Eyes Wide Open
Got morning breath that could wake the dead? This caffeine-loaded mint will remove the stench and get your motor running.
Dawn has broken: Your body feels like a sack of wet cement, and your breath smells like a diaper pail. Coffee can remedy the first problem and mouthwash might take care of the second, but perhaps you've woken up in a stranger's bed, or worse, on the subway (again). Thanks to Penguin Caffeinated Peppermints, Seattle's latest sugar-free buzz, you can get your fix and be minty-fresh at the same time-and all for $3 a tin. But you'll need to pop a handful of these aspirin-size mints to get a kick: As you can see from the chart below, it takes eight or more Penguins to equal one cuppa joe. At least your breath won't make your girlfriend think that something crawled in your mouth and died.
