Vanilla Mint Listerine. Is like rinsing with A&W root beer.

Seriously. I'll give them credit for truth in advertising, in that it genuinely does appear to be "less intense, just as effective," but--damn, what a strange sensation.

1. I just use plain old original Listerine

I don't go in for those pseudo-fruity flavors. It's mouthwash. That's fine with me.

Call me a traditionalist, I guess. :-)

2. Well, normally so do I. And I actually prefer the extra harsh kinds,

but I was feeling adventurous the other day and got the Vanilla Mint and then used it and...egh. It's like something from the Jetsons.

3. Well, I appreciate the attempt that they try.

To create flavors that don't taste like mouthwash. But I suspect the results would be vile. Just like you mentioned.

4. Has anyone tried the orange flavor?

Or citrus or whatever it is? Is that...like gargling with orange crush?

5. Definitely not

like Orange Crush. It's more like citrus mint. Still pretty harsh to use.

6. It's worse than the original, IMO

I wonder if they make their tartar control formula in vanilla mint... hmmmm

7. Geez, thanks for the heads up!

:puke: I HATE root beer, but I love vanilla, so I probably would have tried that. :( Sorry you were the guinea pig... but I know to stay away from it now! I use Listerine FreshBurst, which is infintely better-tasting than root beer...
