Kiss Me Mint:  A Review

As anyone who knows me knows, I’m a sucker for something labeled “NEW!” at the grocery store.  So when I saw Colgate’s “Kiss Me Mint” in the pretty purplish bottle, and it was on sale, it jumped into our cart.  I had high expectations for Kiss Me Mint because I like their Cinnamint and Freshmint flavors.  But, I was sorely disappointed.  They should change Kiss Me Mint’s name to Robitussin Rush, because it tastes like minty cough syrup.  That might not be terrible for people who don’t mind the medicinal taste of cough syrup or mouthwash (like Leigh-Ann ), but I am not one of those people.  I hate cough syrup and the thought of using Listerine gives me the shakes.  So, Kiss Me Mint gets big bonus points for prettiness, and then loses them all with taste, which is probably not what they were hoping for with the product.

1. Yeah, a name like “Kiss Me Mint” gives you hope that it will be spectacular and exciting.  If they’d given it an accurate name, like “Mint with odd overtones of cherry”, I would have known to avoid it. Now we’re going to have to take turns using it so it won’t go to waste.

2. Thanks for the heads up; I was thinking about trying that.

3. We’re glad we could save someone else from the nastiness.  Of course, I suppose someone likes it, because it made it out of testing, but I can’t imagine who that person is.

4. Oh crap.  You’ll never guess what I bought not even one hour ago.  Two of them actually, for stockings.  I was sucked in by the purple.

   My girls are weird ducks sometimes - they just might like it.

   Off to read your hockey stuff now….

5. Oh, if you’re buying them for their nifty color & lovely name, no one will fault you for their flavor.  It’s a lovely looking toothpaste - I cannot fault them for that.

   Checked out your blog and I loved the Mood Beams.  Do you think teenaged boys (16, 17, 18) would think they were dumb?  Of course, they’d probably think they were dumb and then on alternate Tuesdays, think they were cool.  Hmm, maybe if they made one that looked like it was snowboarding or shooting bad guys in a video game…

6. Teenaged boys aren’t my forte at the moment, but I don’t see why not.  One of those critters has to be masculine looking, no?

   Apparently they rock to different music and sound stimuli….trippy stuff like that.  What’s not to love?

   Thanks for stopping by, btw
