Surely, this can’t be a coincidence.

    Altoids have been around since, like, 1790. Barkleys have been around since 1996. This is the first I’ve heard of them, and that’s likely because Altoids as a brand is almost as ubiquitous as the brand Velcro.

    I read that some folks find them to be much stronger, so I’ll have to look for some as well!

      Altoids as a name have been around a long time, but they have been just candy ever since Mars bought them. They aren’t even made or marketed in the UK anymore.

      I miss altoids.

          Yeah, they sadly are not curiously strong anymore. In fact not strong at all, more on the simply sweet peppermint now days.
