I read somewhere recently that the reason mint became the go-to flavor for breath fresheners is because it tricks our brains into feeling coolness, even though there's no actual temperature change. Weird, right? Anyway, it got me thinking about all the breath sprays and mints I've tried over the years. Some taste pretty good, like those cinnamon ones that burn a little but in a good way, you know? But others...ugh. Like, I tried this one spray recently that tasted like mouthwash mixed with perfume. Seriously, who approved that flavor?
Also, anyone remember those little paper-thin strips that dissolve on your tongue? They were everywhere for a while, then kinda disappeared. Wonder why they fell out of favor.
Curious if anyone else has stumbled across some really bizarre flavors or has some trivia about breath fresheners. There's gotta be some interesting stories behind these things.
Those dissolving strips were kinda neat, but honestly, did anyone else find they left a weird aftertaste? Also, mint might feel cool, but does it really freshen breath better than other flavors, or is that just marketing hype?
