Mouthwash, anyone?

I popped an antihistamine before hurrying out to the car, and we were on our way.

My eyes were tearing up and I started sneezing - and I realised that it absolutely reeked in the car. "Dad, are you wearing cologne to a funeral??"

"No, I rinsed with mouthwash. It was one of the little hotel bottles, labelled 'Mouthwash', but it was so strong that I spit it out immediately. I tried rinsing and brushing my teeth, but I can't get rid of it."

I think that one of my brothers must've reused the little bottle for cologne or aftershave. I couldn't talk to my dad all morning because the stench was too much to handle. (Luckily lunch and lots of tea helped.)
