Does anyone know where in the US I can get Penguin Mints (the black peppercorn ones). The reason is that I want to start a DIY project, and I like those cases better than the Altoids ones? Are there any stores that sell them?

You can also get them at http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/candy/ if you wanted to buy individual cases.

If you live near a Cost Plus world market, try looking there. Besides penguins, they also stock various other candies in cool tins.

noooooo!!! I just went to their website and it appears they are no longer producing the decaffinated mints. Those one's came in the nicest tin, it was a soft blue lavender colour.

I think now I may buy some penguin gum though...

One has a penguin, the other doesn't?

 

[Oistrakh]

so they don't sell Penguin mints at pharmacy places like CVS or Walgreens?

chances are they do. look around for a bit before ordering online, I was convinced berkley mints could only be found in the US, and ordered them online. A week later I saw them on campus at the cafeteria.

penguins have a much smoother tone overall, i think it's the metal. Altoids tend to be harsher and a tad too much emphasis on the highs. To remedy this, just sprinkle a bid of cinammon dust to counter the highs, and spearmint dust to make a smoother sound, and wintergreen dust to give it more dynamics.
