Altoids are an intensely flavored candy mint. The tins are about 2"x3"x1/2" and are handy for lots of little things. I keep my yarn needles, stitch markers and row counters in one with my favorite knitting tote. And there are lots of small lace tools that fit also. It is also a good replacement when a plastic pin box breaks.

Probably the use wasn't on this list because, it had been, I'd have asked what they were then. I assume you are in the US - you give no indication of where you are in the world. It helps if we at least know the country a poster is in because of things being called by different names.
