The idea makes me uncomfortable and I can’t explain why

One way or another it’s gonna taste like something, might as well not just be “plastic and rubber” flavored.

Yeah why not and if it‘s only a faint flavour to cover the plastic taste i imagine its pretty enjoyable

Also, its marketed as a children’s mouth guard so it probably helps them want to wear it. Not a parent though, so I have no idea.

These mouth guards are flavored?

PFAS-flavored? 😏

As a former teacher of younger kids, that feature probably makes them 10x less likely to be forgotten/lost. (The size is “youth 10-”) Agree it’s kinda gross, but kids are wired differently.

Growing up we were on a swim team and my brother would chew on his goggle straps while waiting for a race. My parents bought us some flavored goggle straps lol. I think they were blueberry flavor…

Goggles aren’t even something designed to go in your mouth like a mouth guard, but I guess they knew kids chewed on them so why not

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
