Tastepaste Mango Mint Toothpaste Review

-

So much of our perception of a product like toothpaste comes from its package design. In college, I minored in package design as part of my graphic design degree, so I have always enjoyed experiencing different package designs. This one delivers.

Jordans mango mint toothpaste

Jordan’s Tastepaste mango mint flavor toothpaste has a very appropriate and fun package design. It was made in Scandinavia and was purchased in Portugal by my dear friend Emily with the help of my daughter Rachel. (Thanks very much!)

"Our range of high quality award-winning products are designed to help people keep their teeth healthy for life," according to their website. I should have started using this toothpaste sooner! (My mouth is full of crowns.)

Jordan offers four toothpastes in the Tastepaste line. Besides this one, they offer Fresh Mint, Raspberry Mint and Licorice Mint. I'd love to try the licorice mint flavor. Alas, I haven't seen it at any of the retail outlets I frequent.

So, how is Mango Mint?

Great!

It's an interesting flavor combination. I wouldn't say it's tasty enough for anyone to consume the whole tube in one sitting. But it does have an invigorating, clean taste that leaves my mouth feeling very fresh.

The paste is translucent peach-colored, which leads me to believe that no artificial colorants were added. (Nice!)

It has a stick-on label for the Portuguese-speaking world. I love that - usually toothpastes that are packaged for multiple global markets have translations in 3-point type to fit everything on the back of a tube.

So if you're ever in Portugal - or Norway - pick up a tube or two!

Yunnan Baiyao Toothpaste Review

This review is an illustration of how busy I get... My friend Mike brought this lovely tube of Yunnan Baiyo over from Beijing, China in April. It's now mid-October, and I'm finally getting time to write about this toothpaste. It's a clean white paste with very straight-ahead minty flavor. The packaging is 99% in Chinese, which is one of my favorite things - it's not produced for export. Google Translate did its action on the box's interior text and let me know that it stops bleeding and heals wounds. I haven't had much bleeding of my gums, thankfully. But if I did, this might be helpful. Google search yielded this : "Yunnan Baiyao (also known as Yunnan Paiyao) is a Chinese herbal mixture consisting primarily of notoginseng that has become a popular product among veterinary clients." And I love the package's illustrations of teeth in various states of distress... Thank you, Mike! You enriched my life - and my teeth. Maybe someday I will get to visit...

Odol-med3

Translation: "extra-fresh pure". This has a very clean, almost astringent taste... think mouthwash. I like the aftertaste - it leaves my mouth feeling, as they say, extra fresh . Of course it falls into the minty category. The paste appears very similar to Aquafresh - but its taste is nothing like that! Odol-med3 is made in Germany and may not be available elsewhere. The glowing ice on the package might not be something you'd see in America; for some reason, ice and toothpaste are not a natural combination here. But I think that pairing is a good one. My friends John & Amy , who live in Germany, sent this one over. (Thank you!)

You know the brand - but not the flavor. I bought this in Nairobi, Kenya. It was made in Egypt for the African marketplace. You won't find it in North America or Europe! It says on the tube, "Limited Edition" - so my guess is that it did not survive as a long-term flavor. Another sales point is that it is labeled "Flavalicious". There is a tension - if it tastes too good, then kids will eat it! And not to worry - it did not taste too good. (But then, I'm not a kid.) There is a small hint of mint. The paste is very light brownish white. And there is a helpful diagram on back showing how good it is to brush your teeth.
