What's the best breath mint for someone w/ severe Halitosis?

I know someone w/ extremely bad breath, and I would like to carry a pack of a great-instantly-working breathmint to offer them when I'm dealing with them.

What's the best breath mint for someone w/ severe Halitosis?
It really doesn't work...at best, the strong odor of the mint is suppose to over-power the bad breath. They just need to keep hearing from a number of people "a variety of comments" (well intended...that indicates they have a severe breath problem).



"...are you feeling OK? ...your breath as an odor that you might have a severe stomach upset?"



"...what did you eat last? ...your breath has an unsual strong odor...I can't identify it! (that might open a discussion to educate/teach what is necessary to resolve it).



If you can find a really "hot looking" person (that they will never see again)...tooooo really make a direct sincere point about it! It might drive the point home.



If it is due to poor dental hygiene/periodontal disease and/or rotten/stale cigarrette breath...they probably won't do what needs to be done... to address the etiology of the whole thing. You will just have to keep your distance.



I have run across a few people over the years that are pretty pathetic "breath-wise". I understand your pain!
Reply:Altoids is a curiously strong mint.
Reply:Orbit, or other really strong gums like that are a Temp fix, but if it's THAT bad their might be some kind of dietary or hygiene problem at the root of it.
Reply:altoids are great
Reply:Try Listerine PockeMist or Strips or Tic Tacs. Probably Altoids. Also, menthol coughdrops from Ricola are strong.
Reply:Listerine breath strips.
