Colgate: Max Fresh With Mini Breath Strips


Product Name: Max Fresh With Mini Breath Strips
Availability: Supermarkets, Grocery Stores and most likely some pharmacies
Size: 100ml
Price: 7.99 ZAR at Checkers

I have a full tube of toothpaste that I have just opened, but I've been dying to try this product since I saw the advertisement, so I opened this one too.

Initially I had some concerns - What would this toothpaste taste like? Would there be only a few breath strips in the toothpaste? Will the breath strips dissolve properly or stick to my teeth?

When putting the toothpaste on my toothbrush I realized that I didn't need to worry about few breath strips - they were clearly visible and plentiful. The toothpaste foams really nicely and the breath strips dissolve really well, I didn't even notice they were there, until I got the burst of freshness!

The toothpaste gave my mouth a really 'fresh' feeling (something I can't say for my current toothpaste) and it seemed to last a little bit longer than my regular toothpaste. I like toothpastes that taste 'minty' - I cannot stand "herbal" or "orange" flavoured toothpastes and also find the whitening variety a bit 'sandy'.

I honestly cannot complain about this toothpaste and I will definitely buy it in future. I'm considering changing my brand (once I've used up the two reserve tubes in the cupboard).

I did browse the prices of the other toothpastes while standing in the aisle and although there were certainly some cheaper toothpastes, this was the average price for this brand.

I would recommend that anyone who is interested try this unless you use specific toothpaste for medical reasons.

Value for money: 7/10

As the price for this product was fairly average for a tube of toothpaste and I liked it so much, I'm giving it a 7.

Appearance: 8/10

The ACTUAL toothpaste looks just like it does on the advertisement - and those little breath strips look pretty cool floating around in there. I wouldn't decorate my wall with it, but I think it's funky.

Packaging: 3/10

As you can see the packaging doesn't really look very different to any other toothpaste - the box is silver and shiny like many of them are - below average for creativity in that department.

Taste: 9/10

As stated in the post - I loved the taste of this toothpaste!

Over all rating: 6.75/10
