Minty fresh
8.24.2006 7:38 PM \| Link	When I'm trying not to stuff my face in front of the TV, one of the things that helps is munching on powerful mints! Mints generally are only a calorie or two a piece, they last a long time because you have to suck them, and the flavor is so strong that it helps my sweet tooth (even though most mints are sugar-free). Lately I've really been into trying different mints, and I've been cycling through three kinds. I think I like Eclipse Mints the best, because they have a great balance between super-mint and sweetness. They come in a cool metal case with a hinged lid, that strangely enough works as case for Nintendo DS games! Next, I like several flavors of Wrigley's Doublemint Twins. These have a kind of sweet coating around the minty inside - they are a little too sweet, but still great, and they come in a spiffy plastic case with a flip-top. Finally, I like to eat Altoids Smalls every now and then. These are just like regular Altoids, but they are so small (just a tiny little square) that I can handle them. They have an unusual half metal/half plastic case with a sliding lid. I think it's interesting that all of these have such creative packaging - I think that's part of the fun for me! If I could cure my munching addiction with mints 100% of the time, I would have nothing to worry about, so I hope these healthy candies keep me satisfied.
