Whatever happened to these anyway? I remember those leaving my life as quickly as they had entered it when I was little

These are never more than an arms reach away from me. Superior mint format for breath enhancement imo.
Great for freshening up your buttcrack too
Whatever floats your boat or something lol
May have to try that. Actually I've had an altoid BJ before - these would probably be a good alternative and lower the choking risk. Should really get an ad-man on this.
For when you're feeling "not so fresh" down there.
But how does your butt have the moisture to melt these? How much do you sweat?
What do you call them? Trying to find any information on them. And it's weird to keep referring to these gum-mints as "these" and "them" :D
From memory: mint fresh strips
Googling....
Yup, advertising works
"Breath freshening strips", I'm fairly sure? "Listerine Breath Strip" should get you at least started.
They still exist
Haven't seen these in more than a decade here in Germany
Looks like you can grab a pack of 12 for....€28.39...on Amazon.de! What a bargain
what are they even? it looks like a plastic sheet dispenser but from the COOL MINT i can only guess it's some sort of mint-flavoured gelatin sheets or something?
You got it pretty dead on.
It's a mint sheet, dissolves on the tongue and freshens breath. They were a fairly popular novelty when they first came out, advertised as a quicker alternative to a mint candy or gum.
gods menthol enjoyers are out of their minds, regular mint gum is already bad enough!
They're mint tabs. I had one before, they're pretty potent.
Great idea, except that the only thing they'll do is dissolve in the contact solution...
Nobody is putting in contacts dry. Even the psychos back away when you try.
Sounds like something we'd do on ecstasy as kids.
I had people at high school who did this regularly.
Same crowd than snorted sherbet when we made it, put hot glue in their hands to see who could hold it longer... did the same thing with metal rulers and bunsen burners.
Didn't see any of them graduate for some reason.
They were all glued and melted to the tables in the chemistry lab.
.... Oral sex aid.
Just saying...
Wait, was I supposed to be using them for something else?
Have you ever seen contact lenses?
One drop of LSD on each tab
Oh man, I had forgotten about this... We had this ex hippy visual basics teacher in high school... And our class was awful to her... I don't think I contributed much but we were little shits. I am not proud...but anyway one day the stoner kid walks in and has these and is like, 'look miss acid!' she freaked the fuck out and snatches them and is like smelling them... The whole time we're like 'miss if that's acid... You're about to have an eventful Wednesday with the way you're handling them.'
She eventually had a break down... I'm not sure we were directly the reason, but there's no way we weren't a contribution... That class was wild. But yeah some admin person showed up and asked us 'did she say anything when she left on Friday?' apparently she noped the fuck out and went surfing in Hawaii... I hope she's doing okay.
Nice wastage satan :)
