Halitosis Detector: Love It or Leave It?

Don't rely on brutally honest little kids and loved ones to tell you when you have bad breath - let technology do it for you!

I have no idea how this Halitosis Detector works, but it's definitely appealing to my deepest insecurities. For just $11 (on sale from $25!), this little gizmo somehow measures your breath in four different stages of stinkiness.

I'm guessing the horrified icon screaming, "Wait!" on display is the worst. What do you say, use the covert breathing-into-your-hand trick, or would you trust this gadget to have your back?

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

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.
