20 Pounds of Mints

Wint-O-Green Lifesavers A while ago, I participated in a little contest sponsored by the fine folks at Mint, and for some strange, cosmic reason, I was selected to be the recipient of 20 pounds of mints. I was trying to move, yet people still wanted to send me boxes. I’m not complaining, though; the mints came in the form of Wint-O-Green Life Savers.

Here is what 20 pounds of mints looks like, in addition to an unshaven, tired-from-moving-boxes Flexo.
