@ Bridget

Thanks for the comments Bridget, and please feel free to comment at any time.

I believe the reason that the order of the events matters is because the OJ does not really stick around in your mouth, whereas the toothpaste gets stuck down between your teeth for a while due to its “paste-like” nature. Additionally it could have to do with the ratio, maybe you can only use a little toothpaste to a lot of OJ to have this effect.

This response comes way late in relation to when this was posted, but I have been thinking about this recently. Why is it that you get the bad taste only by brushing your teeth than drinking oj and never when you drink oj than brush your teeth? You can have the oj flavor aftertaste in your mouth when you brush your teeth but you do not get the same reaction. I wonder why.

Don’t drink orange juice? Brush after drinking the juice? Try “Viadent” toothpaste, which is a whole other breed of taste and texture?

some plausible solutions…
