Broadcast Transcript: Spicy kimchee and garlicky fish. Standard fare in Korea. Good for the health, sure, but for the breath? Not so much. So in an attempt to promote healthy eating along with kissably fresh breath, Korean scientists have developed the tiny kiss apple. Apples are known to be natural breath fresheners but chomping down on an after dinner regulation size fruit could ruin the romantic mood. Hence the kiss apple. The ping-pong ball sized fruit can be popped in the mouth whole. Not content with nature's toothbrush as it is, the developers are already dreaming of mass producing a better kiss apple, one that offers enhanced odor control. So, unlike Snow White, South Korean lovebirds can skip the coma and go directly from biting the apple to enjoying the awakening kiss. #boyd #ceas #hacker #SouthKorea
