Altoids

Curiously strong mints

Altoids is a brand of small, intensely flavored breath mints sold in distinctive metal tins.

The peppermint variety dominates, though other flavors exist.

Their slogan "curiously strong mints" emphasizes the sharp taste.

The hinged tin has become iconic, often repurposed for storing small items: I keep guitar picks in an old Altoids tin.
