GOODBYE JASON PRODUCTS
Everyone has their favorite product or food that they never want to change. I first bought this toothpaste in the summer of 2011 and it appears in the last 3-5 months range, that this toothpaste has changed formula for the worst in my opinion. Always be weary if you see a new package design of an old favorite, as is the case with this Jason Nutrismile toothpaste, which use to be one my all time favorites. The old formula (with orange on box) was similar to the color and consistency of apricot scrub and very concentrated. This new formula is a paste, with the KEY quality ingredients missing (ESTER-C) or greatly reduced in quantity. With the old formula you could feel the Ester vitamin C when it hit your gums, and it foamed up nicely with excellent cleaning results. What really chaps my hide is that JASON advertised on the new style box " NEW LOOK SAME GREAT FORMULA" so I guess they assume their regular customers are idiots and won't notice the difference. Multiple products by JASON have altered their ingredients, changing the packaging design with the wink,wink, " NEW LOOK SAME GREAT FORMULA" line. It appears to me to be a cost cutting mission. Adios JASON, as I will not buy their products again. 5 STARS RATING FOR THE OLD FORMULA 1 STAR FOR THIS NEW WATERED DOWN FORMULA. The proof is in the pudding. Notice the elimination or reduction of quality ingredients (Ester-C) with every formula update below.
