I'm a total toothpaste-tart because of those little tubes; I'll use whatever comes along. My dentist receives them by the boxload, presumably as promotional items from the various manufacturers vying for recommendation, and dumps them in a crate at reception for free distribution.

So every six months I stock-up on a cocktail of various toothpastes and just use whatever comes out of the bag next.

The only one that was jarring was Corsodyl, and it even had a little chart on the reverse showing that people needed three months ot so to adapt to its taste. I persevered with it because it was free but wouldn't choose it voluntarily.

So, would you say the chart was correct? How do you find it now as opposed to before? Could this be the start of high culture toothpaste one's palate must be developed for?
