I am so glad my dating days are behind me.  Especially first dates!  Sure, they can be fun and exciting with all of the newness and anticipation, but they are also extremely nerve-wracking. Aside from the whole chemistry/compatibility question, there is the scariness of The First Kiss. 

Hollywood tells us that this moment is perfectly romantic (or sweetly awkward in the way you'll giggle about decades later when you two have been happily married for eons), but anyone who has spent any time on the dating scene knows that's not always the case.  Do you remember that Mr. Bean sketch where he is about to meet the Queen and realizes he has the worst breath? Click here to watch now.

I don't know about you, but it's exactly what I always worried about moments before a first kiss.  Nasty breath = Deal Breaker.

By the time you get around to that momentous Kiss, it's been many long hours since you spent quality time with your toothbrush.  And even if you had the foresight to pop it in your purse for just such an occasion, did you realize that toothbrushing alone only cleans about 25% of your mouth anyway? 

Next, let's talk about the various germ-laden things you probably popped into your mouth over the course of the day, like bobby pins, pens, or tearing open a granola bar wrapper with your teeth.  Those bacteria are happily multiplying in your mouth while you're waiting for that sweet French kiss.

Clearly your mouth goes through a lot during the day, and since brushing and flossing your teeth only cleans part of your mouth a travel-sized antiseptic mouthwash is must-have on Date Night.  LISTERINE® antiseptic rinses are clinically proven to kill up to 99.9% of the germs in your mouth, so kiss away without worrying about your breath or unhealthy bacteria!  Hopefully Mr. Right has been equally considerate.
