Associative Bad Taste

[michaelboy]

When we were young, my mom carried a roll of them in her purse. They were intended to keep us quiet during shows, presentations, church, etc.

Usually on a Sunday in church, she would shove one of these at my sisters or me when we couldn't help from giggling over a joke, shrill singing or the crude cartoons we drew on the bulletin.

Imagine getting up earlier than you really wanted - putting on plastic-soled Pic-Way shoes and clothes that weren't at all comfortable, and trying on an empty-sleepy stomach, to ingest something that smelled and tasted like a napthalene mothball or urinal cake.

I like WinterGreen just fine, but please, please: no Cryst-O-Mints for me.

LOL. I always used to carry a part eaten roll of sugar free polos for the same reason. It sustained my child for 6 miles of hiking after an accidental wrong turn on one occasion. Poor kid...
