Bye-Bye Bad Breath, Hello SweetBreath

October 28, 2008 By Stephanie

Having stinky breath is worse than having something in your teeth. Here’s why. If you have a little something stuck in your teeth, there’s a good chance that someone will tell you. If, however, your breath smells like garlic or onions or last night’s menu, very few people will mention it. So, it’s important to take breath freshening matters into your own hands…

Bye-Bye Bad Breath, Hello SweetBreath 1SweetBreath, a division of Health-Tech, is a leading manufacturer of breath fresheners. It’s very likely that you have walked by SweetBreath mists, sprays, or mouth washes because they are sold at Walgreens, CVS, Albertsons, FredMeyer, and a variety of national drug stores.

Do these look familiar?

SweetBreath Breath Drops

Bye-Bye Bad Breath, Hello SweetBreath 2

SweetBreath Breath Sprays

Bye-Bye Bad Breath, Hello SweetBreath 3

SweetBreath Micro Mists

Bye-Bye Bad Breath, Hello SweetBreath 4

SweetBreath Mouth Rinse

Bye-Bye Bad Breath, Hello SweetBreath 5

The sprays, drops, and mists are available in 3 flavors: Peppermint, Spearmint, Citrus Ice. The mouth rinse is available in Smooth Mint. My favorite are the micro mists because they attach to your keychain (no need to worry about forgetting it!). 

Of course, brushing and/or flossing your teeth is the best way to keep bad breath at bay. But if you are on-the-go or you just ate lunch, a swig of mouthwash or a quick spray on your tongue is better than nothing.

NOTE: Like most fresheners, you’ll have to be weary of leaking bottles and you’ll need something stronger for long-lasting freshness (the mouth rinse, for example).

YOUR TURN: Do you tell your friends if they have something stuck in their teeth? What about if their breath needs a little freshening?

WIN IT! One winner will receive a SweetBreath Sample Pack* (retail value: $100). To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Wednesday, November 5 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

** Pack will include 1 Advanced Mouth Rinse, 12 Cards Triple-Pack Peppermint Micro Mist, 12 Cards Twin-Pack Peppermint Spray and a 48 PC Peppermint Breath Drops Bulk Display. (This pack should pretty much cover you for a lifetime!)

*UPDATE* The winner is #186 Sylvia Porter. Congratulations!

    I would think these will become a first date must

    I always tell people if they have stuff stuck in their teeth. Now, if their breath stinks, they’re going to have to figure that out for themselves!

  3. Lily Kwan says

    November 6, 2008 at 12:45 am

    I’m not sure I would say anything to my friends if they have something stuck in their teeth or if their breath needs a little freshening.

  4. Suanne Giddings says

    November 5, 2008 at 9:58 pm

    I do tell my friends if they have something in their teeth. If their breath is a problem, I usually offer a breath mint and pop one in my mouth, too. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

  5. Eileen says

    November 5, 2008 at 9:07 pm

    Yes unfortunatley I do, to my husband. It’s not a very easy thing to do.

  6. Tammy Greer says

    November 5, 2008 at 8:41 pm

    I definitely tell them about the food stuck in their teeth but not so much about the bad breath. Some of my friends eat garlic frequently and it really stinks. I just keep my comments to myself and try to make a quick exit.

  7. Veronica Garrett says

    November 5, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    If they had something lodged in their teeth I would tell them. If their breath needed freshing I would offer them a breath mint.

  8. Cindy Phillips says

    November 5, 2008 at 8:10 pm

    I do tell someone if they have something in their teeth but I don’t tell if they have bad breath. I’m afraid I’ll hurt their feelings.

  9. Sylvia Porter says

    November 5, 2008 at 8:04 pm

    i’ll tell them, i usually just take out some gum if they have bad breath, it’s the worse when they turn it down :(

  10. Aimee C says

    November 5, 2008 at 8:03 pm

    I would definitely tell my friends, if you can’t tell them that you can’t tell them anything. Besides, I’d want to know myself!

  11. Connie says

    November 5, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    I always want to be told so of course I will tell if a friend had something in their teeth, discretely of course. Don’t think I would say anything about bad breath, but would offer a mint while popping one myself.

  12. sarah woods says

    November 5, 2008 at 6:19 pm

    Love the varieties; perfect for everyone’s palatal delight

  13. Catherine KingChuparkoff says

    November 5, 2008 at 6:01 pm

    I always appreciate it when someone lets me know, so I therefore always tell others when they have something in their teeth too.I always carry mints with me and would definately offer one in a friendly way to help someone else ward off their halitosis.

  14. Michelle H. says

    November 5, 2008 at 5:40 pm

    I would tell my friends if they had something in their teeth, and I would offer them a mint if I thought they needed one.

  15. LeAnn Knott says

    November 5, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    Something stuck in the teeth I will politely point it out. The bad breath is best handled with an offer of your mints, if they don’t casually tell them without offending. Thanks for a terrific chance to win!

