Peanut Butter Induced Nausea

I was given a briefing today by my intermediate superior. Half way through, I really felt like vomiting all over him.
-------
You see, he was eating a peanut butter sandwich while he was briefing me, and we were at breath's length. The foul smell that was emitted from his mouth really made me queasy. I wanted to offer him a mint but my EQ told me not to.

Sometimes, people just don't realize that there must be a certain form of etiquette during a conversation. They know about the 'political correctness', they know how to be subtle, they might even know about 'body language' but many seem to be oblivious about one very important point - The smell of one's breath when one is engaging in a conversation.
-------
Peanut butter makes a tasty breakfast meal, open a bottle of peanut butter and it'll probably smell devine but the same cannot be said about peanut butter breath. So in conclusion - Peanut Butter Good, Peanut Butter Breath Bad... Very Bad.
-------
There are many examples that further illustrate my point. Chicken Rice, Cuttlefish Snacks, Cigarettes... to name a few. In all of these examples, the product will taste and smell very nice to the person consuming/using it BUT let me assure you, the same will not be said by the person standing next to you, or worse, the person talking to you.
-------
Just gargle your mouth after your meal or get a mint for crying out loud.
