To think toothpaste shouldn’t taste of semen?

This one definitely does. And it’s got a picture of a hand grasping a big hammer handle on the tube. It’s arm and hammer sensitive pro.

I’m not sure who I should complain to but I feel
I should have been warned. What if my partner came home and I thought I was minty fresh for him and terrible misunderstanding ensued?

I’ve used that one and it really does! Blush

Also my hairdresser has started using a new bleach which smells horrendously of semen! He saw me pulling a face when he first used it on me and started giggling because he knew what I was going to say Grin

My walk to work used to take me past one of those trees that smells of semen.

Arm and Hammer toothpaste does taste of spunk!! I thought I was mad because nobody else has ever agreed with me in this.

Chouetted · 16/01/2019 22:17

It'll be the baking soda...

Klopptimist · 16/01/2019 22:17

I'd never equated it to semen before, I always thought it tasted like a cystitis remedy - either way, it'll be the bicarb. Maybe you're the woman who's partner complained had "penis breath"?

FuckingYuleLog · 16/01/2019 22:17

Wasn’t there a thread on here a while ago where a guy was questioning whether his gfs semen breath had anything to do with her promotion that day 😂
Maybe she used this toothpaste?

Horse chestnut?

X-post Klopptimist - glad I didn’t imagine it!

LittleDoritt · 16/01/2019 22:20

I always use Arm and Hammer as it tastes much nicer to me than other brands. Now I'm wondering what that says about me. Blush

GunpowderGelatine · 16/01/2019 22:23

I got put off by carbonara for years after having one in a restaurant that tasted of semen 🤢

Dobbyhasnomaster · 16/01/2019 22:25

Ha ha ha @LittleDoritt that is brilliant! I’d never made the connection before OP, but I’ve never loved that toothpaste and see what you mean. Definitely not purchasing again 😂

morningpaper · 16/01/2019 22:26

Salted caramel is semen to me...

SaucyJack · 16/01/2019 22:27
Blush

And let’s just not go there with the Scampi n Lemon Niknaks.

Am I the only one who hasn't a clue what semen tastes like?!

PissOffPeppa · 16/01/2019 22:29

As soon as I read the thread title, I knew this would be Arm & Hammer! I remember using it at my grandparents’ when I was little and being horrified by the taste. I thought it had gone off. It was only when I got older that I realised what it actually tastes like Envy

MawkishTwaddle · 16/01/2019 22:30

Clawdy

Yup Wink

RedHatsDoNotSuitMe · 16/01/2019 22:30

Now I'm worried... I use arm and hammer and I don't think it tastes of semen.

But I use the advanced white one. Maybe that's the difference.

ImNotKitten · 16/01/2019 22:32

I use this toothpaste and don’t think it tastes of that!

BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty · 16/01/2019 22:32

I refuse to use owt but Superdrugs own brand charcoal paste now.

Definitely no semen. Nope.

LynetteScavo · 16/01/2019 22:34

@Thishatisnotmine - it's not just me then...I used to live near a whole wood of semen trees...but whenever tried to tell people they looked ike this Confused and so I was Blush. I knew dementia trees were a thing!!!

Clawdy · 16/01/2019 22:34

Then I'll try that toothpaste because there's really no other way I ever want to know what it's like! (shudder!)

Nitpickpicnic · 16/01/2019 22:39

It’s the sweet chestnut trees (the one with edible nuts) that smells like come. There’s a farm of these trees at the end of our lane way. The smell only lasts as long as the blossoms (high summer), but it’s disturbingly strong!

I see visitors wrinkle their noses and try and place that smell all the time!

donttakethebiscuit · 16/01/2019 22:41

That toothpaste always tastes like semen to me too, thankfully my DH has used it so there will definitely be no misunderstandings. We also had one of them trees at our school called the Cum Tree, it was the center of many jokes over the years

How the hell have you got away with that?!

Hot chocolate from the machine at my old work had a definite spunky taste. Still drank it though.
