For those who love minty flavors, trying out a flavored toothpaste with a spicy kick like cinnamon seems like a very daring thing to do. But for the ultra adventurous, there's wasabi toothpaste, which is made to taste and make your mouth burn just like green horseradish.
The packaging for the product even looks like a tube of wasabi, and Village Vanguard notes that the toothpaste could make a great prank, even though it was actually developed to be used as a real toothpaste. As far as the taste of this toothpaste, Village Vanguard describes that "As soon as you put it in your mouth, the smell and familiar burning sensation you get from eating wasabi spreads throughout."
