this is a win.
It’s a little higher than the price I’m paying now for regular old style Colgate at my local grocery store, and I would probably grab this if it wasn’t fresh mint. The regular Colgate is not as overpoweringly minty. Your preferences may vary.
$2 per tube is a good price, but they are only 3oz tubes. It’s less than that particular toothpaste usually sells for, but pretty comparable to Colgate sensitive whitening that goes for ~$4 for a 6oz tube, particularly if you get a multipack.
@mediocrebot@mexicantacos@wilstev I’ve never seen a Colgate toothpaste “go bad” within four years after its stale date, but I’ve seen the plastic tubes split opern before then. (Yeah, I made the mistake of buying way more than I could use in a reasonable period once.)
@mexicantacos Since they are the smaller 3 oz tubes, it’s probably not as much of an overbuy as you’re thinking. I wouldn’t worry; you’ll almost certainly be able to use it all before any problems can crop up.
OTOH, a friend used to swear by toothpaste as a way to conceal tiny holes in apartment walls when moving out…
I did not realize the tubes were so tiny - it’s about the same price per oz as buying it at safeway and I can get 6 oz tubes there, somewhat less wasteful.
@stolicat And not everyone likes mint, too. Oddly, while I don’t mind a little of it in toothpaste, I loathe it in combination with chocolate. Conversely, my deceased partner loved the Girl Scout Thin Mints but couldn’t stand toothpaste with mint.
@MrSqueezles Sodium lauryl sulfate is a foaming agent found in most toothpastes, and a serious mouth irritant for some people. I switched to an SLS-free brand called “Hello.” Mouth sores are gone.
@hhansma@MrSqueezles Have you found any toothpastes without sls/sorbitol or xylitol? I don’t know why all of them switched to these sugar alcohols, but it’s made brushing my teeth a gag inducing experience.
@hhansma@Jamileigh17@MrSqueezles Sugar alcohols are added to improve “mouth feel”. To quote one information source, “Most pastes use polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or glycerin for this purpose.” Any of those can be problematic for people sensitive to the substance.
@Jamileigh17@MrSqueezles Yes! I use Arm & Hammer toothpastes (AdvanceWhite right now but there is a sensitive version that works too). I can’t have sugar alcohols and my husband can’t have propylene glycol and that is the only one we’ve found so far that we can both use.
@lehigh Not a dental professional but the last toothpaste I tried that contained Stannous Fluoride made my teeth crazy sensitive. I went back to using the Sensodyne I get from Costco.
OBTW, don’t add this to margaritas. It would not only ruin the flavor but would probably ruin your day (and/or night) as well. Some of the ingredients do not play well with the digestive tract, to put it politely. (But I hope most people already knew that.)

Pretty good price for paste. I’m in.
(While enjoying a minty margarita…)
What am I doing? I’m cleaning my teeth. And I think I need to do it some more.
not really good for margaritas- a julep, maybe.
Sure, I’ll bite.
@hchavers please be gentle

@phr Anytime you can approach Costco prices without a membership you’re getting a deal.
@phr Yep, these tubes can be carried on a flight. Convenient sure, but very small
@phr Or you could get 6 8oz tubes of Aim on eBay for 5 bucks, shipped.

@mediocrebot @werehatrack @wilstev what are some alternative uses for toothpaste? I got 8 coming now and I probably can’t cancel
@mediocrebot @mexicantacos @werehatrack @wilstev mom used to put them on her pimples. Not sure I recommend. What about polish?

But regarding the mint, did you know:
And, yes, “levels of American Mint vary”.
@stolicat And not everyone likes mint, too. Oddly, while I don’t mind a little of it in toothpaste, I loathe it in combination with chocolate. Conversely, my deceased partner loved the Girl Scout Thin Mints but couldn’t stand toothpaste with mint.
Wow, I just bought a tube of this to try last week. Ironic.
@PooltoyWolf What do you think of it?
@PooltoyWolf Meh buyers surveil you to spot Meh trends.
@Kyeh I haven’t even opened it yet!
@PooltoyWolf Oh! That’s really new.

At least they’re less hamfisted about it than Alexa.
Because I couldn’t find it here and sodium lauryl sulfate gives me canker sores, Active ingredient(s): Stannous Fluoride 0.454% (0.15% w/v fluoride ion). Inactive ingredients: Sorbitol, Water, Hydrated Silica, PEG-12, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Flavor, Potassium Nitrate, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Saccharin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Blue 1, Yellow 10.
@MrSqueezles Thank you. Sorbitol makes me violently ill. I was checking all over for the ingredient list.

Any dental professionals able to compare this to the Sensodyne I pick up at Costco?

Meh, no deal. $5.80 for a 2/pack @ LexLuthor store.
@hiperlinkve $5.80 for a two-pack is $2.90 per tube, 45% more than these. Unless those are larger tubes, this is a better deal.
@werehatrack unless you have free delivery, you are paying about $2.63 per tube. vs 2.9. Still don’t see the big savings.
@hiperlinkve Unless you have Prime or are buying enough to get free delivery yadda yadda.
What about the expiration date?

Ya know, it actually could hurt. It’s not a binary selection between “helps” and “does nothing”. There’s always the third alternative.
