    "He is also the inventor of the apparently well-known "two-phase mouthwash"."

    More reliable than the "blow in your hand" method

    is the "lick your palm and sniff it" method: the bacteria that cause bad breath are more concentrated in saliva than breath. Erm, so I'm told

    There is already an iPhone app that does this.

    You just breath into the microphone.

    I'm still waiting...

    ...for a synthetic replacement for the human mouth.

    Pirate - they are only interested in your money, not your nookie potential.

    Does my breathe stink?

    This reply prompted me to propose marriage:

    "You smoke, you drink beer and coffee, of course your breathe stinks. Lucky for you so do I"

    The anon cow who asked for cameras for eyes, google Rob Spence.
