Oh me too! It started when I purchased a guitar from Sweetwater. They include little packs of candy with orders. The first one included Laffy Taffy banana and I was instantly addicted. Now Sweetwater sends me ALL LT banana! That is how you create a devoted customer!
(Yes, I do buy them outside of Sweetwater orders, the Household CFO wouldn’t approve of me ordering enough guitars to feed my own diseased love.)
All the listed remedies work well (including the Laffy Taffy).
But, for the love of God, PLEASE don’t use a floss pick then throw it on the ground in the parking lot. I can’t believe how often I park someplace and find one or two on the ground… YUCK!
@chienfou eewwww I use them constantly but would be mortified if it wound up on the ground. I even pick up the ones the Englishman doesn’t make into the bathroom trashcan. Apparently those individuals never grew up with Captain Planet.
@chienfou@sillyheathen Yeah, I usually keep one handy (in my pocket) - I really hate having something stuck between teeth. But I always dispose of them responsibly.
Ignore it. C’mon…I’m married. Who am I trying to impress?
@tweezak
The person who you want to stay not leave?
@tweezak
I would hope that you never stop trying to impress your spouse.
@tweezak I live alone and rarely leave the house but it’s still unpleasant to have my mouth feel gross.
Mouthwash
Just swish some water around my mouth and between my teeth.

schnappscandy usually revitalizes me.Laffy Taffy banana flavour. (Yes, artificial banana, I know)
@Clumber
I have a diseased love for this candy.

I first had Laffy taffy banana when I was a kid I think preschool
Probably on visits to 7-Eleven to look at comic books because one was in walking distance
If we bought one comic, the owner would let us read other ones sitting down on the floor so that we didn’t have to buy them and that was cool
He did make us wash her hands first and dry them thoroughly and keep the comic so we didn’t buy looking as though they were brand new
Unfortunately, there was no Marvel. He only had a contract for DC so I didn’t even know about the Marvel characters.
But I would always buy myself one piece of candy while I was there in addition to a comic my brother and I used to go together
And one day he suggested I try the taffy
And that was the end of that I was in love
So many decades, and my love has never faltered

Why can’t I order this stuff by the closet full? It’s probably like Twinkies. It never goes bad.
Yeah, I know it’s terrible for you and me and everybody else
But I’m a kid who grew up in the worst times of the Cold War when we were all going to get under our desks and then die of radiation poisoning
So I have a certain Laffy taffy attitude of “what the hell?”
I’ve found that I get bad breath when I haven’t been drinking enough water (apart from eating food that would cause it)
Sweetwater is a Great Place to buy Guitars!
I replace my mouth. Don’t you guys?
I’m wearing my Sweetwater T today.

@sillyheathen
Yeah, it just baffles me how anyone would think that was a good idea. They have become the new ‘cigarette butt’. What assholes!

It’s for coughs and sore throats but it also freshens breath. If you haven’t tried Fisherman’s Friend you should. Thank me later.

Such a tremendous writer!
Swear, chug a beer, smoke a joint.
Mouth happy.
Maybe it’s just me, but this subject title seems oddly appropriate as the premise of some cheap adult novelty item or video.
