I thought it was a passing fancy (or halitosis)

But after God knows how many years, I still enjoy a good Altoid every now and again. Something about the feel of the tin. So classy. So retro. The paper inside. The non-uniform mint shapes that make you think that maybe -- just maybe -- they came from a real confectioner.

Never has tacitly admitting you have bad breath felt so classy.
