3. I'm suppose to help with a volunteer event right after work
but I may have to run home just to get the damn toothbrush and do some serious mouthwashing

9. I Just thought of something from my beauty school days!! It's going to
sound gross, but chew on some coffee grounds and then rinse your mouth out with water and then chew the gum. I swear it works. My instructor taught us this. :hi:

14. I think I'd rather suffer with onion breath
although back in my days when I use to sell cars (lost job from first bush recession), we would put coffee grounds in the ashtrays of used cars that were previously owned by heavy smokers.

I don't think it would get rid of the smell but it helped to mask it when you were selling a car

5. Ummmm. Can you cover your mouth when you start a thread?
Your breath smells like onions.

8. French Onion soup?
I just had a small bowl from our caf, took it outside as to not stink up the office - and to spend some nice time in a steady afternoon breeze :D

13. Here are some ideas...
Use a mouth rinse of half lemon juice, half water

Eat an apple

Eat more than one sprig of parsley

Munch on roasted coffee beans

Chew a citrus peel

Chew an aniseed or dill seed

Suck on a piece of cinnamon or a whole clove


I hope something works!

15. According to Snapple Real Facts
if you chew gum for an hour, you use 20 calories. So at least you're getting a workout....

16. Good onion!
My boss used to tell me that "people can smell when other people have a lot of garlic in their diet." Onions and garlic are very good for you. Much better than gum.