  16. diana hogle says

    November 5, 2008 at 4:21 pm

    I always tell someone if they have something stuck in their teeth. I fine bad breathe repulsive

  17. Frances Watson says

    November 5, 2008 at 4:17 pm

    Something stuck in their teeth? Yes, I’ll tell them. Bad breath, no

  18. Sarah S says

    November 5, 2008 at 4:03 pm

    Definitely yes! I would tell someone if they had bad breath because I would want someone to do it for me. It is like looking out for that person because I wouldn’t want anyone being rude to them or embarrassing them. For that reason I always carry gum or mints to share with others. You approach the person in a friendly manner and almost always that person is appreciative of what you’ve done. Friends, co-workers, family, etc. I speak up!

  19. joanna smith says

    November 5, 2008 at 2:25 pm

    I absolutely would and have told my friends, family members, co-workers that they have something stuck in their teeth. Usually I say it with a little gesture towards my own teeth and a little giggle after telling them. About telling someone they have bad breath, it depends on who it is. If it is a close friend, or family member, I may say something like, ooh, Buffalo breath, want a mint, and again, giggle a little aftwards. Hopefully they get the hint. If it is a friend, but I know they are sensitive, I may pull out my own mints or gum and have one and then offer them one, and hopefully they will accept. I have in the past offered someone a mint because they had stinky breath and they declined, I didn’t push the issue further because I felt they wouldn’t take the message very well. I would want to know on both issues though and hopefully all my friends and family know I would take the message very well! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter this very refreshing giveaway!

  20. Jennifer says

    November 5, 2008 at 2:09 pm

    I would tell my friends if they have something in their teeth, but I don’t usually say anything about bad breath. Thanks for the giveaway!

  21. Melissa B. says

    November 5, 2008 at 1:57 pm

    No, I don’t say anything to my friends. But, my kids, oh yeah!

  22. Michelle L. says

    November 5, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    Yup, gotta follow suit with many people on here and say that I would tell a friend if there was something stuck in her teeth. However, I would not mention the bad breath. If I did have some gum or a mint and I was going to have one myself, I would offer one to my friend.

  23. Catharine R says

    November 5, 2008 at 12:45 pm

    Like alot of other people here, I would let a friend know if there was something stuck in a tooth. As for bad breath, I would offer gum or a mint (and chew one myself).

  24. Talitha Lee says

    November 5, 2008 at 12:29 pm

    I point out things in teeth but don’t say anything about bad breath. I usually just pop a breath mint into mine and offer them one too!

  25. Renee Turner says

    November 5, 2008 at 12:23 pm

    I am 100% honest because I would want someone to be upfront and honest with me.

  26. Susan Ledet says

    November 5, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    Yes, I would tell my friend if they had something stuck between their teeth and I hope that they would also tell me.
    Luckily, I haven’t noticed bad breath on a friend but I think that I would let them know in a very polite way if they did. I know that I would want to know.
    Thanks for the sweet smelling giveaway.

  27. Shannon C says

    November 5, 2008 at 11:57 am

    I always tell people if theres something in their teeth or if they have bad breath. If I’m feeling nice I ask them if they would like some gum or a breathmint…I have two kids and a husband though so I’m not shy anymore…time is too short to worry about what the other person thinks. Besides, if I had bad breath or anything in my teeth, I would want someone to tell me!

  28. Laura G says

    November 5, 2008 at 11:11 am

    I point out food in the teeth. For bad breath, I offer mints or gum rather than say someone’s breath is bad

  29. Janet says

    November 5, 2008 at 11:09 am

    Thanks for the giveway!:) I’d only tell them about the teeth and not the breath!

  30. Terri L says

    November 5, 2008 at 11:06 am

    I do point out the food in the teeth. My friends and I actually do tooth checks with each other after any meal that we eat together. As for bad breath, I would not point it out.

  31. Lindsay V says

    November 5, 2008 at 10:41 am

    I make it a point to tell people if they have something in their teeth, but I make sure to do it quietly. I hate it when people don’t tell me!

    As for bad breath…that’s a little tougher, but I offer them mints or gum and take some myself so they don’t think I’m offering because their breath stinks (even though I am…!).

  32. Roseann K. says

    November 5, 2008 at 10:29 am

    I’d only tell them about the teeth and not the breath! At least I’m honest!

  33. Kayce C says

    November 5, 2008 at 10:25 am

    Yes to both, but it definitely depends on the friend and the situation.

  34. Becky Grayson says

    November 5, 2008 at 9:42 am

    I tell close friends and family if they have something stuck in their teeth. If someone has bad breath I try to offer them a breath mint after taking one for myself.

    Thanks so much!

