remember that brief period in the 2000s when everyone had breath strips on them

[Fat4all]

what was up with that

it was weird, too, because everyone had them on them, they were more common than gum for a sec

there were even gimmick strips being sold around the same time, like energy strips

these strips are still around, but noone really gives a fuck anymore, they just kinda dropped off

i bought a pack at the store today

minty

 

[finalflame]

I still carry these around tbh, they are fresh af

 

[Mary Celeste]

"I take a sheet right on stage" sure is an interesting thing to say

 

[capitalCORN]

Joked around back in school this shit was acid. It was pretty lame.

 

[Anustart]

New and trendy is popular. Hard to imagine.

Time passed and it's been pushed to the same equivalence of gum. People now choose what they prefer.

That said, I like the punch they have!

 

[Rendering...]

I'm pretty sure these things don't work at all. They just taste good.

 

[Deleted member 1086]

the trick was to take like ten of those strips at a time and stick em on your tongue. They'd burn worse than a black cherry Warhead.

That tagline plus those women's faces, just to his left, make this amazing.

 

[Musubi]

I remember being in middle school and kids having these and doing dumb shit like putting the entire pack in their mouth at once and frying their taste buds for the next solid week or two.

 

[Fat4all]

was it the 90's when breath sprays were popular? or was that the late 80's when they got big

 

[Mahonay]

I totally forgot about these until now.

 

[thefragrance]

I remember begging the people at the gas station to tell me where the fuck those mint strips that this one kid in school had with him were. Nobody had any idea what I was talking about

 

[Tezz]

Oh yeah. Huh. Weird.

 

[Robin]

Wow I literally forgot about those things. Capitalism is weird dudes.

 

[Laserbeam]

weirder still is I knew kids who ate them like candy.

Shit was pretty gross.

 

[FaceHugger]

I took those pills for weeks that were supposed to improve your breath by doing something in your stomach, or something. They didn't work. They vanished before the breath strips did in my area. I can't remember the last time I saw any for sell in a convenience store.

Now I carry a tin of Altoids in the car.

 

[Brinbe]

hahaah holy shit

are these things still around?

 

[krae_man]

Kids back in grade 6-7(1992-3) were hardcore into Breath Assure. You're first kiss could happen at any moment. You gotta be ready. Garlic breath probably would have been preferable to how much Breath Assure was in our mouths at all times.

[OmniGamer]

I never went out of my way to get them, even though I like them....they'd usually come as a free sample with some full sized Listerine mouthwash bottles, so I'd get them that way

 

[Deleted member 21709]

I use them.

 

[Fat4all]

if you put them flat on your palm they curl up

magic trick

jokers trick

 

[echoshifting]

I use the ready tabs now. They are pretty damn good

When I gave one to my wife she thought it was a prank, they really punch ya in the mouth the first time

 

[Valkerion]

Have not seen these in like 15 years. I'm a mint person anyway.

[Lumination]

I bought a 3 pack for dating a few months ago. Seems less minty than they were 15yrs ago, but maybe I'm just older.

They need to make comeback. I've met people with nasty breath and they've seemed oblivious.

 

[Ze_Shoopuf]

They always made me sneeze.
Same for Altoids.

 

[Ronabo]

Remember the ones that looked like drugs? They got taken off the shelves.

 

[Wackamole]

Never even heard of them. American thing?

 

[MegaBeefBowl]

Still use them.

I haven't tried the Ready Tablets yet. Kinda just sounds like a fucking mint?

I see Tide Pods got a redesign.

[Tagyhag]

I liked them, they worked pretty well. I just never see them anywhere now so I stick to mints.

Was thinking the same thing. First I ever heard of these strips.

 

[Fuchsia]

They do the trick pretty well actually.

Kinda miss them.

The hilarity of "taking a sheet in your mouth" might be lost in certain languages I guess.

Nah, we had them here in Sweden. They were mostly given away with magazines and other junk tho.

[meowdi gras]

I still need these for sleeping. Allergies + deviated septum = win.

 

[ned_ballad]

My mom still carries these around with her. She has been since they came out, she loves them.

 

[Ambient80]

That Pitbull picture is... something.

 

[Papa Satanás]

There's a medical cannabis producer that sells weed sheets now.

Bet the mint tastes better than dissolving ganja.
