Altoids - Don't Stop Manufacturing These!

[jimbeaux]

These mints and (my favorite..ok..favourite)the chewing gum are rapidly rising as the choice over here. I don't know if it's the taste or the nice little tins they come in make them more conveinent or a novelty. These have sold here for as long as I can remember, but lately, their sales are rising fast. I see these things on almost everyone's desk. The UK needs to make certain that nobody "screws" with this formula. If it "ain't broke, don't fix it"! I see only the peppermint flavor is sold in the UK. A shame the gum and other flavors are only for export....why??

I prefer the peppermints myself but do like the sour apple chewing gum every once in a while...

I'll give those a go. In the article I posted, it stated that only the peppermint, and no gum, was available in the UK; the rest was only for export. I wonder why that is?
