I like them, why, don't you? As for the containers, they are rather handy. There are lots of I'bles based on them (mini BBQ grill, hehehe). I see you've made one.

Jan 28, 2010. 3:15 PMGeekmandude says:
I have never seen them, I was in the Kootenays for six years, now I am on the coast (near CR) and have still never seen them, other than on here ;)
Dec 5, 2009. 4:17 PMSeleziona says:
never see them in stores, but when i do, i just gobble up the mints! Then i do something with the tin (like freshen my room :)
Nov 26, 2009. 6:16 PMknexsuperbuilderfreak says:
i love um!
Sep 20, 2009. 12:41 PMTheCheese9921 says:
I love the cinnamon ones, the chocolate cinnamon ones are ok also. I usually stay away from the peppermint ones.

You are all Altoid Mints, except you Goodhart, you are a FF
Mar 8, 2009. 5:47 AMGoodhart says:
I like Althoids, but they don't go fast enough for me to get tins for use here. They are sometimes hard to find....but then, so are Fisherman's Friend :-)
Jul 3, 2009. 8:11 AMFlumpkins says:
There hard to find? Every store I walk into they have theem (food store duh)
Jul 3, 2009. 8:20 AMGoodhart says:
Mostly only the drug stores around here carry them, and then nearly always the spearmint ones, and not the peppermint ones :-)
Sep 20, 2009. 11:42 AMsharlston says:
i only get the aniseed ones
Sep 20, 2009. 12:37 PMGoodhart says:
I like the strength of the peppermint as opposed to the spearmint ones.
Oct 3, 2009. 4:54 AMFlumpkins says:
Eew. I don't like the peppermint ones. The mint takes over the flavor, and they are bitter
Jul 3, 2009. 3:53 PMGoodhart says:
Hmm, yours must get tainted somehow :-)
Jun 6, 2008. 10:37 PMGavabc123 says:

Sep 20, 2009. 11:45 AMsharlston says:
there not that strong
Apr 3, 2008. 5:29 PMkillerjackalope says:
I like them, but I once ate a full kilogram of mint cake in one go, I have been known to ingest altoids at these rates... I also like the 'curiously strong mints' we get here, like altoids but stronger.
Sep 20, 2009. 11:44 AMsharlston says:
altoids ints arent accutally that storng even though they say they are
Jul 25, 2008. 8:44 PMfoxtrot4697 says:
thats a slogan on the altoids
Jul 26, 2008. 2:10 AMkillerjackalope says:
No altoids say something like the celebrated mints curiously strong in taste... These mints are simply called curiously strong mints...
Aug 31, 2008. 11:30 AMfoxtrot4697 says:
good point
Aug 31, 2008. 2:56 PMkillerjackalope says:
Aye they're strange ones, not found in much places but they're maybe twice as strong as altoids...
Aug 11, 2009. 3:46 PMRock Soldier says:
I like the mints, but I never make anything with the tins, and I don't know anyone near me who could use them.
Aug 11, 2009. 3:41 PMD.L.H. says:
Altoids tins and candies are both awesome.

I like the ginger kind. This is sad b/c I haven't seen them in stores for months...
Sep 18, 2008. 7:34 PMiman says:
the ginger ones are the bomb :) they got me hooked on dehydrated ginger, now that clears your sinuses !
Sep 18, 2008. 8:24 PMGoodhart says:
a quarter teaspoon of raw horseradish can do that too (clear your sinuses) ;-)
Sep 18, 2008. 9:19 PMiman says:
yea that is good on a roast beef sandwich :)
Dec 28, 2008. 2:50 PMGoodhart says:

I like them...
Sep 18, 2008. 3:29 PMPlasmana says:
I like the mint ones the best.
Sep 6, 2008. 9:29 PMbigwhitebear18 says:
I keep a tin in my car so that I'll have fresh breath before coming into contact with other humans. Plus they open up my sinuses :)

