	I. FreshBurst Listerine Actives The Listerine Actives range is created by Pfizer, one of the leading drug companies in the world. The FreshBurst variety counts spearmint as an ingredient, and consequentially has the mildest and most pleasant taste of the lot. This also means it lasts less. Recommended for beginners. Can usually be found in supermarkets (i.e. Gima, Nic) and drugstores (i.e. Sensiblu).
	II. CoolMint Listerine Actives Also from Pfizer, the CoolMint variety of Listerine Actives features a somewhat stronger, rougher taste, while still keeping the general mild Listerine line. Recommended for beginners who are ready to take the next step after starting with FreshBurst. Also found in supermarkets (i.e. Gima), but not as widely available as FreshBurst.
	III. Additiva Folia Mint This variety is made in Japan, but comes from Germany. Germans are usually known for tough, long-lasting products, and the Folia Mint makes no exception. Its medical-strength taste is the strongest of the lot. Recommended only for mint rubbing professionals. Start with a lower dose of half a strip. Usually found in drugstores (i.e. the one in Bucharest Mall); can be bought over the counter, without a prescription.
	IV. Sweet Breath Spearmint Breath Strips The lowest quality product of the lot. With an almost sickening and very sweet taste, and a pretty weird aftertaste, this mint strip is made in the United States. Besides taste, the strip itself is low quality, as a bunch of strips will usually stick together and develop a funny texture. Recommended only if you're in an experimenting mood. Usually found in supermarkets (i.e. Gima).
	V. Gel-A-Mint MagikStrips - Editor's choice If you don't mind the silly name, then you've got a winner. Strong taste and lasting sensation (but not as strong Folia Mint), but still user-friendly enough for the serious and dedicated user. Made in Japan. Coolest carrying case. Highly recommended. Usually found in gas stations (i.e. OMV).
