Altoids
... Altoids. ... I decided that I needed to do a little research on these things called “Altoids.” A visit to the historic Bancroft Library at the campus of University of California Berkeley yielded that Altoids were a kind of primitive treat developed by the ancient civilization of Great Britain, and consumed by persons all over many parts of the world. Altoids were apparently a type of confection called a “mint”; after researching extensively, I learned that in the early twenty-first century, the mint industry was rapidly growing, and that there was a multitude of mint brands available. ... The front of the Altoids container was lined with red trim along its edges in what appeared to be some sort of aesthetically pleasing design. It had a picture of the ‘Mentha Piperita’ plant, where I discovered that peppermint oil (an ingredient in Altoids) was derived from.
