I learned something useful last week at a voice workshop about Altoids. Apparently have menthol in them, and are thought to be not good for the vocal chords if you are singing or doing a lot of speaking, particularly public speaking.
This was from a ear, nose and throat specialist at Leahy clinic; the guy seemed to know his stuff. Just FYI, for what it's worth, and of course nothing at all to do with lace. And they **are** nice tins. ;-) Carolyn in Stow, MA USA > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Lorri Ferguson > Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2007 11:47 PM > To: Jean Nathan; Chat > Subject: Re: [lace-chat] Altoid tins > > Altoids are an intensely flavored candy mint.
