I cannot get enough of Japanese mints. While they may have slowed a bit in the high-tech race, they are lightyears ahead of us in culinary arts, particularly breathmints. This is no surprise, giving Japanese sensitivities to smell. The picture shows Cool Shock mint film, already being copied by Listerine (wait a minute, I thought it was the Yanks who innovate ad the Japanese who copy??). It gives a good jolt of mint, and helps one to avoid the guilt felt when they chew a mint rather than let it dissolve in their mouths.
