toothpaste!

[Blue Lizard]

hello all..i recently bought some toothpaste from Yali supermarket..it was a colgate one ,on the front of it was a picture of what looked like a stick with brushes on the end of it..above the picture was the word "misvak"..now iv''e looked through my language books but can''t work out what flavour it was. (toothpaste was orange and white) ..we all tried it and thought it was great..next time we will bring home loads of it...i''m sure one of you loveley people will know what misvak is? anyone else bought anything in turkey you can''t get at home from our shops?

Hi Blue Lizard

The word misvak does not apply to flavour, it is the word for a special kind of flosser/toothbick, a small wooden stick with a brush type end, that is a misvak.

I thought it was the word for toilet cleaner.

Try E45, my wife managed to mistake this for toothpaste one morning after a late night in Kalkan. She didn''t give it such a good review.

[Blue Lizard]

at least it stopped her from getting wrinkly teeth

Could it be liquorice flavoured? Is there a picture of a woody stick on the box?

[Blue Lizard]

it''s a stick with a brush like thing on the end...the paste is orange..someone said it could be cinnamon?either way i will stock up when next in Kalkan as it was lovely!!

[Chucky]

It''''s liquorice, the picture is of a liquorice twig. We used to chew on them when we were kids.

thanks Joan!! have you tried it?as i said in my original post i got it in the Yali supermarket.

  OMG........Haven''t thought about liquorice wood for years...now I want some.!!!! 

[Chucky]

I had forgotten about it too, until I saw the picture on the packet.
It started off ok, but then it became yucky. I never met anyone who could chew a whole stick.
Does anyone remember "Tics", the tiny liquorice tablets that came in a small tin?

[Blue Lizard]

i wouldn''t go around telling people you used to have tics..they might run away from you!! 

[kalkanchris]

Yes i remember tics, they came in a very small box, they were very small black little sweets that tasted quite hot, i loved them.

[Chris18648]

In my part of the world they were called IMPS.(And you can still buy them in our local pharmacy !!!).
