Ah, Frisk Mints!

I had a Canadian manager who'd bring those back from trips to see their family in BC. Very good, and addictive.

There was a whole mess of strong mints in complicated 'Japanese-style' packaging back in the late 1990's.

Actually, the idea behind the marketing is that for meeting a girl, take one mint, but if you're meeting "God," take two.

Never have I had such difficulty getting out a mint as I have since someone decided to change your packaging. It is so frustrating that I have stopped buying Frisks which is a real shame because I like them. Have you any explaination for this? I cannot be the only person in the world that is questioning your decision to make this change. Unbelievable.

My change? I'm not responsible for the packaging of Frisk mints or anything else Frisk-related, I'm afraid.

Out of curiosity, what did they change?
