OK, so who was it who was looking for Ginger Altoids in the game, and did you find any? I found some tonight, and bought an extra in case whomever it was still wanted it. Let me know….

That would have been Selva… and I believe she did manage to track some down.

They still haven’t heard of them in Ohio. I am resigning myself to untrendy breath (currently cheddar chex snack mix).

Like I said, Loli, I have a spare and could get more — drop me a line if you’d like ‘em.

I still have this one tin I need to send to Loli, but true to nature I still haven’t gotten down to the post office!

capo: I’m near San Jose, CA: come on down! (And ignore the lingering winter rains…) Seriously, first email responder gets the tin, I’ll mail it (almost) anywhere. (Non-US postage may be a bit too high, though.)

I might could get more… are you interested, if I can? (Which I probably can.) There’s this thing called email…. ;-)

Yay! They arrived today! I now have the spicy-freshest (and trendiest) breath in the midwest, thanks to Eleanor.

Selva just gave me another box! Mmm! Sweet and hot…

They sell Ginger Altoids at Trader Joe’s. That’s where I get mine, and they’re great! May I also recommend Velamints’ Vanilla mint. Soo good! :o)

Did you notice that the Altoids company make those dissolving strips now? We should petition for a ginger variety!

HELP! There are NO Ginger Altoids in the state of Florida!
Can anyone help me out here? I’ll send you a check, wait for it to clear, or maybe use PayPal.

Kaye, you can always see if your pharmacist would be willing to dispense your medication in ginger-flavor. :)

you can order them from http://www.clorders.com/altoids/shoppe.html, $1.99 / tin. it looks like if you buy 10 or more shipping is free, not sure though.