  35. kathy pease says

    November 5, 2008 at 9:40 am

    no i dont think id tell them..well maybe id say something about something stuck in the teeth but not the bad breath :(

  36. Kirby McCauley says

    November 5, 2008 at 9:13 am

    I always tell people when they have stuff stuck in their teeth because I would want someone to tell me. As for breath issues. I don’t want to make anyone feel self-conscious but I also don’t want them walking around with icky breath. So what I do is pop some gum or a mint myself then offer some to them. That way the offer itself doesn’t give the motivation away. I’m just sharing :)

  37. jjean says

    November 5, 2008 at 9:06 am

    Nice! I do tell people–mostly friends 7& family–if they have something in their teeth. As for telling them about their breath, we’d have to be really close for me to say anything. DH & I have a rule that if there is a breath issue, we should offer each other a piece of gum. Thank you!

  38. Nanette Olson says

    November 5, 2008 at 7:59 am

    I would tell my friends if they had something in their teeth, but I think they would be offended if I told them they had bad breath.

  39. Jennifer says

    November 5, 2008 at 7:40 am

    I’d tell them about something in their teeth. Not bad breath though. Can’t even tell DH that or he’ll get his feelings hurt!

  40. Jennifer G says

    November 5, 2008 at 4:40 am

    I tell people because I would want them to do the same for me.

  41. jennifer gersch says

    November 5, 2008 at 3:43 am

    I think I wold only tell my sister or husband if they had bad breath

  42. Ann says

    November 5, 2008 at 12:07 am

    Oh heck yeah I would tell my friends if they had a food monster in their teeth, what kind of friend would I be if I just let them walk around with that thing hanging out in their mouth. I know I would want my friend to tell me.
    As for bad breath, yep again I would announce, quietly of course but if their breath is making me turn green I would be the first in line to hand them a new toothbrush and a new tube of toothpaste, hmmmm Christmas is just around the corner…gift idea? LOL, nah. I wouldn’t go that far but I think good friends are hard to find and if you have them you should be able to trust them to be honest and upfront with you about everything.
    Thank you for the chance to win this nice prize.
    Good Luck everyone entering.

  43. Jay French says

    November 4, 2008 at 11:34 pm

    Share, and hope for reciprocal treatment.

  44. C Duran says

    November 4, 2008 at 9:41 pm

    I tell them about the teeth, but the breath only if it is a really close friend. I usually would just take a mint myself and offer them one.

  45. Dale Louderback says

    November 4, 2008 at 8:18 pm

    I would without a doubt tell them, like I hope they would tell me

  46. Andrea H says

    November 4, 2008 at 7:39 pm

    I would definitely tell a friend if she had something stuck in her teeth. I would hope my friends would tell me if I did too. My mother has bad breath at times and I will tell her when she does. I wouldn’t tell my friends if they had bad breath but would offer them gum or a mint.

  47. Angie P says

    November 4, 2008 at 7:29 pm

    I would tell a close friend that they have something stuck in their teeth. I don’t tell people that they have bad breath. I would, however, offer them some gum or a mint.

  48. Reva Skie says

    November 4, 2008 at 7:20 pm

    I would tell a close friend if they had something stuck in their teeth. I don’t have enough nerve to tell one that their breath is bad. I usually offer up some gum and chew some myself.

  49. George Casson says

    November 4, 2008 at 7:19 pm

    I’d tell them if something stuck in their teeth but not bad breath unless it was my very best friend or a friend that is very close to me

  50. Rosanne Morrison says

    November 4, 2008 at 5:56 pm

    teeth yes breasth no unless it’s my husband

  51. Maria Diehl says

    November 4, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    I would definitely, in a very subtle way, let a person know there was a problem. Sometimes people
    don’t realize that it’s not what they eat but the bad breath comes from post-nasal drip – and that comes from an ENT who let me know I had a problem. Then I’d hand them a SweetBreath and :).

  52. Lori M. says

    November 4, 2008 at 4:40 pm

    For funky breath, I’d just offer a mint or SweetDrops. I did try to gesture to my girlfriend once when we were together on a double date for dinner. She didn’t get my subtle gestures, and had a big black sesame seed from the sushi stuck between her teeth for a 1/2 hour before I drug her to the restroom. She was annoyed with me thinking I had a nervous tic or something at the table. She was quite embarrassed when she looked in the mirror.

  53. Jodi says

    November 4, 2008 at 4:39 pm

    I would tell someone if they had something stuck in between their teeth, however, it would be harder to tell someone that they have bad breath. If I know them well, I would probably offer them some gum or a mint, or if I win, some SweetBreath.

  54. Brian says

    November 4, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    I would tell me. I would expect them to tell me

  55. Jaime C. says

    November 4, 2008 at 11:46 am

    I would tell them if they had something in their teeth but not if they had bad breath.

  56. Catharine M says

    November 4, 2008 at 11:46 am

    Friend yes….stranger, maybe but probably not.

  57. Monique Rizzo says

    November 4, 2008 at 11:00 am

    Yes, we always let eachother know these types of things!

