Do you work with someone that has awful breath but are afraid to tell them? Do you wish someone would let them know anonymously? BadBreathOGram.com is an online service that lets you inform someone of their bad breath discreetly and anonymously through email. According to BadBreathOGram:
BadBreathOGram was developed to take the embarrassment out of alerting someone to a personal problem that effects everyone within a breath’s reach. BadBreathOGram was in development for two years, and its creators have worked very hard to ensure that its message is humorous and non-offensive to the recipient. The text of BadBreathOGram is the result of a national talent competition of comedy writers and is intended to make people with bad breath aware of the problem without hurt feelings or the humiliation of being told in person. Bad breath is not only obnoxious to by-standers, but can be a sign of a serious dental or medical problem, which is why the BadBreathOGram provides links to informative resources on the prevention and treatment of bad breath in the hope of eliminating bad breath forever.
BadBreathOGram has a Find a Dentist feature so that someone with bad breath can locate an American Dental Association member dentist and do something about their problem.
