A new way to skip the coffee

Asahi Mintia Dry Hard Mints

What is it?
Asahi's MINTIA line of tic tac-sized breathe mints truly pack a punch.  The entire line is a best seller in Japan, but the "Dry Hard" version deserves its own ranking.  Each little "tablet" packs a bitter mint punch that's chokingly strong.
And, beneath all that is a kick of caffeine! How much? It's hard to determine... I've not a clue. The exact amount of caffeine included in each "tablet" isn't listed on the case, nor on their website. I can, however, attest to MINTIA's capacity to let me skip my biggest addiction: COFFEE!  How strong? If compared to an Altoids Small, I'd guess it's about 50% stronger in the "mint" category.  The caffeine?  I'd say about 5 tablets "feels" like a good solid cup of coffee.

The case is absolutely ingenious.  Unlike other products, this one doesn't open in my bag and spread mint-dust on everything it touches. When this little case snaps shut, it's shut!

From the Asahi Website, Dry Hard is intended for the caffeinated mint heavy-user.

Where can you get one?
That Asahi Dry Hard Mint is available in most convenience stores across Japan.  It can also be ordered online.

From Asahi?
Yep!  This is the same company that produces one of the finest beers known to mankind: Asahi Super Dry.  From my experience, wherever you see the Asahi logo, you can be assured of quality.  Asahi's MINTIA line is no exception.
