Let's Talk about BAD BREATH

So I was a in car travelling from Kaduna to Jos, when the driver decided to pick up an extra passenger to make extra cash. The only empty seat in the car was next to mine, and so the guy got in next to me. As soon as this guy got in, a foul smell came in with him. At first I thought the smell was from the baby with the woman in the front seat. I figured the baby might have soiled his diaper or something. The smell was that bad.

Then all of a sudden, the new passenger that sat next to me answered his phone. A larger dose of what had been smelling was let loose from his mouth. I almost died. It took over the whole vehicle. When he was done, the smell went back to the other smouldering smell that was gradually suffocating me.

That was when it hit me. The initial smoulthering smell that engulfed the car was the guy's mouth odour, escaping through his nose, since his mouth was shut. Then when he opened it, the larger dose was let loose. HIS MOUTH ODOUR WAS SMELLING THROUGH HIS NOSE. No wonder its called bad breath, be it nose or mouth. Lol. I had never experienced bad breath like that before.

How do people allow their breaths to get this much out of hand? + its totally amazing that they can't smell it themselves.

Please Nigerians, brush twice a day. I know we manage to brush once and that's it, but we need to brush twice. + I also know that flossing is not in our habit, but it is very important. And there's this wonderful thing called breath mints. If you can't find them, the regular minty chewing gum would do.

This bad breath thing is getting out of hand.
Please feel free to share your own bad breath experiences.
