CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO
Janice Cooper #1189!!
Have you ever had that moment when you were out and about and ran into someone you know? They come right up to you and start chit chatting right away, leaving you NO chance in heck to grab for a piece of gum or mint? Seriously, I have had this happen before and though I do not have bad breath (okay, in the morning I do, but who doesn’t???), I DO like to have a FRESH mouth when I speak to someone… and having a quick piece of gum to pop into my mouth is really important to me!
Well, now I don’t have to be a breath offender because I now practice safe breath everywhere with Dentyne’s New Split2Fit Pack!! Yep, I received a big package of this gum and I am in love with it. I usually don’t like overly mintish gum, but this gum is not only a bit minty but I swear it has a watermelon flavoring to it! I don’t know if it is because I am pregnant and overly sensitive to tastes, but this definitely has a bit of watermelon flavoring to it and it is GOOD. Another plus? The packaging of this gum is super sleek and can seriously fit just about anywhere! So no more excuses for bad breath!!!
Some Stats That Don’t Lie…
*53% of Americans ages 18 to 34 have had an “intimate moment” cut short because they were unprepared. While granny panties or white briefs can be a mood-killer, 76% say bad breath would be a more embarrassing end to an “intimate moment” than unflattering underwear.
*Feeling good in your new pair of designer jeans? No matter what you’re wearing, 71% feel less confident meeting someone of the opposite sex if their breath isn’t fresh.
*58% have lost interest in someone they were attracted to due to bad breath (This has REALLY happened!! I was dating a guy and his breath ALWAYS did not smell right. I could NOT stand it so I ended it with him, YUCK. No thanks!). And that’s no smooching secret; charm alone can only get you so far - 48% of women 18 to 34 would end a relationship with someone with consistently bad breath.
So as you can see from above, fresh breath IS a big deal whether you want to believe it or not! I choose to believe it..
A Bit About This Gum:
Fear not – Dentyne has the fix. With the introduction of the NEW Dentyne Split2Fit Pack you no longer have to make this sacrifice. The Dentyne Split2Fit pack is an innovative, versatile and sleek package that holds 33 percent more gum than before (16 vs. 12 pieces) and can be split into two smaller, sleeker and easier-to-carry packs. Now you can carry all sixteen (16) pieces at once, or, if space is limited, you can split the pack into two smaller halves that are easier to slip in to close-fitting places like a shirt pocket, a clutch or those skinny jeans! In addition, Dentyne has launched a new flavor, Dentyne Ice Mint Frost, bringing a fresh new taste to the Dentyne lineup of intense breath freshening gums.

About Kim Delatorre
i have to have gum especially while at work after you eat lunch or in the morning where you have coffee breath
i dont have any stories but i always carry gum on me
I’m very good about always brushing my teeth after I eat, and I chew gum or suck on a mint after eating out.
I always carry dental floss, and the wisp disposable mini toothbrush in my purse.
My teen sons and I travel often by train to visit with my Dad. The ride is 16 hrs. each way. Talk about needing to freshen up. We’ve learned to carry with us disposable toothbrushes and mini bottles of mouthwash to freshen up.
I always make sure to pop some gum in my mouth prior to going in for an eyebrow wax, facial, etc. After all, the tech will be right in your face so you want to make sure to have safe breath!
i once had an employee with very bad breath, and we received complaints from out customers about him. Now THAT was an awkward employee development discussion.
I always carry mints or chew gum after eating.
I am completely addicted to mints, so my breath is usually pretty decent – but every once in a while I eat something with too many sauteed onions and it takes a few tins of altoids to kill off that aroma!
I don’t have any stories, but I always use mouthwash to keep my breath fresh.
i dont have much of a story, just carry gum and offer it to those who might not know they need it.
I never leave home without my gum. Even on trips, I pack my gum. It is also helpful when I don’t have a bottle of water nearby; helps keep my mouth from getting dry.
I always carry gum with me in case I need fresh breath in an instant.

I brush and floss my teeth daily! (In the event that doesn’t work, I have mints that I chew on.)
i always carry gum, never know when you’re gonna be close to someone
When I was 12 or 13 I was super paranoid about my breath and I used to carry a travel-sized tube of toothpaste with me to school and use it between classes.
In high school, I once had a break-up kind of fight with a guy I was dating because he kept trying to kiss me and he had onion breath. I kept leaning away and he was mad and instead of telling him why I just ran into my house.
I guess I’ll share the fact that if I eat late at night, I have reallly bad breathe the next morning. lol.
I keep mints in my desk drawer at work and gum in my purse at all times.
I always have thos Listerine pocket strips in my pocketbook ….just in case!!!!!
Would love to win the prize. Thanks for hosting giveaway.
I try to make sure I always have gum with me at work to pop in my mouth when it’s dry or after eating!

