Altoids


Altoid mints are some of my favorite mints. As a kid I used to eat them all the time when I was in my Dad's car. The design of the package is what sets it apart from others. It comes in a tin can with a paper liner inside. It has that distinct style of opening the package that makes it different. To me, it is a lot of fun opening it and the excitement of when I open it is different than any others. After looking up information on the mints, I had never really realized that the mints were nearly 200 years old. It's amazing that they have been around so long. They also only had one variety, mints, until 2002 when they announced "Sours." It shows that companies can be successful with just one product.
