Do the young whipper-snappers still say that? Anyway, I dumped a girl in High School because she had bad breath ONCE. It was so bad that I just couldn’t kiss her anymore without thinking about it. All these years later I have always felt guilty about it, until today. Apparently I’m not the only person in the world who would dump someone just because of their bad breath. According to a survey by Dentyne (they would know) on bad breath, 86% of people say bad breath is a deal breaker on the first date. Another 58% of people have dumped someone because of it. Woo hoo! Im in the majority, and all this time I felt like a shallow douche.