I can eat loads of them. Yum.
Aug 21, 2008. 9:13 AMits a lion says:
I'm addicted to them. I keep a tin out in my car, and every time I get out, I pop one (or two) into my mouth.
Aug 2, 2008. 2:22 PMaustinblan says:
peppermint is the best!
Aug 1, 2008. 6:59 PMFlumpkins says:
Altoids are the best. I don't like the peppermint. Waaaayyyy too strong for me. I like spearmint, the dark chocolate dipped cinnamon... It's sll good except the peppermint.
Apr 23, 2008. 10:05 AMBitsi says:
Only like the wintergreen ones. I have lots of empty tins waiting for me to get inspired and hack them. I tried the ginger-flavored altoids once and had to spit it out after 5 seconds. I couldn't believe it could taste so bad, so I asked everyone in my family to try them. No one could handle them.
May 26, 2008. 3:34 PMsexycaddy says:
I love the ginger ones, especially the dark chocolate ones!!!
Jul 25, 2008. 8:43 PMfoxtrot4697 says:
haven't tried the chocolate ones yet
Jun 20, 2008. 12:52 PM=SMART= says:
ME!! well i buy them 80% for the tin and 30% for the mints
Jul 25, 2008. 8:41 PMfoxtrot4697 says:
u go to 110%
Jul 4, 2008. 11:29 AMmason0190 says:
i like reg sinnamon, and sours. I am partial to wintergren too.
Jul 25, 2008. 8:40 PMfoxtrot4697 says:
cin and sours are the best i guess

Jun 16, 2008. 5:55 PMbenthekahn says:
I like the originals. If anybody just wants the tin, send me the original Altoids!
Apr 23, 2008. 3:25 PMxACIDITYx says:
I like the new Dark Chocolate covered ones ;)
Apr 3, 2008. 5:30 PMkillerjackalope says:
Mmmm fishermans friends...
Jan 4, 2008. 11:56 AMcanida says:
I think the normal ones are fine once in a while, though it would take me a LONG time to empty a tin. Not so sure about all the weird chocolate-dipped stuff.
Jan 5, 2008. 6:50 PMDoctor What says:
It takes me an hour or two to empty a tin, if I need it for something. If not, about a day. Random thought: You know how you use "a" before words starting with a consenant, and "an" before words starting with vowels? Why does the word "hour" have an "an" before it??
Apr 3, 2008. 5:11 PMtoolgal29 says:
hour is pronounced ow-er...it starts w/ a vowel sound. :) hope tht helps!
Jan 5, 2008. 6:55 PMBran says:
Also, we say "a unicorn", not "an unicorn". The English language is just all weird like that.
Jan 5, 2008. 7:03 PMzachninme says:
Because, they do/don't have vowel sounds. You base it on sound, not letters. Letters are just a pretty darned-good indication. Most english H's are exasperated, meaning they're pronounced. In contrast, in some languages, H's aren't pronounced at all! Anyway, hour is an exception, its prounced identically to "our", thus gaining the "an". On the other hand, unicorn starts with a "yuh" sound, like a Y, which is not a vowel sound. (although "aye", another possible sound for Y, is)
Jan 5, 2008. 7:08 PMBran says:
You pronounce 'our' and 'hour' same? Everyone I know pronounces 'our' like 'are'.
Jan 5, 2008. 7:10 PMDoctor What says:
Are you from the south?? I know my cousins from Arkansas kinda do that.
Jan 5, 2008. 7:32 PMBran says:
Born and raised, proud to be from Georgia. You?
Jan 5, 2008. 7:34 PMDoctor What says:
Washington. Where a bunch of Arkies moved to so they could pick apples. (Not being prejudiced here, that is the truth, my step-dad's family moved here so they could pick apples)
Jan 5, 2008. 7:35 PMDoctor What says:
A long, long, time ago.
Jan 5, 2008. 7:19 PMzachninme says:
He is, dontcha remember, "Redneckoreo" !?

Yeah, that's a southern accent.
(the above line was said in a southern accent)
Jan 6, 2008. 4:16 AMTool Using Animal says:
It was a better handle too. Altoids, what happens to left over nibs of school chalk.
Jan 5, 2008. 2:54 PMjessyratfink says:
Oh, the chocolate dipped ones are like a party in my mouth! They make me so happy. I try to stay away from them, though... I eat a whole tin in a day if I get them. :P
Jan 5, 2008. 7:04 PMzachninme says:
Thats... an interesting response... Are they that good? Aren't they... painful once the chocolate melts?
Jun 21, 2008. 7:03 PMjessyratfink says:
No, silly! I mean, yeah, they're a little strong but they won't kill you. (Or your tastebuds.)
