Altoids are a series of candy and
mints manufactured by Callard & Bowser (a UK company). The mints were originally sold in small rectangular
tins with the
tagline: 'Curiously Strong
Mints.'After the mints became very popular, Altoids has now created a range of sour gum and sour mints. Altoids also has another drawing power: the packaging. Each packet of Altoids comes in a small tin or round tin all of which are designed in clever and pleasing ways.
Also offering someone an
Altoid, in some social circles is in fact an offer for them to partake in an act of oral sex!
