I just bought a bottle of this stuff and I have some of the same yellow discoloration on the top of my teeth! I haven't noticed anything related to taste, but damn!

Huh. I use that stuff too. Not religiously, but probably several times a week. I haven't noticed any of the symptoms described, but I'll probably dump the bottle just in case.

Mouthwash is a money maker. You really don't need it. If you brush and floss you're good. Some people like it because it makes their breath fresh, but brushing and flossing does that. If the mouthwash contains alcohol you're actually drying out your saliva, which is your natural defense against cavities. They're making it now without alcohol, which is good, but you still don't need it.

I've read some good things about the ACT rinse. No alcohol, just fluoride.

Huh, that's good to know. I like it for a quick breath freshening before I run out of the house or something if I haven't recently brushed my teeth. But also my Dentist told me specifically that I should get some and use along with brushing and flossing. But that dentist I felt was untrustworthy anyway - I felt they were making up things to get money instead of what really needed to be done.
