Green Tea Breath?
Alright, green tea, we get it. You're full of feel-good antioxidants, cancer killers and heart disease busters. But must you claim superiority at everything? As part of their "Nature's Expressions" line, Crest has developed a minty blend containing green tea extract. The earthy, nutty flavors don't seem ideal for fresh breath. And remember when tea tattoeed teeth with plaque? What gives?

WTF? The only acceptable toothpaste flavor is mint, or mayyyyyybe cinnamon if you're feeling frisky. If it ain't broke, why fix it?

A friend of mine who spent a lot of time in China stayed at our place and left his Chinese green tea flavored toothpaste in our bathroom -- so I'm guessing they're just trying to market a flavor that is popular in Asia in the US. Green tea has many positive health connotations to US consumers so it's worth a shot since they probably already had the formula sitting around.
Reportedly, Mao never brushed his teeth, instead rinsing his mouth with tea. Perhaps this practice explains the popularity of this flavor in China?
