I just tasted one of the top three most disgusting things ever.
Listerine Citrus Breath Strips.

I had to brush my teeth in a very feeble attempt to purify my mouth. I felt like I put some weird toxic cleaner in my mouth.

:puke:

1. My dear haruka.......
I'm sorry to hear that!

Well, that's one product that I'll never buy..........

Thanks for the heads-up.....and sorry you were so nauseated!

You'd never guess from the name that it would taste bad... :shrug:

:loveya: :hug:

3. I really like the regular ones.
Damn me and my trying new things. I mean, seriously, who knew octopus could be so tasty and yet citrus breath strips so bad?

2. I always have the original flavored ones in my pocket.
Citrus seems nasty, though.

6. Yeah, I like the original.
I had figured the citrus would have been just citrusy. Not like citrus-scented floor cleaner mixed with super-mintiness.

12. Have you tried licorice-flavored Altoids?
Those things are delicious. :D

13. I don't like licorice and altoids have gelatin.
So, I don't think I'll ever be trying them.

4. I like the ones in the blue pack and the green pack...
but the orange just seems....wrong. I can't deal with the idea of orange mouthwash, either. Or vanilla. Or....

Whatever happened to original and mint and those were the only two options?

8. Well, I use ginger toothpaste, so I'm weird but yeah...
I was apparently on crack at the supermarket checkout when I decided to buy these. I should give them to my stepbrother, just to see him make stupid faces and freak out.

10. Tamarind candy and Papaya Paste for Sporty People.
Slurpee Cola Gum is pretty bad, too. My logic behind "I like Slurpees, cola and gum, so this has got to be good" was terribly, terribly flawed.

17. We Are Agreed On Tamarind Candy, Ma'am

18. Yeah, Papaya Paste for Sporty People sounded like it was
either going to be good or bad. I mean, I love papayas. This was like eating Papaya ground with sand though. I should totally stay out of the ethnic department at the supermarket. My weakness for trying bad Mexican candy always wins out. Then the bad Mexican candy beats me.

21. The Baked Goods Are Great, Ma'am
Around here, anyway, there is often a sort of shortbread biscuit with a light glaze on top in the bakeries that is wonderful. And, of course, coconut milk soda....

22. Yeah, the baked goods are tasty.
Edited on Fri Oct-13-06 01:30 AM by haruka3_2000
I used to live in an entirely Hispanic area, so there were a few bakeries around. Never tried coconut milk soda, but I'll look for it, since I like coconut milk.

And don't ma'am me. Weirds me out.

15. Never having had a urinal cake, I can only guess.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if they tasted the same.

20. Can't remember which San Francisco character used to lick toilet bowls
solely for the drug content. I think I was told it was Randy from Black Randy and the Metro Squad.

25. What are those breath strips made of, anyway?
I've tried the mint ones and they seem like Chemical City!

29. Pine Sol Certs?
My top three disgusting things would be

1. Sauerkraut
2. Poached Eggs
3. Beef Stroganoff

I literally start dry heaving at the smell of all three.
