SMINTS!

Smints are back!!!! Holy cow!!!

I have been looking for these wonderful, tiny, little mints for like two years now, unsuccessfully.

We were just at the "vacation" Strack's and while standing in the check-out lane, I turned my head, and what did I see...?

SMINTS!!!!

For those of you who are not familiar with Smints, they are teeny-tiny little mints that have a lot of flavor. But it isn't an overwhelming flavor like Altoids.

Try some today!!!
