If you go around in the middle of the night and blast rap music from your tricked out 1985 Toyota Tercel hatchback from some shitty rapper who only raps about how awesome he is, you are a douchebag and these mints might be meant for you.  If your name starts with an S and ends with a pencer Pratt or starts with an H and ends with eidi Montag and you charge thousands of dollars to show up at some club, you are a douchebag and I hope you choke on these mints.<\/p>\n<p>There really isn&#8217;t anything special about the Spearmint Pure Mints themselves.  Each mint is quite small, which is something I don&#8217;t like because I feel that I need to take more than one to freshen my breath.  To give you an idea of how small they are, it would take three or four of them to equal the mass of one curiously-strong Altoid.  I also didn&#8217;t like how minty they were.  On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being a slap to the face and 1 being a tickling of my beard, these mints were a 5.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/puremints02.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The only thing the Spearmint Pure Mints have going for themselves is the mirror under the mint tin&#8217;s lid.  Unfortunately, the mirror is small, so if you&#8217;re a really big douchebag, you won&#8217;t be able to see much in it since your ego is probably taking most of the space.  Even at arms length, I couldn&#8217;t see my entire face.  It&#8217;s so ineffective that it probably won&#8217;t do you any good if you&#8217;re doing something practical like trying to put on makeup or signaling someone using Morse code.  I think the mirror is only good for looking to see if you have something in between your teeth or a booger hanging out of your nose.<\/p>\n<p>Besides douchebags, I&#8217;m not sure if the Spearmint Pure Mints would be appropriate for others.  The one thing I know for sure is that if you&#8217;re a douchebag wanting to cover the stank of douchebagness, these mints won&#8217;t do it, because a douchebag with fresh breath is still a douchebag. <\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Spearmint Pure Mints<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $1.48<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 0.28 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Longs Drugs<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  There&#8217;s a mutha fuckin&#8217; mirror inside.
