Gritty with a Terrible Taste

This toothpaste was awful. It has the worst taste in the world and it is so gritty in texture, it does not taste or feel pleasant at all. I am supposed to feel like i have a fresh mouth and I just feel like I have a mouthful of grit that still needs to be cleaned. I didn't notice any difference in the whiteness of my teeth and this toothpaste was so expensive. Never again, sticking to Crest from here on in.
