The grape dental floss is all gone

And it's ridiculous how sad this is making me.

I remember when I used to get that. I haven't seen it in years, but I shop almost exclusively at the kind of stores where traditional hygiene products must compete for shelf-space with those of a more hippie bent.

Is it all gone from the world, or merely from your teeth-maintenance location? It would be a great sadness if no one could anymore avoid mint-flavored things without resorting to bubblegum.

This grape was really nice stuff.
not too strong a flavour, and a
neat billowing sort of floss.

It appeared one day in a clean-up,
no evidence anywhere of its origins.
I did not purchase it,
but I removed that which
becomes trapped between teeth
with this floss -
it served its purpose
and all too soon,
was gone.

I still have some lemon-lime floss.
It isn't as nice.

They call that kind of floss "woven" here, or at least they used to. That's what I used to buy when I was in college. (I now buy the same thing in mint, as that is all my store carries it in, and rather than calling it "woven" they call it "gentle gum care" for reasons known only to Those Who Market.)

I have never seen lemon-lime floss. The concept both intrigues and repels me.
