Anyone need a mint?

I was checking out this store in my new town that is like an old timey country store that boasted this like various cured meats, homemade candies, and over 40 kinds of root beer. I wanted to check it out since I have a bit of a sweet tooth. Plus that place always seemed busy. I looked around the licorice section and what did I see? But a crazy NES controller tin staring at me. I said, "Whoa what the hell is this?" the shop keep said "Boy dontcha know? They make these mints shaped like a nintendo control!"

Seriously...

I had a tin of those, I actually enjoyed the taste. Can't think of any good projects for them though...

NES controller in a fake-Altoids tin designed to look like a NES controller?

Ah Bicostp, you haven't changed a bit. I actually got my tin at the Nintendo World Store (Which had some Kickass Prototypes on display.).

I guess you could use it as a case if your original NES controller busted and you wanted to spruce it up a bit. Maybe add a WII controller guts to it like for the classic controller.....

Hmmm.....

Its very good. I actually met the creator of that "Bob's Game" when I went up there. He's actually doing pretty good, not as crazy as I thought he would be after that incident with the trashing his office. But, they have some pretty good games there, aswell as some pretty cool prototypes, such as a NES with keyboard and disk drive, and some other pretty cool stuff.
