You know the ones. After spending all day buzzing about in a comical bubble of delirious anticipation, you finally meet that gorgeous stranger at that swanky cocktail lounge and after a few perplexing moments realise you may just be on the WORST DATE OF YOUR LIFE.
There can be many reasons why a date is disastrous says dating guru Jo Barnett. It could be that your potential lover starts blubbering about their much longed-for ex over a pitiful plate of ravioli or it could be their rather random habit of breaking energetically into song upon the arrival of each course.
The fresh breath experts at Dentyl Active, the alcohol free mouthwash with a distinctive two-phase bad breath busting action, asked 1000 Brits about their dating life and found that a hearty 46% of us have had their opinion of someone changed because of a bad-tasting kiss.
This intriguing survey also discovered that 38% of people claimed that bad breath is one of their top three dating turn offs, with stale breath named as the nastiest type of pongy breath.
DATING CAPERS:
What is the worst thing that could happen on a date? According to our fresh breath experts, Dentyl Active, the list is endless. The same survey poll noted everything from getting stood up, witnessing a fashion tragedy to being abandoned mid-evening, a date getting a little giddy and a date looking nothing like their online dating photo were named and shamed as the saddest tales.
Amidst these dating capers, the worst culprit for a bad date was found to be a lack of connection – with 26.50% of people quizzed by Dentyl Active stating this very sensible reason.
It’s always easy to blame the other person when good dates turn bad, but let’s be honest, sometimes we mess up too. We all yearn to make a seriously splendid first impression when meeting a sexy someone for the first time, yet sometimes fail miserably.
A ludicrous 89% of the Brits questioned by Dentyl Active admitted to worrying about their breath. Not only is worrying bad for your health, it’s just not sexy – so make sure you get gargling with a bacteria-busting mouthwash before you meet your love at first swipe.
KISS & TELL: The Dentyl Active range of mouthwashes are scientifically tested to kill and remove oral bacteria, leaving teeth and gums protected for up to 18 hours so that your breath is blissfully fresh…and you are ready to get up close and personal.
SAY HELLO TO DENTYL ACTIVE – SHAKE IT. SEE IT. FEEL IT. ®
The Dentyl Active range of alcohol free mouthwashes contain antibacterial ingredients – natural essential oils and Cetylpyridinium Chloride – CPC. Both ingredients, which have to be shaken together before swilling the mouthwash around the mouth, are proven to ‘bust’ oral bacteria which cause nasty breath. The bacteria and debris then stick to the clever mouthwash solution. When you rinse Dentyl Active out from the mouth you can see the bacteria, food debris and other deposits, removed and highlighted as small, brightly coloured masses in the sink. Now that’s just plain smart thinking from Dentyl Active!
