Altoids are a popular brand of mints originally created in England during the late 18th century. Known for their intense flavor and compact tin packaging, Altoids are marketed as "The Original Celebrated Curiously Strong Mints." They typically consist of sugar, natural and artificial flavors, gelatin, and occasionally sorbitol depending on the variety. Their strong, aromatic taste comes from peppermint, spearmint, or other essential oils. Altoids are primarily enjoyed for freshening breath, making them a staple in Western cuisine and oral hygiene practices. While they offer a convenient, low-calorie option for breath freshening, their sugar content can contribute to tooth decay if consumed excessively. Sugar-free variations provide a healthier alternative for those concerned about dental health or caloric intake. Though Altoids are not a significant source of nutrients, their unique intensity and portability make them a favorite treat worldwide.
