Has Bad Breath Finally Met Its Match?

Bad breath. It's real and it could happen to you at any moment. In fact, Tuesday, August 6, is (apparently?) National Fresh Breath Day. To celebrate a world in which universal fresh breath might someday be possible, and to raise awareness about the unpleasant odor that we might be inflicting our peers with, we're on a quest to find the ultimate bad breath fix. We're particularly averse to bad breath here at the R29 headquarters, where our coffee addictions require toothpaste on the regular. We've talked about the causes of bad breath and tips to combat it, but now there's a specialized product that claims to fight bad breath rather than merely masking it. No, not gum.

We're not really sure what exactly Thomas Connelly's 32 Effervescent Treatment is, but with its confident claims to conquer our odorous exhales, you can bet we're going to test it out. Check out this video for what happened when our assistant beauty editor Tara put it to the test — against her very own coffee breath (yes, we tested that for realness, too).
