I would rather have bad breath. You can cure it by popping a breath mint or chewing minty gum. Body odor is harder to mask. Even gallons of perfume won't help.

It would have to be bad breath, a mint can't do much for bad BO, LOL!

ha ha Welcome to the Would You Rather!!! :) This can be very fun!!! I would much rather have bad breath. It is quicker to pop a mint or brush my teeth. And if I am told that I have bad breath before a meeting, those Listerine Strips are amazing!!! But there is no way I could take a shower before the meeting. I don't think spraying body spray would help...then it would stink with a slight smell of flowers. ha ha That is not going to cut it. LOL

can it not be told? ^__^ if I were the one to tell i'd rather give him a gift, maybe a toothbrush or a deodorant. ^__^ I guess i'd rather have bad breath coz its easier to cure. & I'd rather a person not tell me but to give me something that would give me a hint. ^__^

I would rather be told that I have bad breath. I could always blame it on something I ate for lunch LOL! I hate body odor, so I would hate for someone to tell me that I had it.

I would rather be told I had bad breath because that would give me an excuse to pop some yummy gum in my mouth! lol.

I think bad breath. because body odor can make you smell all over. Its easier to brushing your teeth and use mouthwash than to have to take a shower to get rid of body odor . Especially if you are out. i take my tooth brush and tooth past with me just in case. lol;.

Well, I suppose I would rather know if I have bad breath. I can smell myself for BO, but it's rather difficult to smell my breath. Interesting topic. :)

I would rather be told I have bad breath because I think it's less embarrassing and it's quicker and easier to fix. Having bad body odor makes it seem as though you don't have good hygiene habits. Even if you forget to put on deodorant or you end up working up a sweat, and can't help smelling bad, I still think it is more awkward. Having bad breath is less embarrassing because it can simply be from something you ate, so I think it's much more understandable. Also, it is easier to fix by chewing some gum, or you could try to talk without breathing on others.