  58. Tiffanie W. says

    November 4, 2008 at 10:50 am

    Oh, yes. We would tell each other. We use the opportunity to poke fun at each other when we do though. =)

  59. Karin C. says

    November 4, 2008 at 10:49 am

    Yes, I tell people if something is in their teeth, because I would want to know too.

  60. James Nickerson says

    November 4, 2008 at 9:27 am

    Yes, I always let someone know if there is something in their teeth but not if they have bad breath. I just back up a bit and hope they get the hint!!!

  61. Joseph Bulone says

    November 4, 2008 at 9:14 am

    I would tell the person in a nice way about there bad breath without letting other people know about it.

  62. jan koontz says

    November 4, 2008 at 9:03 am

    just to cool

  63. Paula Harmon says

    November 4, 2008 at 8:04 am

    I would tell someone if they had something stuck in their teeth, but not if they had bad breath.

  64. Bonnie Day says

    November 4, 2008 at 7:18 am

    I would get my gum or mints out and ask if they want one too — nice, polite and not offensive I would probably mention that they have a little something between their teeth

  66. Erma Hurtt says

    November 4, 2008 at 6:46 am

    I would definetly tell my friends.

  67. Damon Shaw says

    THANX

  68. William LuBien says

    November 4, 2008 at 12:37 am

    Teeth, yes. Breath, no.

  69. Carrie Baird says

    November 3, 2008 at 11:32 pm

    I would probably tell them if they had something stuck in their teeth, but I wouldn’t tell them if they had bad breath. I would not want to hurt their feelings. . .

  70. Sarah P says

    November 3, 2008 at 11:17 pm

    I mention if something is stuck in a person’s teeth, since the situation has an easy remedy. However, not each person with bad breath can easily fix their problem. If I happen to have gum or a mint readily available, I may offer the other person some and have some myself; but, I offer no explanation.

  71. Cam says

    November 3, 2008 at 9:12 pm

    It depends on how much I like them. If someone is being an ass AND they have a big hunk of spinach in their teeth, well I cannot intervene in karmic retribution. Breath though- I’ll offer a mint or just stand further back.

  72. R Hicks says

    November 3, 2008 at 7:43 pm

    I WOULD TELL THEM. ITS ONLY RIGHT

  73. Jennifer B. says

    November 3, 2008 at 7:33 pm

    I definitely tell a friend if there is something stuck in their teeth. As for bad breath, I would probably have a piece of gum and then offer them some.

  74. Steve Scott says

    November 3, 2008 at 7:22 pm

    Of course, I would want to know.

  75. Samantha Miller says

    November 3, 2008 at 6:50 pm

    I will tell someone if they have something stuck in their teeth, but I am a little more hesitant about telling a person they have bad breath. I just usually offer a mint and I take one as well.

  76. Brandy Holzapfel says

    November 3, 2008 at 6:46 pm

    I will ALWAYS tell when something is stuck in their teeth…it’s harder for me to say to them that they have bad breath!

  77. Rebecca Peters says

    November 3, 2008 at 6:38 pm

    I would tell my friends if they had food in their teeth or if they had bad breath…

  78. carol lewis says

    November 3, 2008 at 5:15 pm

    Sure and I would hope they would do the same for me!

  79. Lila Lyons-Werner says

    November 3, 2008 at 2:58 pm

    YES! I tell if there is something in a friends teeth, little worse than at the end of the day discovering that something had been right inbetween your two front teeth for hours. As for the bad breath, unfortunately I haven’t mustered up the nerve to do that, which really sucks, because a co-worker of mine could really use a gargle.

  80. Kym says

    November 3, 2008 at 1:38 pm

    My friends and family I would tell, but would not feel comfortable telling strangers.

  81. Jennfier Hedden says

    November 3, 2008 at 1:03 pm

    I would tell them

  82. jennefer sweitzer says

    November 3, 2008 at 11:09 am

    I would tell them, if they were a close best friend but not just a friend, friend.

  83. laurie k says

    November 3, 2008 at 9:56 am

    Yes…if someone has food stuck to their teeth….heck, I’ d want to know this.
    As for bad breathe…lets say, they’d have to be a really good friend.

  84. Brooke says

    November 3, 2008 at 9:23 am

    How perfect for those mornings when you just can’t brush your teeth. They don’t happen often, but when I’m hurrying to get my kid off to school, it’d be nice to have something in my bag just in case.

  85. Kari Follett says

    November 3, 2008 at 3:09 am

    Well since i wear braces, I hope people tell ME! I probably would not, unless they were my friends/family. Im just quiet that way ;)

  86. Lizzy says

    November 2, 2008 at 11:23 pm

    It depends on how close the friend is! My close friends I’d tell (or drop hints)…. if I don’t know the person as well, I wouldn’t.

  87. Caryn B says

    November 2, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    I’d like to think my closest friends would tell me. If nothing else I know my husband would! : ) Kudos to you for sharing.

