Odd or interesting mint tins

[MrDralixx]

I'm loving that ouija tin! And I'd be more than willing to trade a Ginger tin for one (I've got 2 sealed Ginger tins). I'd purchase one, but I'm pretty sure I've bought enough "gadget crap" as my wife puts it, for a while.

Besides a couple of Ginger tins, I have these an original style and a comment type one. Wasn't aware there was some really cool ones out there until I saw that. Now I'm reconsidering. lol

Looks like the top half of the Ouija tin sits a little further down than the Altoids...

But the lower halves are the same size! Should work perfectly!

Another plus - the mints came in a bag! While I will miss the tin smelling of mints, I don't have to worry about that pesky sugary dust all over the place!

Even the mints are spooky! Tiny ouija planchettes!

Now I just need all black 3D printed parts from Wermy, and another batch of electronics from Helder! (And the sound card.... coming on a slow boat from Shenzen)

In Morrisons right now! (Wish you could get other flavours in the UK)

[abrugsch]

Both old and new style tins?
(i wish I had a morrisons usefully close to me...

[Holydohnut]

Yeah. They had one box full of the old style tins, and loads of the new. I was a bit torn really. I love the lid of the old style one, but I have to admit that the white painted base has been a nightmare from a build perspective! It's far too easily scratched!

[Holydohnut]

Ooooooh! I wonder if this is the same size?

"From chemists only"... lol. no wonder they're hard to find!

That's cool! Even if it doesn't work, it would be awesome to keep on a desk.

You should contact the seller and see if it's the same size.

I'm now getting a bit obsessed with discovering new tin options. That Batman tin some chap found blew my mind!

Found these in store today. If you're in the UK, Marks and Spencer do a BLATANT rip off of Altoids, and the tin is identical.

It's no Batman tin, but Morrisons is about the only other place in the UK you can get the tins, and not everyone has a Morrisons close by.

Did I mention I want a batman tin?
