Still Very Broken...Seth's Blog

For me and my more spartan lifestyle, the most frustrating design I can think of at the moment is that of the Mynthon mint sweets/breath fresheners. A smoker's must-have, naturally you are not going to eat an entire packet in one go, so the box contains a lid which is supposed to click shut. However being made of flimsy cardboard and in general badly designed, it's only a matter of time before a mint explosion goes off in your pocket, leaving the shrapnel of more or less all of the mints, coated in dust and bits of crap that lurk in the pockets of even the most particular of folks, and thus inedible (washing in water just has the effect of reducing them in size, then sticking together in on glutinous morass once dried)...

...but any way I'll be avoiding a Subaru for the time being.
