Colgate Kids strawberry toothpaste: a reasonably strawberry-ish shade of red, tastes like Vaguely Fruity Artificial Flavouring. (If you’ve ever had Hawaiian Punch, it’s kind of like that.)
Colgate Kids watermelon toothpaste: fucking turquoise, tastes unnervingly like watermelon. (Brain: “This has no juice, but it tastes like watermelon. Does not compute.”)
A bit of a shame they can’t get both things right at once, but hey, both of them are actually tolerable to use, unlike other mainstream toothpastes. A few years ago, somebody finally decided to fill the market niche for “people who can’t stand Painfully Cold Mint or Sickeningly Sweet Bubblegum, but want fluoridated toothpaste”. I had to make do with organic, non-fluoridated toothpaste for my entire childhood, sometimes mail-ordering it or switching between brands because the local grocery and department stores could never decide whether they were going to carry the stuff or not. It’s nice to finally have reliable, fluoridated toothpaste.
