Altoids and stuff

Over the weekend, I bought a couple boxes of Altoids just because they were on display at the checkout counter. I NEVER buy candy for myself. I steal M&Ms from my wife or sometimes sneak a couple cookies. I am not really a sweets person. This afternoon, I opened one of the containers and to my surprise found a nutritional label on the back. I am a vegan leaning vegetarian. My wife hates going grocery shopping with me because I read labels. But even I could not really understand why Altoids need a label. They are pretty basic candy. And this "information" probably would not sway many consumers either to or not to buy this product. In fact, I would be VERY suspicious if mints had protein.

Anyway, today started the first full week back to work after the holidays. Rapidly getting back into the swing of commuting, working and living.
