I like the cinnamon stuff from the same product line. The Orange flavored stuff was, well, different to say the least.

I just got a tube of Colgate's Herbal Freshness or whatever, mostly because it was a buck cheaper than everything else on the shelf.

I've kind of adapted to it now, a couple of brushings into the tube, but it was rough going at the outset. Anybody else get an uncontrollable urge to retch when they first start brushing sometimes?

I think it's a vague attempt to compete with the Tom's of Maine market (anything with Herbal on it has got to be better for you, right?) but contains all the nice chemicals to actually whiten your teeth and freshen your breath for a brief period of time. We would probably be just as well off if we went back to chewing on a twig and using the frayed ends to scrape the gunk off our teeth.

I did do the Tom's of Maine thing for a while, Cinnamint was pretty good, but I prefer to have my mouth feeling artificially fresher longer, and for less $$.
