Mint dental floss: why? I brush with mint toothpaste like 95% of the world so it's not like it's a special flavor treat. Flossing doesn't taste bad (unless gums are bleeding, in which case no flavoring is going to cover it up anyway).

immortals flock to seattle shows. sometimes the entire 2nd row will be tall, leather clad motherfuckers.

I guess I never thought about mint floss. But then again, I always floss right before brushing with mint paste, so there's never been a horrible flavor clash. I assume they flavor it because 95% of the world associates mint with oral hygiene and they wouldn't feel appropriately fresh and clean without some lurking minty flavor as a reminder of their good flossing behavior. You, on the other hand, have long been a flossing pro, so I suggest plain floss. (Something tells me cinnamon floss would clash with most of your sticky meal flavors as well.)

The only thing shittier than mint floss: cinnamon toothpicks. Really? What the fuck. I was at a party then I was little where everyone had to bring some food, and one kid brought a plate of said toothpicks. I was utterly baffled.
