Love It or Leave It: Kiss-o-Meter

Valentine's Day is just five days away, and whether you have plans with your long-time sweetheart or with someone new that night, romance could lead to some smooching — which is no time for bad breath!

Valentine's Day is just five days away, and whether you have plans with your long-time sweetheart or with someone new that night, romance could lead to some smooching — which is no time for bad breath! You could cup your hands over your mouth, exhale and take a sniff, but why would you when you can use this bad breath detector, called the Kiss-o-Meter ($30)?

Just breathe into the holes and wait for the five possible outcomes: Kiss me, Possible, Maybe, Risky, and Never. Tell me, do you think this is a useful tool, or would you consider the Kiss-o-Meter a gag gift you'd never buy?

Valentine's Day

The Kiss-o-Meter Tells You If You Have Kissable Breath (or Not)

Who will you be smooching this Valentine's Day?

Who will you be smooching this Valentine's Day? Make your decision based on a very scientific measurement with the Kiss-o-Meter ($30).

Even though it sounds like it's judging your smooching prowess, it's actually a tiny bad breath detector. The lights tell you if you're good to go, or conversely, if the person you're about to lock lips with is. But the secret's out; if someone whips this out to use on you, try not to be too offended.

It's definitely better than someone whipping out the super-obvious Halitosis Detector.
