When I saw these first advertised, I thought to myself, "Hey, that's great!", but trying them was a different story. You simply rip open the package, place on your finger and then continue to brush away anything that might be there with the textured side, which is supposed to clean your teeth in between brushing. This product is pure crap. It just feels awkward running against your teeth, and if done a certain way I get chills. You barely even notice that there is a mint taste to it too. It's so faint I didn't even know it was there until I read the packaging. Also, these are not approved by the Canadian Dental Association. Could it be because they suck hardcore? Don't even bother trying these if someone is giving them away for free on the streets! I also hate the commercials with a fiery passion.
