Dear G Costa
My wife is forever making disparaging remarks about my breath and pointedly leaving Clorets
round the house, so you can imagine my delight when I read on a can of your Blue
Dragon Water Chestnuts that they "are consider 'yin', and cooling, and are thought
to sweeten the breath." Here we go, I said to myself, cool sweet breath, just the
thing to quieten her. The following day I stir-fried
the whole of the contents of the can with some diced squid, about half-a-dozen
cloves of garlic, four slices of root ginger, and a dessertspoonful of five spice
powder, and ate the lot with some Bachelors Aromatic Rice. Then, confident in the
knowledge that my breath would pass muster, I walked up to my wife and planted a
smacker full on her lips. She kicked me! At a loss as to her behaviour, I asked her why. She
told me
that I smelled like a drain.
In view of the claim on your can that my breath would be cool and sweet after
eating your water chestnuts, would you care to explain this?
Yours faithfully  |
