My vivid memory of it is, of the YWCA, where I took swimming lessons with my sister.

There used to be a gum called Clorets which had chlorophyll to freshen your breath.

What a taste blast from the past, @sommertime. IIRC, that gum tasted very bad.

I keep chlorophyll capsules at home (Chlorofresh).  I use them after a spicy meal, like garlic, and it really helps neutralize the odor.

Ditto @cotton4me.  After a particularly odoriferous meal (with onions & garlic), I take these same capsules and I'm right as rain.  I get them regularly at Whole Foods.

I love my green raw vegetables every day, but taking these once in a while works great for me.

" Chew Clorets, the gum delicious,

   They'll make your breath kissing sweet!"

I still remember the tune.

Yes, Clorets!   I was trying to search my mind regarding some kind of chlorophyll gum, wondering if I was imagining it.  And then, 'low and behold', the photo appeared!   I'd like to see a return of Clorets.  It would probably be a best seller.

Just eat your dark leafy green vegetables, and you'll get plenty of chlorophyll, such as spinich (yum) and kale (yuck).

"The trick to retaining maximum chlorophyll in food is to eat it raw or cook/steam it slightly. If you can retain the green color, you will retain the beneficial chlorophyll."
