Can a mint please your pucker and the planet?

06.12.2007

The Bite:
Check and check. Refreshing in not one, but two, ways, eco-mints keep you kissable while forgoing nasty ingredients.
The Benefits: 
  • Minty freshness. With naturally fresh breath, you can make out like a bandit.
  • Fewer synthetic ingredients like aspartame. Many conventional breath fresheners contain sweeteners that may be linked to headaches and heart palpitations.
  • Better taste. Natural mints may even triple your pleasure.
Personally Speaking: 
Biter office policy deems that when a coworker offers you a VerMint, you take the hint.
Wanna Try: 
  • VerMints - made with organic ingredients and vegan-friendly, in 7 flavors ($18/6 tins).
  • Dr. Ken's Breath Strips - kills bad breath with green tea extract ($26/12 containers).
  • Health Assure Mint Asure - parsley seed oil combats bad breath from the inside out ($11).
  • Zellies Xylitol Mints - zingy mint made from the natural sweetener xylitol, which tastes sugary but has 40% fewer calories ($5).

Cocktail Fact

Not surprisingly, bad breath was the #1 turnoff for people polled in a recent Match.com kissing survey.

Bang For The Bite

Even eco-mints mints have a lotta packaging for such a little product, but natural sweeteners are a healthier way to prep for your next make-out session.
