Normally, we're cool with stinky breath as long as the food we're eating tastes good, but tonight, our editors are attending the ASME awards (where we've received a few nomination nods!).

The only problem? We've got a ramp tasting in the kitchen beforehand. We put out the call to our readers on Facebook and Twitter-how can we get rid of our ramp breath? Here are your genius ideas.
