Frequently Asked Questions
Will one piece really freshen my breath before a meeting or client call?
Yes. ALTOIDS are formulated to be curiously strong, so a single piece is typically enough to leave a noticeable peppermint freshness through a 30 to 60 minute meeting.
Does the tin fit in a desk drawer without taking up much space?
Yes. The tin is roughly 0.8 x 4.5 x 6.55 inches, so it slides into a pencil drawer, a desk organizer, or a small office tray with room to spare.
Can I keep one tin at my desk and one in my car or laptop bag?
Yes. The two-pack format is designed exactly for that kind of split setup, so you always have a backup tin within reach during a busy workday.
Will the hinged lid hold up to daily opening and closing in an office?
Yes. The metal tin has a sturdy hinged lid that snaps shut, which keeps the mints from spilling into your bag and protects them from being crushed under other items.
Is the flavor too strong for use right before a virtual meeting on camera?
No. Peppermint actually helps clear the throat and sharpen your voice, and because the flavor dissipates within a few minutes, it will not linger on a video call.
Is this a good on-the-go solution for my commute and workday?
Yes. The compact tin slips into a coat pocket, briefcase, or commuter bag so you can use one mint after coffee, lunch, or a ride-share before walking into a meeting.
Will the resealable tin stop mints from going stale in a shared workspace?
Yes. The airtight metal lid keeps moisture out and flavor in, which is a major advantage over soft paper or plastic mint packs that open and close throughout the day.
Is the peppermint strong enough to mask coffee or lunch breath?
Yes. The strong peppermint profile is one of the main reasons office users keep ALTOIDS at their desk, since it is more effective at covering food and coffee odors than milder candies.
Can I use this as a quick focus ritual between deep work blocks?
Yes. Many people pair a single ALTOID with a glass of water as a short reset between tasks, since the sharp peppermint flavor is a strong sensory cue to refocus.
Will it be obvious if I pop one during a client-facing meeting?
No. The pieces are small and dissolve quickly, and because one piece is all you need, you can discreetly use one before walking into a room rather than mid-conversation.
Is the flavor too intense compared to a milder mint like Tic Tacs?
If you prefer a softer mint, ALTOIDS will taste stronger, but most buyers say that is exactly why they choose ALTOIDS for important work moments over weaker alternatives.
How does this compare to chewing gum for use in the office?
Unlike gum, mints are polite in meetings, leave no wrapper mess on a desk, and do not require disposal, which is why many professionals prefer them in client-facing settings.
Are the tins clearly labeled so I can tell them apart from a coworker's?
Yes. The iconic embossed ALTOIDS tin is instantly recognizable, but the two-pack means you can keep one tin at your personal desk and one in a shared space to avoid mix-ups.
Will the tin scratch or damage the inside of my laptop bag?
No. The smooth metal tin is designed to be carried in pockets and bags, and the hinged lid keeps the mints contained so loose pieces do not scratch electronics or paperwork.
What if I only need mints occasionally for big meetings, not every day?
The two-pack lasts a long time because most people only need one piece per use, so even occasional meeting use can stretch a single tin across many weeks.
Is the strong flavor going to be distracting during focused, quiet work?
For most people, no. A single ALTOID dissolves in a few minutes, after which the flavor fades, so it is less distracting than a long-lasting mint or a piece of gum.
How do I open the tin and reseal it without spilling mints everywhere?
Press up on the front edge of the hinged lid with your thumb to pop it open, tip the tin slightly to pour out a single piece, then snap the lid back down until it clicks into place.
How should I store the tins to keep the mints fresh?
Keep the tins sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and they will stay fresh for a long time. Once opened, always close the lid firmly after each use.
What is the best way to refill or reuse the tin once it is empty?
Simply wash the empty tin with warm water, dry it thoroughly, and refill it with fresh mints or repurpose it as a small container for items like earbuds, paper clips, or travel-size first aid supplies.
Will the tins fit in standard cup holders and car door pockets?
Yes. At roughly 0.8 x 4.5 x 6.55 inches, the tin slips into most car cup holders, center console trays, and door pockets without protruding or tipping out.
Are the tins safe to keep in a purse alongside keys and other small items?
Yes. The rigid metal tin protects the mints from being crushed and prevents loose pieces from scratching a phone screen or tangling with keys and coins.
What exactly comes in the box when I order this product?
Each order includes two individual 1.76 oz ALTOIDS Peppermint Mints tins with hinged lids, totaling 3.52 oz of candy, packaged in a simple cardboard sleeve.
Is this product safe for people with common food allergies?
ALTOIDS Peppermint Mints are a simple peppermint candy, but ingredients and manufacturing details can change, so always read the current package label if you have a specific allergy concern.
How long does an unopened tin typically stay fresh?
An unopened tin has a best-by date printed on the package, and the airtight metal seal is designed to preserve the flavor and crunch well beyond opening when the lid is closed after each use.
What is the difference between peppermint mints and chewing gum for freshening breath?
Peppermint mints dissolve on the tongue and leave a clean, residue-free finish, while gum requires chewing, can dry out your mouth, and produces waste that has to be disposed of, which is why many people prefer mints in meetings and on the go.
