I do not have many fixations in my Life. But Mints are definitely one of them.
Going without some for too long really does not play all that well with me.
A few Years ago I then discovered Altoids, and promptly fell in love with not only the Mints, but also the handy little Tin they cone in.
Sadly though, they disappeared from the Drug Store Shelves soon after, and I was not going to spend up to 10€ a pop online.
Just after Christmas, when I also got a Tin of those Cinnamon Mints, I also found Altoids again.
There were only five Tins available, and so, in order not to be a wanker, I bought four.
Right now I kinda wish that I had gotten them all though. I am already down to three Tins!
Altoids really are some of my absolute favourite Mints. And I can not even get the others anymore since the Pharmacy that made them closed shop earlier this Year.
I do not really have my own words to describe the Flavour of Altoids better than they do themselves: The Mints really are curiously strong, and very minty indeed.
And that is exactly what I want from my Mints. They should not be to strong as well though, so that the actual Mint Flavour does not get overpowered.
Altoids actually do that dance very well.
That Flavour is actually not the only Thing I love about Altoids though.
Lets say that the Tin they come in is not only useful for holding Mints. I myself have found countless uses for them.
One even holds a bit of Hiking Kit, namely shoelaces and a little Gerber Pocket Knife.
My Headphones do not usually live in one, but that might actually change. They would be very well protected in there.
