Altoids Case
Altoids are a brand of breath mints that have existed since the 18th century. The brand had experience of being at the top when they held the position of the top-selling breath freshener in 1998. The company was quickly replaced when Listerine introduced their line of PocketPak breath strips.

This can enable Altoids users to identify themselves within each or just one of the characters. This allows
