"Gum vs. Mints, biggest battle since Red Vines vs. Twizzlers"

22 Jan

So what do you prefer as a breath freshener, chewing gum, or mints? I mean, each has it’s own advantages and disadvantages.

Mints you can put in your mouth, and not really have to chew. They conveniently just dissolve in your mouth. No need to be concerned about figuring out where to spit out a mint, as you would with gum. Gum can be fun to chew, though — almost like the act of chewing the gum is an activity in itself.

In general, I am a fan of Tic-Tacs, but they do tend to be the loudest mint. I guess “tic-tac” is Onomatopoeia. Anyway, in general I’ll accept any gum or mints offered to me, but have narrowed it down to a couple of preferences.

This is my gum preference – http://www.amazon.com/Orbit-White-Bubblemint-Count-Pieces/dp/B00250K8FU

You get the bubblegum flavor, the refreshing mint quality, and also a sugarfree tooth whitener.  Ideal.

For mints, I’ve all but made the move to Altoids, which pack a powerful refreshing punch.  In addition, the tin a nice container.

In fact, what I’ve been trying to do is mix the gum with the mints in one single Altoids tin.  This way when someone wants a breath freshener, I can give them options!
