Was a great product
I really used to like the Altoids.All the flavors were nice
and strong, and had a nice kick.Recently the manufacturer has begum adding corn syrup solids or some "corn" product, and since i'm allergic to corn, I've had to stop using them.
Bummer.

My Beer Drinking Pal Sucks on these Like Candy
All right, is it a breath mint or some kind of crazy foreign candy? Do people really suck on these things that taste like Dentine on steroids. They do, what's more there are people that swear by them. In fact I know a guy who stops off at a topless place (we still have places like that in Reno) every night and has a beer or two while he watches the girls, maybe gets a lap dance. He swears by these things, better than rancid beef jerky, he says, for wiping away the foamy taste of the brew he'd been drinking, while he was lusting with his eyes, his heart and other parts of his body, as well.

I have another friend who actually likes these things, gobbles them as if they really were candy and I've often wondered why I can smell the cinnamon on his breath, while my beer drinking buddy has breath fresh as a newborn's. Maybe the beer is a requirement before popping one of these cinnamon flavored doodads into your mouth.

So I guess the bottom line here is if you're doing something where the taste of booze on your breath might not be a good thing, like driving, for example, then maybe you should have these things handy, but if you're not, well then you're not, but you can eat 'em, suck on 'em, roll 'em around in your mouth anyway if you please, if you don't mind smelling like a case of dentine. Just tell people your British, offer them one of these and pretend that you have class. Who knows, you might even fool 'em.

PS. Don't get me wrong here, I am not, definitely NOT recommending driving while intoxicated. Don't do that, it is very bad. Bad, bad, can't say it enough.

Wintergreen is my favorite flavor
Called "Frozen Tongue" this was the second flavored released by ALTOIDS in 1998.

ALTOIDS mints were first produced in England at the turn of the 19th century during the reign of King George III.

Ingredients: sugar, artificial flavor, gum Arabic, gelatin, corn syrup, natural flavor.

My first encounter with wintergreen was in a heat rub (I smelled it but did not eat it.) Then I found it in some circular candy with a hole in the middle. Now I keep a tin of ALTOIDS at work, home and in the car.

Altoids: Curiously Strong Mint and/or Modern Urban Legend?
Like many people I never paid attention to Altoids, the curiously strong mints made in Great Britain by Callard & Bowser, until Kenneth Starr made his report and covered events that allegedly occurred November 13, 1997 in the study of the White House between President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.However, the Starr Report was not able to offer any insights on Altoids since all that happened on that date involved an antique paperweight in the shape of the White House.However, I did find an informal poll conducted by David Emery of Urban Legends and Folklore produced the following results:

38% have tried it and say that it works;
8% have tried it and say that it is no big deal;
27% have never tried it but think that it would work;
15% have never tried it and think it would not work; and
10% wish the subject had never been brought up.

Please note that there was no distinction made in the original e-mail, the conversation at the White House, or this informal poll between the Wintergreen and the Peppermints varieties of Altoids.However, if you discount those who have never tried Altoids, even for its originally intended purpose, 81% of the respondents to this informal poll were able to render a favorable verdict.That is not a bad statistical result, even given that the sample is totally random and that you have to account for variables (e.g., size of the mint being used).

Then you add to this mix the idea that these really are curiously strong mints.Granted, they are not a taste that can be acquired by one and all, because they are intense, but given the mild mints that we had to put up before Altoids made its way across the pond this is a vast improvement.These are just as strong as they claim to be on the tin.

Please note that there was no distinction made in the original e-mail, the conversation at the White House, or this informal poll between the Peppermint and Wintergreen varieties of Altoids, so who knows which one they were talking about.However, if you discount those who have never tried Altoids, even for its originally intended purpose, 81% of the respondents to this informal poll were able to render a favorable verdict. That is not a bad statistical result, even given that the sample is totally random and that you have to account for variables (e.g., size of the mint being used).

My strong preference is for the "Originally Celebrated Curiously Strong Peppermints," which is a flowery but not hyperbolic description of the product. Granted, these are not a taste that can be acquired by one and all, because they are as intense as adverstised and it is not like you are going to start popping these in your mouth one afater anohter, but given the mild mints that we had to put up before Altoids made its way across the pond this is a vast improvement. These are just as strong as they claim to be on the tin and I should know because I have one in my mouth as I write these words.

Forget about Altoids...
I am a big fan of mints. I mean I LOVE mints. I normally carry around a tin with me, and if I can, a whole box of tins. I always thought Altoids were the best mints, but then I picked up a tin of these on a trip to Orlando. I'm in love. I personally think they pack twice the punch that Altoids do, and without the white powder getting all over you. And the caffeine is quite a plus. Especially if you have to sit through anything boring. Now I wont be falling asleep in history anymore ;). So heed my advice, buy these. Or else. ... Read more
