omg, are you that fucking retarded??? whats the only way to cure thirst? howabout drinking salt water and eating salted beef jerky?
Milkshakes, gum, lolerpops, popsicles, pornography, soup, and a whole shitload of other things. They even make "athletes gum" that makes your mouth water while you chew it (you can get it at your local sporting goods store).
^ mm milk type drinks, personaly I dont like goats milk. but plain youghurt(sp?) does the trick. Also thick drinks like pawpaw and gauva juice. Water will only cure your cotton-mouth for like 5 mins.
i saw this shit at wall greens i think its called oasis its supposed to rehydrate your mouth. its like 7 bucks though, so i'd stick to good old water.
its not a dumb question... a dumb question would be something like 'what is cotton mouth' sucking on lollies helps cotton mouth.
