What is the reason for putting mints on pillows?

Question

How did it start and what is the point?

Answer 1

So your breath isn't so bad when you check out?

Answer 2

Because it gets rid of the funky taste that might be in the mouth at the end of the day after dinner. Like a late after dinner mint...Plus, the minty breath might help with getting in the mood for some evening romance...

Answer 3

A courtesy by the hotel to make you feel pampered and a ploy by hotel maids to get a better tip, ......they also make the wash clothes into cute animal shapes and I have seen them make fluted sheets out of the toilet paper.
I guess the idea is that you eat them in the morning so as to counter the human condition known as morning breath or even before you go to sleep breath if you are not sleeping alone.

Answer 4

I like fresh smelling breath in the morning. When you go to bed set the mint on the bed stand then when you get up in the morning pop it in you mouth for a quick breath freshener to kiss your hubby in the morning

Answer 5

A mint on the pillow should be saved for use upon waking so you may kiss your lover without bad morning breath.

kiss me you fool!

Answer 6

To having a fresh breathe.

Answer 7

i always felt the reason was that usually some kissing occurs right around the time your head hits the pillows....

Answer 8

so when you eat the mint,you dont notice the real smell of the bedding !!!!!

Answer 9

So that you have nice breath when you go to bed with your sweetie. or for when you wake up in the morning.

Answer 10

Sweet dreams?

I don't agree to this idea anyway. Why eat sweets at night? It will cause tooth decay.

Answer 11

To let you know you have had your room cleaned and bed changed and all is clean and a night time candy for you before bed!I think it started years ago!