  88. crystal says

    November 2, 2008 at 9:21 pm

    If i look at my friend a second time and its still there, i would definitly tell them:)

  89. Joely Campbell says

    November 2, 2008 at 9:03 pm

    I usually tell people, especially a girl I work with – she has something leftover from lunch quite often. I don’t think I could ever come out and tell someone that they have bad breath. Except for my husband and kids – I do tell them :)

  90. Sandy Y says

    November 2, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    I always tell people. Wouldn’t you want them to tell you?

  91. Dree says

    November 2, 2008 at 5:10 pm

    I would tell them and hope they would tell me.

  92. Sandi Smith says

    November 2, 2008 at 3:21 pm

    I do this by individual cases. My preference is to tell them if I think they would appreciate the tip.

  93. Terra Heck says

    November 2, 2008 at 11:29 am

    If they’re my friends, I’ll politely tell them about debris and/or bad breath. I’d expect the same in return.

  94. Christie says

    November 1, 2008 at 11:14 pm

    Debris in the teeth, yes. Bad breath,no. I wonder why one feels OK to say and the other, uncomfortable? I don’t know.

  95. sito says

    November 1, 2008 at 10:16 pm

    I would tell them if they had something in their teeth. Whether I’d tell them if they had bad breath or not depends on how close a friend they are.

  96. alison says

    November 1, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    I’d always notify my friends of faux paus! Thanks!

  97. Jill L says

    November 1, 2008 at 11:34 am

    I’d tell my friends if they had something stuck in their teeth, but not if they had bad breath.

  98. Laurie says

    October 31, 2008 at 11:07 pm

    Yes, I would tell my friends if they had something in their teeth. Not sure if I would tell someone if their breath smelled.

  99. Clifton Wade says

    October 31, 2008 at 4:02 pm

    Yes – I would tell everyone I know. Thank you for this great contest and prize!

  100. Shaymaa says

    October 31, 2008 at 2:47 pm

    Close friends – yes definately.

  101. tim brown says

    October 31, 2008 at 1:11 pm

    yes, tell them

  103. charline stanley says

    October 31, 2008 at 8:42 am

    yes, I would tell them because I would hope they woul do the same for me.

  104. K. Cleaver says

    October 31, 2008 at 8:15 am

    Yes, I’ll tell someone if they have something stuck in their teeth.

  105. James Jenkins says

    October 31, 2008 at 4:39 am

    yes, tell them

  106. diane says

    October 31, 2008 at 4:25 am

    I would tell — and hope they do the same.

  107. Michelle says

    October 30, 2008 at 11:47 pm

    I’d tell them they had something in their teeth but not the bad breath part, I just back up a whole lot.

  108. Teresa L says

    October 30, 2008 at 10:14 pm

    I dont think that I could tell anybody either, Does that make me a bad person? LOL Great prize!! Please enter me!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

  109. Jennifer Short says

    October 30, 2008 at 8:36 pm

    Stuff in their teeth, yeah, I’ll tell ’em. Bad breath? That’s why I keep gum in my purse, I take a stick and offer one to others. You should NEVER refuse a Tic Tac or a piece of gum if someone offers you one. It might be a hint.

  110. Vicki B. says

    October 30, 2008 at 7:36 pm

    Of course I tell people when they have something stuck in their teeth. “So, I see you had spinach for lunch again, huh?”. The only one I’ll tell if they have bad breath is hubby after he drinks coffee. (blah!)

  111. Vicky Boackle says

    October 30, 2008 at 6:12 pm

    stuff in their teeth yes,bad breath no.

  112. dianne says

    October 30, 2008 at 5:10 pm

    Yes, and I’d hope they’d tell me.

  113. Terri D says

    October 30, 2008 at 4:04 pm

    Sure, I’d tell them. I’d want them to tell me.

  114. veronica sandberg says

    October 30, 2008 at 3:30 pm

    It is difficult enough if I know the person, but totally not at all to a stranger.

  115. Linda Lansford says

    October 30, 2008 at 12:49 pm

    no and no They willl figure it out. That’s assuming it is not an everyday thing

  116. Susan Smith says

    October 30, 2008 at 12:36 pm

    Yes, I would tell my friend if they have something in their teeth but I would not tell them they have bad breath.

  117. Shaunda says

    October 30, 2008 at 12:34 pm

    I will tell a friend that they have something in their teeth, but I only tell my husband and children about their breath. I feel obligated to tell them because I wouldn’t want anyone to look at them differently. However, if you ask me then I will be honest. I would do my best to be nice and come off nonjudgemental. I figure if you ask me then you must trust me.

  118. Allison says

    October 30, 2008 at 11:52 am

    I’d love to try this!

    I always tell my friends if they have something in their teeth. Nothing is worse than coming home from a night out, or even just a trip to the grocery store, to find that you had something big and nasty stuck in your teeth! I have never said “your breath smells” to a friend, but I do offer gum/mints if I have them on hand.

