Antipoleez: Breathmint That Hides Alcohol Smell


A Swiss company has come up with Anitpoleez, a breathmint that elimates alcohol & tobacco breath.  You can buy this product fairly easily online.

As a result, some police agencies want to make this product illegal because it may be useful for those who want to drive drunk without getting caught.  

The president of the company that makes Antipoleez talked to the press and said that it is not for people who want to get wasted behind the wheel.  It is for those who want to go to the bar after work and have only a few drinks.

Antipoleez does not just hide alcohol smells but is also useful for smokers and people with nasty food breath.

Vodka Campaign Starts Controversy


A brand new advertising strategy by Absolut Vodka seems to be backfiring.
In a new commercial, Absolut refers to the state of California as  being part of Mexico making some Americans feel like they are pandering to the Mexican government.

The ad called 'in an Absolut World' begins with a map of the United States 160 years ago when the Mexican government was in control of California.  

Representatives for the vodka company claimed that the controversial commercials will not appear on American television and that the ad had no link to the current immigration debate
