I suspected that snorting Altoids was a bad idea.
This article comfirms it.
However sniffing peppermint may have beneficial effects according to
this article. The jury is still out on that one, but I think I'll look for one a' dem peppermint inhalers the next time I step into a health food or vitamin supplement shoppe. I'll likely have to order this online, though.

blah.
Friday night, while on the phone with Jana, I decided to try something that had occurred to me in the past few weeks, but which I hadn't yet tried. I bought a two-pack of Altoids Peppermints from Pathmark. They're presently priced at $2.99. The price there, jumps back and forth from $2.99 to $3.49 plus tax. They don't sell the single tin, as far as I can tell. Anywho, whilst on the phone, I empty the two tins into the food processor and grind them into dust. I pour the powder into a plastic container take two teaspoonfuls... mmmm, and put the rest away till later. Maybe I sampled one or more spoonfuls while on the phone. I was on the phone for a little while.
Oddly enough, the powdered Altoids lasted me till Sunday night, when I took the last half-spoonful and topped my frozen yogurt with it. As stated before, I can consume two or more tins in the course of a day.
Powdered Altoids don't linger as long in your mouth, so there's much less pleasure in eating them this way. Also, I was initially more aware of the sugar content than I normally am, or at least I felt I was. I still enjoyed eating them this way, though I obviously felt less compelled to eat as much as I usually do.
On Monday (yesterday) morning I went to Pathmark on my way to work, to purchase Altoids and decided I did not actually feel like having any and walked out of the store empty handed. I wonder what that means? Not much. I got a two pack this morning and polished them off just after five pm. Not a record for speed nor duration, so perhaps I'm back to normal.
I wonder if snorting peppermint is a good idea?????
