Is this toothpaste sweet tasting? I have just recently been completely grossed out by the fact that every toothpaste I find taste sweet like candy..

It's a mild sweetness that is just enough to prevent the product from being bitter or unpalatable.

I got candy flavoring from Amazon too. It Works great and tastes great, but you have to experiment with it to find out how you like it. Start with a few drops and add to taste.

I have never thought about using this as tooth paste. I have noticed when I use a wet cloth to wipe up any spills of Xanthan gum, the cloth gets a slimy, slippery feeling to it. This texture would bother me so I probably won't try this one for toothpaste. I use natural toothpaste made with essential oils so I am not getting the harmful toxins from commercial pastes. I would be interested in other's responses to this question.

Fructose is one of the ingredients, I think that makes it sweet. The taste is actually a bit sour, more like a citrus fruit.

No, i don't think it has a very sweet taste. If fact, 'til I read this and checked the label, I didn't even know it was flavored.

I just posted on this. There was a posting a few months back that the product was now being made in China and the taste was unpleasantly different. I do not think this was true of my batch, but I was influenced by the comments of others. Look into those early 2013 comments if you feel the need, but if you are not happy with the taste nothing anyone says will make a difference. I would suggest you look around for something else but stay in the Stevia family.

No, it's not sweet. It really doesn't have much taste to it at all, but it is not an unpleasant. It is somewhat bland, but does not leave an after-taste in your mouth. Excellent product!

There is no added sugar in this product. The sugars are naturally occurring in the product. Many foods have natural occurring sugar. This product does not have a sweet taste. Does yours taste sweet? My purchase has slightly different nutrition facts. I think it's because off the specific harvest. If you would like more information I would contact the company. They are very, very nice.

I don't think they have been. They're not very sweet. They are, however, quite sticky and have tiny seeds in them which stick to your gums and and teeth. Hope this helps!

Aloha Ronald, It doesn't taste like licorice at all too me. I like to eat fennel and tastes nothing like that. I haven't eaten candy licorice for a long time. The product has an unusual taste to me. Like nothing I can compare it too!!! A hui hou.

Hard to explain the taste. They taste just like the ones from the 60's and 70's. I would say that maybe they taste like hardened frosting? They are pure sugar.

Beats me. The candy is fantastic! Sugar is a preservative and since the candy virtually 100% sugar my guess is it's good forever. I wish I old get it for 10¢ a bag!

Certainly not cookies and cream. It tastes artificially extra-sweet (read: gross). It's way to hard to nail the correct consistency to make the "cream" good, and the overall flavor is, to me, rather repulsive. My friend DID recommend it to me, though, so to each his own.

Why? Simply so your dog will like the taste. Personally, I'd rather the sorbitol not be included, and I was shocked to see that it was the number one ingredient in most of the pet dental products that I've purchased, as it's mostly derived from corn syrup. And as I read more and more labels, I'm learning the sorbitol is the main ingredient in almost every pet dental product on the market, and why I going to stop purchasing commercial pet dental products that contain it. So, very good question Ralph E. Boy. And as to why vets recommend it. Well, vets don't make much money from healthy dogs with good teeth. Reminds me of the all the doctors and dentists who handed out lollipops and suckers to kids. Why? Simply so your dog will like the taste.

Haha sorry you had to go through the experience of tasting this awful product! I have long since given up on this stuff- the only thing I've ever heard someone use it in and find it tolerable was in a chocolate protein smoothie (they wanted a hint of pb flavor) and even with all that flavor/sugar covering it up/helping it the person still could barely stand it. I threw mine out, it just wasn't worth trying to save for me. =p maybe slathering Nutella or something over it would help? (But uh...that sorta cancels out the whole point of this zero-calorie spread, doesn't it? Lol)

In a hour as I am not home right now so stay tun. I will tell you this however, it is sugarless. As you know it is sweetened with stevia and by far stevia is the best sugarless sweetener I have ever tasted!
