Certain flavors, when paired together, taste bad enough to send shivers down your spine. Think mayonnaise paired with jelly, hot sauce and ice cream, oysters and cake frosting—you get the point. And, while yes, those examples are considerably nausea-inducing, one of the most infamously terrible flavor combinations is the pairing of orange juice and toothpaste.
Instead of shying away from the detested flavor pairing, juice brand Tropicana is leaning right in. Recently, the brand announced its own toothpaste that, in fact, combats the repulsive flavor mixture. Created in partnership with Dynamic Blending Specialists, this one-of-a-kind toothpaste comes without sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), the ingredient that causes the bitter aftertaste after drinking orange juice.
The packaging of the miracle-working paste is orange in color, rightfully so, with a long peppermint-inspired straw looping its way across the tube. Tropicana’s logo sits right in the middle with an all-caps “Toothpaste,” just underneath. While simplistic, the packaging alludes to a brighter morning as well as sparkling teeth.
If you’re wondering how to get your hands and teeth on this toothpaste, stay focused on Tropicana’s Instagram account on November 1st, which happens to be National Brush Day, to learn how.
No longer do you have to choose between brushing your teeth before orange juice, risking a sour taste, or after gambling foul breath. Instead, the world is now your oyster, er, glass of orange juice, so drink up and brush on.
