A-Mean-Ol-Acid

We know that acids can generate some pretty stunning results when mixed with the right agents.  However, the wrong combination of acids can also generate the none too pleasant result of stains and wretched breath.  None of us are immune and all of us are affected when this reaction occurs.  With the holidays upon us, gluttonous eating and drinking is inevitable.  Cranberry sauce, red wine, coffee and sufganiyah bring merriment and joy, but also deleterious acidic aftereffects.  Whether you plan on cozying up next to a Thanksgiving fire with someone, kissing someone under the mistletoe, or lighting the menorah candles next to a special someone, it is imperative that you eliminate all residue of gastronomic chemical reactions.  This holiday season give the gift of inhalation intervention.  Leave the stink to Mr. Scrooge.

For the Ladies

Maintain your Pearly Whites

A few swipes of these peppermint pads will leave your teeth AND breath stain free!  You don’t have to wipe out the fun, only the evidence of it.  The container fits into even the tiniest clutch or coat pocket, so sneaking away to the bathroom to wipe can remain a secret.
