Not only are Wisps incredibly convenient to carry around, they're also pleasant to use. The brush is gentle, but helps to make your teeth feel cleaner. The pick won't hurt when you use it, but it will get bits of food dislodged from between your teeth. And the breath-freshening beads have a pleasant taste. Spearmint is a less intense mint than Peppermint is, but both taste good, while Icy Bubble is a minty bubble gum flavor (not sugary like a kid's bubble gum-flavored product, though). Each flavor leaves a lasting freshness in your mouth for about the next 30-60 minutes. Colgate Wisps are not only good for you, but they're also eco-friendly--they've partnered with TerraCycle <http://www.terracycle.com> to recycle used Wisps and turn them into cool products like garden stones.