  119. Katherine D. says

    October 30, 2008 at 11:33 am

    It’s easy to tell anyone they have stuff in their teeth, and yes, I do that. Bad breath is harder, but if it’s a friend, I will offer a mint (and if they turn it down, do what one did to me once: just say – “no, you need it!” with a laugh). ;-)

  120. Ken Robinson says

    October 30, 2008 at 10:59 am

    I would be hesitant to point out spinach in the teeth, but I would offer them a sugarless bubble gum. Please accept my entry. Thank you.

  121. CATHI RUSHING says

    October 30, 2008 at 10:04 am

    i would tell them, i would want to told

  122. Angela J says

    October 30, 2008 at 9:30 am

    Yes, I would tell someone if something was amiss and have.

  123. Michele says

    October 30, 2008 at 9:16 am

    Stuck in the teeth – or lipstick on them – I will tell almost anyone. Breath – only my husband!

  124. Jean H says

    October 30, 2008 at 8:38 am

    Why wouldn’t you tell them? In the most gentle and private way available. It’s respectful. Thanks for this chance to win.

  125. Karen H says

    October 30, 2008 at 8:34 am

    I would definitely tell a friend about something stuck in their teeth, however, instead of telling them about their breath, I would offer a stick of gum or a mint.

    Thanks for offering a great giveaway.

  126. angela kohler says

    October 30, 2008 at 8:29 am

    I would tell them if they had something stuck in their teeth – if I knew them. If they have bad breath, I’d offer them a mint, if I had one. Or if they’re home and can do something about it, I’d tell them.

  127. Denyse says

    October 30, 2008 at 8:02 am

    My friends and family- YES!

  128. Judy G. says

    October 30, 2008 at 7:08 am

    I would tell my friend if she had something stuck in her teeth. I don’t think I would say anything if she had bad breath if it wasn’t due to something she ate.
    Thank you

  129. Vergie says

    October 30, 2008 at 5:59 am

    tell all

  130. david basile says

    October 30, 2008 at 5:41 am

    I would tell someone they had something in their teeth I have commented to a couple of people with garlic breath

  131. Trish says

    October 30, 2008 at 5:14 am

    Oh I would never tell someone their breath smells, although on the other hand if they had something stuck in their teeth I probably would tell them depending on how good of a friend they are. I would offer a mint or gum to a smelly breathed person and hope they get the hint.

  132. cathiem says

    October 30, 2008 at 5:06 am

    I usually keep my mouth shut!!

  133. Kathy Scott says

    October 30, 2008 at 4:36 am

    I would want someone to tell me, so I always tell people friend or foe.

  134. Sierra Martin says

    October 30, 2008 at 1:17 am

    I always tell my friends when they have something in their teeth.. and would expect the same in return! Same with bad breath, I always carry sugar-free gum on me (enough to share.) It’s good to keep away the cavities, and it’s good for your breath win-win.

    When I was in high school, I went on a date with a guy I REALLY REALLY liked… but all throughout the movie I kept smelling something awful.. like someone with horrible gas.. and I was really paranoid he would think it was me (there was a kid sitting in front of me, so naturally I thought it was him.) After the movie I said “oh, man.. that kid in front of us was really stinking up the place” and he had no idea what I was talking about. It wasn’t until he drove me home, and gave me a hug goodbye that I realized it was his BREATH!!! SOOO disgusting.

  135. Autumn H. says

    October 29, 2008 at 11:24 pm

    I tell my friends if they have something in their teeth — breath is different, only if they are my close friend — I don’t want to offend them!

    autumn398 (at) yahoo.com

  136. Janet F says

    October 29, 2008 at 9:29 pm

    Yes I would tell my friends if they had something stuck in their teeth.

    janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com

  137. kellie says

    October 29, 2008 at 8:29 pm

    i would tell!

  138. Barbara says

    October 29, 2008 at 7:30 pm

    I tell my friends if they have something stuck in their teeth, I’d want to know, so I figure they would to, about the bad breath thing I just offer them a mint or gum.
    I would love to try these!

  139. Colleen says

    October 29, 2008 at 7:29 pm

    I would tell about something stuck in their teeth. But bad breath? No.

  140. christopher h says

    October 29, 2008 at 7:14 pm

    if we’re friends, sure

  141. Anne says

    October 29, 2008 at 6:31 pm

    A close friend, I can tell anything, including that they have food in their teeth or bad breath.

  142. Beverley Justice says

    October 29, 2008 at 6:23 pm

    I love my friends, of course I would lovingly tell them!

  143. geekbearinggifts says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:53 pm

    Yes, I would tell a friend about something between her teeth. If I were in close quarters with someone with bad breath, I would probably use a mint myself, and offer one to others around me while I have the mints out. Thanks for the offer!

  144. Betty N says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:10 pm

    Yes, if someone I was with had something stuck in his/her teeth I would quietly tell them. On bad breath, I’d offer a breath mint right then; if it was a reocurring problem and I felt comfortable enough with that person, I would talk with them about it.

