A private school I used to go to banned Listerine breath strips, the ones you put on your tongue, because too many kids were using them.

Was this like a Monsters Inc. Academy or something?

I wish. Iโ€™d have liked it even more. Totally regular school just private. Only there for a few years before moving.

IIRC didn't they have a small amount of alcohol or other chemical that kids would use too many of to purposely get drunk/high? Maybe I'm thinking of something else though

That's true of mouthwash, but that seems impossible with breath strips. Like, both physically and financially impossible.
