I didn't think I'd get addicted

The first time I tried it - WOW! What a rush! I was nearly gasping for breath. Like most people's first time, I didn't buy it myself, a friend gave it to me to try. I thought it was too intense and I didn't think I'd do it again. Then, at a party, another guy I knew gave me some more. I handled it a little better that time. I liked it.

I wasn't planning on buying it myself, but one day I was somewhere where I could get some, so I bought some for myself.

Now I'm buying regularly, I keep some in the car and some at the house so it's always right there when I want some. When I start to run low I start thinking that I better get some more.

Damn evil Altoids!

I read it wondering why the lock-happy mods hadn't done their trick... then the punchline :)

Agreed. One of my friends that used to smoke a lot of weed had one of the gift tins at his house. I guess after he smoked, he liked to get that minty fresh feeling and rot his teeth at the same time.

If I've ever wanted to make one of those Russia comments ... it's right now

I agree, very addictive.

The hardest part? I live in the UK and can't get anything but the mint variety.

The Irony? All Altoids are made in the UK...

I have giant 10 oz. tins of Peppermint and Cinammon Altoids on my desk. Needless to say, I get a lot of visitors throughout the day.

altoids are a gateway mint, i need something stronger now, i'm completely hooked on listerine pocket packs.
