Bad Breath

[MarniJohn 167]

I cannot figure out why bad breath is such a common problem at swing clubs.   The part that baffles me the most is that we know a few men whose breath have hang time.  I mean it's so bad that I have a problem talking to them.  I like them so much but I cannot handle the smell.  

 

My question is why don't their partners tell them?  Or, like I often do, offer them a mint?  One of these couples both husband and wife are dentists!  

 

Thoughts?

Listerine makes a product that is a dissolvable film square that you place on your tongue. It comes in a very small and compact carrying case. I often take one and offer one to my swing partner. Fun and effective!

Yes!  I do the same.  Wouldn't you want your partner to tell you if you had bad breath?  It's like having a piece of food caught in your teeth.  Tell me, please!

I had to see if I was the only one wondering about this problem.  In the past few weeks I have avoided a few people because their breath was so bad.  I actually offered a listerine breath strip to the whole group.  Even this woman's husband took one, she declined.  This is shocking to me when you are in a social setting.

 

I once played with someone who's breath was so bad that I started to think it was me!  It wasn't.  Bad experience.

Listerine breath strips really are the answer. Dissolves in seconds, tastes good. Hard to believe anyone would decline one. When you take one yourself, you are just promoting nice mouth smell. It’s not like you are telling other people that they stink.

We carry mints.  We also do not socially drink at swing parties…..personal choice but also helps with the breath.
