Colgate MaxFresh with Mini Breath Strips, Cool Mint Review

I was in the Dollar Tree looking for holiday gift bags and other stuff that I could get dirt cheap.  I decided to go down the health and beauty aisle just to look.  I wasn't really needing anything nor was I searching for anything specifically.  Then I saw it!  A box of Colgate toothpaste.  It was a whitening paste.  It was a new product and it was at the Dollar Tree, whoa!  I had to have it even though I wasn't in need of toothpaste.  I picked up the Colgate MaxFresh with Mini Breath Strips.  On the box you could see a strip of the gel and you could see what appeared to be little beads.  That would be the Mini Breath Strips.  The box said, "Enjoy a whole new dimension of freshness."  Well, I was all for that!

I usually brush 2-3 times a day.  So that night when it was time to go to bed I was ready to brush my teeth and remembered I had that new toothpaste.  Now remember I didn't need any toothpaste so I was going to do something very unusual for me.  Open up a second tube before finishing off the first.  When you open it you see a bright royal blue color and it smells like a bottle of mouthwash.  As I gently squeezed the tube I could see the mini breath strips coming out.  Brushing your teeth is a wonderful experience.  I kept breathing and blowing air just to get a whiff of this stuff.  I got the cool mint flavor and it did send a chilling sensation down my spine.  It's like having a toothpaste and mouthwash or breath mint all in one.  I know that isn't a new concept because Colgate did it with Scope mouthwash and that almost killed me.  These breath strips aren't as intense as the Scope was.

INDICATIONS:

The bottom line was this: Colgate MaxFresh with Mini Breath Strips does a wonderful job of freshening your breath but I can't really tell if it does much to whiten them.  My best friend says that is probably because my teeth haven't begun to turn yellow and are still a sparkly white so I won't see the difference.  I know I only paid a dollar for a 3 oz. tube but I would pay the full price for a regular sized tube at the store any day.