I love garlic and onions, which means i have to be very careful about my breath and I always carry gum or colgate wisps with me!
I’m always paranoid about my breath, it’s great to practice safe breath and keep gum always within easy reach!
I went on a date with a boy and his breath was so bad that I didn’t want a second date
I always try to brush my teeth or chew on some gum before going to a party. I don’t want to meet people for the first time with bad breath.

i have some life savers for my bro and sis, wow, don’t they know?
I carry mints with me to class
When I was a teenager, I used to love one brand of mints that have real peppermint oil in them. I have allergies and they really made me feel better. I was in church and was sucking on these mints. My older brother, who was sitting next to me, thought they were too strong and whispered “You Stink!” and got up and moved to the opposite end of the pew. I was so embarrassed! I never bought those mints again.
I need to chew gum after eating garlic.
Thank you.
I always have some kind of mint or hard candy or gum in my purse for a quick breath freshener
i always carry gum or mints so, so far so good!

kims2312@verizon.net

Safe Breath story ( true one): One of my aunts was left at the alter on her wedding day, said he couldn’t stand her odor.
I keep listerine pocket mints with me at all times. Don’t like gum very much but I’ll certainly enjoy the gum when I win.
Thanks for the contest.
Gotta have fresh breath or the dog with lick your mouth true story
love raw onions. fortunately my fella’ does too lol
Even before my sweetie and I first started dating in high school, he’d always nervously pop tic-tacs after lunch (gum wasn’t allowed in classes, so tic-tacs were easier)–that was one of the things that first made me think that my interest in him might be a mutual one. Thank goodness I was right! While he never has particularly bad breath, I’m grateful that he’s always so considerate as to make sure his breath smells nice around me.
Somehow my mother never passed along that when someone offers you a mint … it’s often a bit of code that there is a breath issue going on. When the penny finally dropped, I was left trying to remember times when people had offered me mints in the past.
i always make sure to have gum to keep a fresh breath when i go out on a date.

Someone asked me for gum and a mint; when I gave him one, he said it was because he wanted to kiss me!
I always keep gum in our van!
I always carry gum with me especially when working in a small office with lots of people and I always offer my office mates gum too!
I actually carry a small bottle of listerine in my purse… just in case!
i always keep gum in my purse cause you never know who you will meet up with
nannypanpan@gmail.com
A guy I was not interested in, at all, other than as a casual friend, kissed me one night. He had obviously just stuck a breath mint in his mouth. I would have been turned off by bad breath, but for some reason, his deliberate and obvious planning turned me off too. Weird.
I actually LOVE mints and eat them all the time so it serves a double use! I would like to think I don’t have bad breath! And if I did I hope someone would tell me!
i always carry gum in my purse cause you never know.
I always carry gum with me for fresh breath and I Love Dentyne!
When I was still dating, I’d always keep some kind of mints or gum both in my purse, and my car
Today at work after sushi I chewed some nice mint gum!
Safe breath story… okay, my biggest freak-out with that is when I go to the eye doctor because they have to get right in your face for some of the exam. I get soooo tired of holding my breath in the eye doc’s office.

When I was pregnant, I chewed gum constantly. I felt like my pre natal vitamins gave me bad breath, so I was a gum fanatic!
I always have gum or mints on me for fresh breath
Share one of YOUR safe breath stories!!
i get a headache just thinking about it
I once had a first date at an Indian restaurant and was concerned about my breath for the good night kiss – I had no gum on me, but I saw a bowl of seeds at the counter on the way out and took a chance and popped a handful in my mouth. Luckily, they were anise-flavored and did the trick, perfectly covering up my curry breath!
i keep peppermints with me at all times!
i’ve had meetups where i tried not to speak directly in anyone’s face. its not a common occurence, but i should know better than to have a spicy meal before socializing
i would make sure to have gum with me everytime i went to the dentist–my breath was pretty good but my dentist always smelt like onions
No stories but I always chew gum at work. I work with kids and it is also a good way to keep them on task because they always want gum so I will tell them “if you do what you are supposed to be doing I will gigve you gum at the end”.
I always carry gum with me no matter where I go.
I have been unemployed for six months and because of all the interviews I go on, I have had to ensure my breath is on the up-and-up more so than ever before!
I make sure to always carry gum with me for fresh breath, especially since school just began and 6 year olds can be brutally honest!

I carry gum all the time because it is not feasible to brush your teeth throughout the day
I’m careful to always keep mints in my purse.
I brush my teeth after every meal to make sure my breath is fresh.
I have to keep gum on me at all times because I’m always meeting new clients, potential new employers, and am wanting to charm the dickens out of people I meet along life’s way.
I don’t really have any safe breath stories.
