Altoids Tins - In Need Of, Please

[MissPrissy]

$3 for a tin of candy or $3 for a box of empty cans. I'd rather pay postage andnot eat the candy.

You can get em here:

a pack of 12 tins for $20. Not sure but the postage might be around $10 for that. $2.50 each.

you might be able to use the candy's to sweeten a dessert dish or give them away in zip lock baggies.

I don't want the cady or the gum.

I have to agree with you, the candy is awful, and I NEVER chew gum. Awful stuff.

OK OK - but I only buy those Altoid Sour's in the little plastic round container - LOVE THEM!

hubby keeps altoid mints in his car.

OH NO! You sanded off the rust. They were genuine antique rusty Altoid tins. You are banned from Antique Roadshow for life.

Hope they work out ok. I almost didn't send the rusty ones, but thought "what the heck, you can toss them if you don't want them. They are probably 20 years old- have been floating around the car with change in them forever. And if you don't like altoids give the ginger ones a shot. A little different.
You know if you let them sit around in our damp climate for a while, they get gummy.

ROTFL!!!! That does not sound real appetizing!!! I like the strong peppermint ones but rarely buy them. The tins are cute though with the hinged lid. Michaels sells some jazzy little tins in wildly painted colors, I think the lid is removable though, but they sell for about a buck, I've seen them at the checkout counter. Can't wait to see what gets made out of them!​

Here's a hint. Some have been painted pink. Some are being painted red.
