| Summary |
Fifteen years ago Karl's daughter told him he had bum breath. This set Karl off on a journey to find out what causes halitosis and most importantly, how to cure it. Don't get mad, get fact.This week Karl and Adam reveal the gases and bacteria at play in your mouth. They talk to world leading academic on bad breath, Mel Rosenberg. A visit to a mouth and nose specialist leads to Karl discovering he has an additional cavity in his sinuses produced by the build up, and subsequent explosion, of pus. Luckily there is a camera up his nose to show exactly where it is and what it looks like.We find out how you can test yourself for bad breath, cure it and also how to tell a stinky friend. Karl explains the best way of reducing bad breath, which is a combination of a breakfast with roughage and brushing your tongue.Ruben creates Elephant's Toothpaste, which has nothing to do with elephants or toothpaste, but the eruption created by hydrogen peroxide will convince you that it has a lot to do with both.Its Karl's turn to set up the Rank-o-meter, and he puts Adam through a blind taste test, of which ox tongue isn't the most shocking. Electro-pop band Art v Science join the Geeks with an original anthem to Bad Breath.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Series Producer: Chrissie McIntyre; ABC Executive Producer: Sophia Zachariou.
