mint flavor

Toothpaste's common taste

Mint flavor is the cool, sharp taste characteristic of mint plants like peppermint and spearmint.

The sensation comes from menthol, which triggers cold receptors on the tongue.

Mint flavor dominates toothpaste, chewing gum, and breath fresheners, making it culturally associated with cleanliness and freshness: I prefer mint flavor to bubblegum.
