Altoids are a popular brand of breath mints that have existed since the turn of the 19th century. Altoids are produced in Britain by Callard & Bowser-Suchard at Bridgend, Wales, although Wrigley announced in mid 2005 they planned to move Altoids production to an existing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee in order to manufacture its products closer to where they are sold. The move is expected to be complete by mid-2006. The history of Altoids actually dates back to the reign of King George III. The brand was created by a London-based Smith & Company in the 1780s but eventually became part of the Callard & Bowser company in the 1800s. They are still advertised as "The Original Celebrated Curiously Strong Peppermints".
Altoids come in small tins that many find handy for a variety of uses, including storage of small paraphernalia. Some report that an Altoids tin can be fashioned to be used as an emergency camping stove. They have also been used to create pinhole cameras, house small amateur radios, geocaches, MP3 players, cases for the Zen Micro and even iPod battery packs. Also a great use for Altoids tins is containers for small (and quite complete) mini survival kits.
The story of Altoids can be found on thin pieces of paper that come inside of certain tins.
Yes, we finally decided to jump on the Altoid Tin Bandwagon!
We couldn't help it! We hope that you will enjoy the experience! Bring your own Pen/Pencil. Some bushwacking required. Cache is aprox. 405 feet from "Del Poniente Trail .5 mile marker". "Easy Cache" #GCHEEW is close by. Bring several cachers or the whole family to enhance your Altoid pleasure!
Watch for the hive of bees about six feet south of the cache. SL. Thanks for the fun and the cache!
