cucumber breath

Cucumber or cukes is made up of 90% water, which is easily digested, but what happens with the other 10%? The problem is that this % accumulates along the sides and roof of your mouth, and a largre portion of this percent subsides just before your airvalves. When a person breathes a very distant (almost matched to garlic breathe) smell exhales from your mouth, this is called "Cucumber breath."

It is regarded among many as a vile form of behaviour and many proffesionals recommend that one only eats cucummber in private. Not to be shared as a social food or treat. Also watch out for 'Persian Cucumbers' as their smell is much worse.
