Who decided the only ‘adult’ toothpaste flavor is mint?

Mint is disgusting to me, always has been. It’s one of my sensory quirks- but seriously, do most adults even like mint? Why isn’t there more flavor variety in toothpaste like there is for kids?

At least the toothpaste thing doesn’t happen at restaurants like fermented-dirt iceberg lettuce taste, or the dreaded thick slimy surprise mayonnaise. I don’t have to explain the mint issue to anyone I don’t live with, mint is avoidable in almost all situations… except tooth brushing. WHY?

Buying what I want instead? Shame, shame for the non-mint apostate! The manufacturer needs me to be absolutely certain that my Orange Dreamsicle Toothpaste is for CHILDREN. Child. Neotenous human. Grown ups go get some mint. Mint mint mint. Mint for people who have car and tax payments and boring jobs. Life doesn’t suck enough, companies must induce mandatory, universal unpleasantness to your daily routine.

Now that I’ve brushed my teeth with child toothpaste for weak sensitive babies here are 10,000 Google results about how autism is also for children :/

Edit: To clarify I still buy the alternate flavored toothpaste for kids, I’m just being salty about it. The brand I like had a price hike. When I went looking for alternates, I had trouble finding non-mint flavors with fluoride in them. All the ones I was finding on my own were marketed to kids, which isn’t actually the end of the world. I was writing with an extra slice of ham to add amusement factor to my crankiness. I really do hate how sensory sensitivity is viewed as an infantile trait by the majority of society though.

Thanks to everyone giving recs. I am loving all the suggestions I’m getting on types, and I’m gonna go look for some of these.
