    Today I dig into the licorice breath mint Sen-Sen! I explore the origin of the product's name and the many movie references over the years!

    It feels good to finally understand what Billy Joel was talking about!

    My father used Sen-Sen. I tried it & loved it. Only other mention I recall is in Mad Magazine in their Evil Comics/Bill Gaines days.

    I loved Sen-Sen, but it wasn't easy to find. I'm so sad that it's gone. There's nothing like it!

    My friends parents owned a five and dime store. I always went there to meet him and we got sen-sen and wacky packages from his moms store.

    Have you ever read a Shakespeare play and every page has tons of notes explaining the contemporary references of the time? Movies and TV shows are going to need pop-up notes to explain stuff like this. "Sen Sen was a product used to mask bad breathe."
    Another interesting video. Thanks.