  145. Sharon Bettis says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:01 pm

    I have told people about something in their teeth but never about their breath. I guess I would have to be very close to a person in order to comment on their breath.

  146. Brittany K says

    October 29, 2008 at 4:57 pm

    I only ever tell close friends. I wouldn’t want some random stranger telling me if I had stuff stuck in my teeth, although, I guess, I wouldn’t want to walk around with stuff stuck in my teeth either, lol.

  147. Debra B says

    October 29, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    I guess it depends on the person involved but I would want someone to tell me so I have put myself in their shoes, and I’ve mentioned it and worded it very carefully, saying “there might be something on your teeth”, or ” take a look in the mirror and see if you see anything ” hopefully I will never be embarrassed with stuff on my teeth or bad breath, I always carry some type of mints with me just in case, thanks for the great giveaway

  148. ky2here says

    October 29, 2008 at 4:09 pm

    LEt me put it to you like this – if I offer you a piece of gum, take it. You stink. IF you question my motives, I”ll lie and say I was just sharing.

    You need to know.

  149. C. Clemens says

    October 29, 2008 at 3:42 pm

    i would tell my friend if she had something in her teeth, i dont think thats mean. BUt to tell her, her breath stinks.. no i wouldnt say anything i would give her gum LOL

  150. Charlotte Winters says

    October 29, 2008 at 3:18 pm

    It depends on if they are your close friends. If it was a Femenemy I might not say anything!

  151. michael woods says

    October 29, 2008 at 3:02 pm

    I think honesty in the best policy

  152. joyce mikulasko says

    October 29, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    Yes I do tell my friends if something is stuck in their teeth or if their breath need freshening. Thats where the breath drops come in handy – “look wht I just discovered, want to try?”

  153. sara says

    October 29, 2008 at 2:18 pm

    yes I tell them and they tell me.

  154. susan varney says

    October 29, 2008 at 1:20 pm

    absoultely what are friends i expect them to tell me

  155. Rebecca M. says

    October 29, 2008 at 12:54 pm

    why am i doing this?

  156. rebecca snodgrass says

    October 29, 2008 at 12:27 pm

    Yes, I would tell them. I would want someone to tell me.

  157. Lisa L. says

    October 29, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    Hey dude, when was the last time you brushed your teeth—LOL

  158. Cindy Thurman says

    October 29, 2008 at 11:54 am

    Something stuck in teeth – yes
    Bad Breath – offer them a mint :)

  159. Lauralee Hensley says

    October 29, 2008 at 11:31 am

    I whisper to them, ” Hey I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but I’d want to know, that it looks like somethings stuck to your teeth.”
    However, I never tell them they have bad breath, I’ll just get me a mint or a piece of gum and offer them one too. Then if we are sitting somewhere, I’ll just move further away like I am trying to get myself comfortable physically, so that way I don’t smell their breath so much.

  160. adrienne Gordon says

    October 29, 2008 at 11:29 am

    too much coffee=i need this

  161. MENA D says

    October 29, 2008 at 11:07 am

    I whisper it to them…now if they have something stuck to said tooth I hand them my compact!!!!

  162. MRS.MOMMYY says

    October 29, 2008 at 10:45 am

    yes a good friend would

  163. Holly says

    October 29, 2008 at 10:30 am

    I would tell someone they had something in their teeth. I would hope that people would let me know also. I usually carry gum with me and have offered it many times when someone need to “freshen up”

  164. Viv says

    October 29, 2008 at 10:03 am

    I would definitely tell about food in the teeth; I just can’t tell someone they have bad breath! I would probably offer them a stick of gum.

  165. Teresa says

    October 29, 2008 at 9:18 am

    Yes, I tell my friends if there’s something in their teeth.I also tell them if they have bad breath! :)

    :) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)

  166. Janell says

    October 29, 2008 at 9:03 am

    I will tell someone if they have something stuck in their teeth, but probably would not tell them if they had bad breath.

  167. Tracey Byram says

    October 29, 2008 at 8:50 am

    In the 33 years of knowing my BFF, the situation of food in the teeth has never occurred. As for the bad breath, well…THAT has come up. I just pop a mint into my own mouth and then offer her a mint. People rarely turn down a mint. That way I don’t have to embarrass her OR myself and we both end up with minty fresh breath.

  168. Angie says

    October 29, 2008 at 8:41 am

    I definitely tell people (friends and strangers alike) if they have something stuck in their teeth, or lipstick on their teeth, but I really only mention the breath if it’s someone I’m close to. And even then, I kind of blow it off like it’s a joke. That is one of those touchy subjects, kind of like if your deodorant isn’t working. I’d love to not have to worry about this for myself though! Thanks for the enter. :)

  169. Linda White says

    October 29, 2008 at 7:56 am

    I guess Id have to know someone really well to tell them they had stinky breath or food between their teeth! But a mint is a good hint!

