I’m actually a bit reluctant to write this blog post because this topic could get quite gross, but I’m not going to make it gross.
I was sitting with my friend and I asked her if I could have one of her mints. Her answer was of course, yes. As I reached over to get a mint, this crazy thought crossed my mind (this happens often). I asked her, “Who decided that a mouth should smell like mint? Why can’t it be pomegranate or something?” She burst out in laughter!
Wait…another epiphany came into my mind – There are various flavours of chewing gum! Well, now I've just spoilt my own fun and ruined the purpose of this blog. (Long silent pause)
No wait! Regardless of this, the standard ‘mouth smell’ still remains mint. So what is the deal with that? I get that a mouth can’t or shouldn’t smell like egg, garlic, onion or cheese, because that wouldn’t smell too good, but why mint?
There are other nice smelling things too, such as lavender, cinnamon, strawberries or even daffodils. So why can’t it be one of these? Why can’t one of these smells be the standard mouth smell? Just something I’m curious about…
