Whatever happened to these anyway? I remember those leaving my life as quickly as they had entered it when I was little

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago

These are never more than an arms reach away from me. Superior mint format for breath enhancement imo.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Great for freshening up your buttcrack too

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

Whatever floats your boat or something lol

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

May have to try that. Actually I've had an altoid BJ before - these would probably be a good alternative and lower the choking risk. Should really get an ad-man on this.

For when you're feeling "not so fresh" down there.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

But how does your butt have the moisture to melt these? How much do you sweat?

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

What do you call them? Trying to find any information on them. And it's weird to keep referring to these gum-mints as "these" and "them" :D

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

From memory: mint fresh strips

Googling....

Yup, advertising works

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

"Breath freshening strips", I'm fairly sure? "Listerine Breath Strip" should get you at least started.

Haven't seen these in more than a decade here in Germany

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like you can grab a pack of 12 for....€28.39...on Amazon.de! What a bargain

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 weeks ago

what are they even? it looks like a plastic sheet dispenser but from the COOL MINT i can only guess it's some sort of mint-flavoured gelatin sheets or something?

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago

You got it pretty dead on.

It's a mint sheet, dissolves on the tongue and freshens breath. They were a fairly popular novelty when they first came out, advertised as a quicker alternative to a mint candy or gum.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

gods menthol enjoyers are out of their minds, regular mint gum is already bad enough!

[-] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

They're mint tabs. I had one before, they're pretty potent.

Great idea, except that the only thing they'll do is dissolve in the contact solution...

Nobody is putting in contacts dry. Even the psychos back away when you try.

[-] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds like something we'd do on ecstasy as kids.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I had people at high school who did this regularly.

Same crowd than snorted sherbet when we made it, put hot glue in their hands to see who could hold it longer... did the same thing with metal rulers and bunsen burners.

Didn't see any of them graduate for some reason.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

They were all glued and melted to the tables in the chemistry lab.

[-] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

Have you ever seen contact lenses?

[-] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 weeks ago

.... Oral sex aid.

Just saying...

[-] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wait, was I supposed to be using them for something else?

[-] coffee_with_cream@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

One drop of LSD on each tab

[-] Qkall@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

Oh man, I had forgotten about this... We had this ex hippy visual basics teacher in high school... And our class was awful to her... I don't think I contributed much but we were little shits. I am not proud...but anyway one day the stoner kid walks in and has these and is like, 'look miss acid!' she freaked the fuck out and snatches them and is like smelling them... The whole time we're like 'miss if that's acid... You're about to have an eventful Wednesday with the way you're handling them.'

She eventually had a break down... I'm not sure we were directly the reason, but there's no way we weren't a contribution... That class was wild. But yeah some admin person showed up and asked us 'did she say anything when she left on Friday?' apparently she noped the fuck out and went surfing in Hawaii... I hope she's doing okay.
