{

      "url": "https://crest.com/en-us/oral-care-products/toothpaste/crest-clean-breath-spearmint"
    }

[
  {
    "productUrl": "https://crest.com/en-us/oral-care-products/toothpaste/crest-clean-breath-spearmint",
    "productId": "Crest_CleanBreath_Spearmint_Toothpaste",
    "productName": "Crest Toothpaste Clean Breath Spearmint",
    "reviewId": "298216004",
    "title": "Fresh, Clean Feeling That Lasts",
    "text": "I\u2019ve been really impressed with Crest Clean Breath Peppermint toothpaste. It leaves my mouth feeling incredibly clean and refreshed, with a cool peppermint flavor that isn\u2019t overpowering. My breath stays fresh for hours, even in the morning, and it doesn\u2019t have that harsh burn some \u201cbreath\u201d toothpastes do. I also like that it focuses on neutralizing bad breath rather than just masking it. Great everyday toothpaste if you want a long-lasting fresh feeling and a clean mouth.",
