Bad Breath

My aunt asked me:

How do you get rid of coffee breath if you have no gum, mint or toothpaste?

Now, rather than just answer that question, I'm going to answer the best ways to get rid of bad breath, in general, because these tricks also could possibly work for coffee breath.

I'm going to tell you eight ways that you can get rid of bad breath:

1. Keep your mouth moist
   *Drink water
2. Ask for a dish that either has or comes with ginger, basil, mint leaves, or parsley.
   *Chew on any of these for instant refreshment
3. Eat an apple
   *Freshen and remove any pieces of stuck food in your teeth
4. Use salt, if you can take it without raising suspicious glances
   *Gargle it
   *More effective if combined with baking soda
5. Have a glass of whiskey! (21+)
   *Kill the germs on teeth causing smells
   *Don't overdo it; breath worsens the more alcohol consumed
6. Sneak a spoon into the bathroom:
   1.Stick out your tongue and check for a pasty white goo on it
   2.Turn the spoon upside down and use it to scrape your tongue, using a back to front motion
      *Try to relax or you will gag
   3. Rinse your mouth and the spoon and sneak it back to the table
       *Make sure you rinse the gunk off!
7. If you can't sneak a spoon:
   1. Go to the restroom
   2. Wash your hands
   3. Use your fingernails to scrape your tongue
   4. Wash hands again
8. Rinse your mouth with water, and use dry paper towel or the inside of your shirt to rub each of your teeth. Then rinse your mouth again.
   *Be sure that the towel and/or your shirt are clean, otherwise it might make your breath worse

Hope this helps!