  170. Kris says

    October 29, 2008 at 7:43 am

    I do tell for food in teeth, as far as bad breath i hand them a lifesaver

  171. Andrea Lawyer says

    October 29, 2008 at 7:28 am

    I SO would tell friend or foe if they had something in their teeth but as far as telling them about bad breath I may just offer some drops or a piece of gum or mint. Bad breath is so offensive and some people don’t realize it’s so bad.

  172. c gibbs says

    October 29, 2008 at 7:19 am

    I tell my friends about stuff stuck int their teeth. I haven’t really ad a run in with really bad breath though I think I would tell them. I hope they would tell me!!

    daytoncat1(at)yahoo(cot)com

  173. Maja says

    October 29, 2008 at 6:38 am

    I tell them.

  174. Karen Gonyea says

    October 29, 2008 at 6:18 am

    Of course I would tell them !! Even strangers.

  175. Jenn S. says

    October 29, 2008 at 6:11 am

    I only tell my close friends.

  176. Misty says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:55 am

    yes, I would tell them because I would hope they woul do the same for me.

  177. Carol says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:41 am

    I am always completely honest with my friends, and I expect nothing less from them, SO yes, I would tell them about things in their teeth or bad breath.

  178. David Bertolo says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:33 am

    No that would be rude

  179. leloni says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:07 am

    I would definitely tell ppl if they had stuff in their teeth, as I would want someone to tell me too…

  180. hetal g says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:03 am

    About having something stuck in their teeth, I tell but only to family members when they have not so good breath.
    herry123_us@live.com

  181. Jennifer W says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:03 am

    I would tell someone if they had something stuck in their teeth. As for telling someone that they have bad breath, probably not, maybe someone from my immediate family. However, I would take out a mint or piece of gum and offer one in hopes of them accepting a piece.

  182. Thomas Gibson says

    October 29, 2008 at 5:00 am

    Always. I tell them if they have funky breath too.

  183. Kim N says

    October 29, 2008 at 4:56 am

    I would tell people if they had something stuck in their teeth, but if they had bad breath, I would probably take out a breath mint for myself and then offer them one too.

  184. Lisa says

    October 29, 2008 at 4:42 am

    Yes, I would tell a friend if they had something stuck in their teeth, and I would expect the same in return! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  185. Marilyn Wons says

    October 29, 2008 at 3:55 am

    Even if they were not my friends, I would tell them. I would hope people would tell me, if needed!

  186. Gaye McGill says

    October 29, 2008 at 3:46 am

    If an acquaintance has something stuck in their teeth, I tell them. (Not likely that I’d tell a stranger.) Bad breath is another issue and I probably wouldn’t say anything unless I knew them really well. Of course, you can always pull out a package of breath mints and share with them. (That won’t work very well with spray or mouthwash however.)

  187. Erica says

    October 28, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    I totally tell people if they have something in their teeth. I also tuck in tags of strangers in the grocery store. Telling people they have funky breath, however, isn’t something I commonly do. It seems a bit ruder because there’s often nothing they can do about it. You can take something out of your teeth, but you can’t always quick fix the breath funk unless you have something great like these SweetBreath things. Thanks for the opportunity to win some! (As a teacher, my students would certainly appreciate if I win…)

  188. MaryBeth says

    October 28, 2008 at 5:20 pm

    I would never tell someone they had bad breath… offer them a mint, perhaps, but flat out tell them, no way! I don’t recall seeing these in stores, but I am usually shopping with four girls 3 and under so the chances of my not noticing them are great. Thanks for the chance to try it out.

  189. Sandy says

    October 28, 2008 at 3:44 pm

    I always tell people if they have something stuck in their teeth cuz I would hope that someone would be kind enough to tell me if I did. I always know when my kids sinuses are acting up when they get bad breath so we all could use some freshness every once in a while!

  190. Deborah Buckingham says

    October 28, 2008 at 2:26 pm

    Oh my, that is a lot of breath that will be freshened for sure! It always seems to make me feel more ‘put together’ if my mouth feels fresh, this stuff should do the trick.

  191. Sundi says

    October 28, 2008 at 2:20 pm

    I do tell my friends if they have something in their teeth, though I steer away from telling this to complete strangers :) The only person I would tell if I thought they had bad breath is my husband — he’s pretty understanding about these kind of things. This sounds great — I like the idea of having sweet breath for life!

  192. Janel says

    October 28, 2008 at 12:03 pm

    Something stuck in their teeth? Yes, I’ll tell them. Bad breath, no. I always keep a supply of mints in my purse, so it would be nice to give these products a try as an alternative.

  193. mj says

    October 28, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    I’ll tell people I know really well if there’s something in their teeth. Otherwise, I stay quiet. I haven’t tried any of these products, so I’m interested.

  194. Becca says

    October 28, 2008 at 11:42 am

    My Dad always had halitosis pretty bad, so I’ve been paranoid about my own breath since I was young. I love the Sweet Breath drops, and would love to try their other products.
