Why mint?

[fyl2u]

Why is mint the main acceptable smell for breath while other tastes and smells that are considered not just acceptable but downright tasty when found in food and drink are shunned on people's breath?

Why don't we find it acceptable to have for example, onion toothpaste, garlic mouthwash or madras chewing gum?

Who decided that pretty much all the other possible smells on your breath are stinky whereas mint is fine?

It's a bit weird.

Because it smells nicer pal

I prefer it when people's breath honks of alcohol. Always have done.

It more about the fresh clean feeling it gives to your gob rather than the smell.

I would guess because it's a bit menthol and opens your senses a bit.

That said, I'm not sure how I'd feel if someone smelled like rosemary

I think she smells lovely

 

[CraigyLee]

Because garlic breath is rancid... can't think of anything else that lingers as much as mint and garlic

When you're a young un and you give them a sly sniff after giving the lass a quick finger and it ends up on the edge of your nostrils (cos you tried to do it quickly so not to be noticed).

She has a full on tache now apparently. She'll look a bit like Omar Sharif

Simply: marketing.

From what I remember the cold sensation you get from menthol was sold as feeling fresh or clean. They advertised it as mint because it sold better.
