Uh-oh




I just ate an entire tin of these at my desk. The whole thing. Christ.

I've long looked askance at them in grocery lines. They seem like a good idea, but the combination of chocolate and curiously strong mint reminds me of the scene in "American Psycho" where he gets the fancy restaurant to cover a urinal cake in chocolate and serve it to his girlfriend as a special dessert. And I hate even thinking about "American Psycho." But today, I don't know, the cinnamon one looked kind of good and sounded less urinal-cake-y. And now the entire tin is gone.

So be warned: These are kind of good.

This makes my brain hurt. Are they just normal Altoids dipped in chocolate? Like a minty, chalky M&M? I'm afraid the urinal cake juxtaposition may not be helping...

Yeah, they're just normal Altoids, in darkish chocolate. They're better if you crunch them, which makes it easy to eat a whole tin (see, it's not my fault!). I don't think the peppermint ones would be good.
