Curiously Strong, and Curiously Different.
My package from the Altoids people showed up today.
I was having problems finding Spearmint Altoids here in Adrian. So I went online to order some and found out that there are two new (at least to me) flavors out there. I have had the sours (and am unimpressed), but the idea of Ginger and Liqourice (their spelling, not mine) intrigued me enough to order some to sample.
All I can say is: Very Curiously Strong! I am a big fan of ginger, and a little less so of licorice, but I really like both of these. The ginger is pretty damn hot, and the Liquorice is strongly cooling. I am not certain that either make for a suitable breath mint, but they are pretty tasty.
I wonder what is next? Cloves?

One desk in my office is full of old Altoids tins. My favorite is Wintergreen, but I really like the Liquorice, too. The tangerine ones were not fair - I polished those off in about a 1/2 hour. I can't afford to buy those again.
