Thin Minty Pics

Would you like to sample some pictures? Fun comments included!

I saw this during Girl Scout Cookie season, and got a good laugh out of it. Y'know, because the cookie is called Thin Mint. And these were like "Oh, yeah?! Well... We got THICK Mints!" Is that the same shade of green on the package? Is it wrong for me, as a mint-colored pony, to take sides on this? I like your Minty no matter what size it is, thick or thin.




Hahahaha! When you find your expensive, real, power tool in the garage has been chewed to pieces, you'll have only yourself to blame.


This Snoopy Team has my colors! Have I been on Team Snoopy this whole time?!


That hug! What an odd choice to put that on the package, but it's so endearing I don't really care.


Ummmm..... There's only one roller skate in this package. Is that all you need? Who buys only one roller skate?!


That Transformer has the Autobot Matrix of Leadership right in the middle of his sword. Yikes. If I was a Decepticon, I would be terrified of that thing. It's gotta be mega powerful. Wheelie with the slingshot? Not so much. Although Wheelie is riding on a dinosaur, so that's a little better.


Pickle and potato chips pizza?! Sounds amazing! Though, I'm not a fan of Ranch dressing, which they use for the pizza sauce. Bummer. Notice they don't use the word "pizza" on the box, so nobody can argue about it.


The finale challenge of the season of Lego Masters TV show was supposed to award the winning team with their build being made into a real set. This is not exactly what they built, but still kind of neat to see.


Why did I find the term "handcrafted" odd to use on Espresso? You never actually touch the thing. Crafted, sure. But hand-crafted? Not so sure.


Way to use that empty space for advertising! Why don't all tables, everywhere, have ads on them? I'm trying to be funny, but that falls under the realm of "be careful what you joke about"...


Shout out to the amazing Nether Flame Sauce! For the Minecraft Movie promotion, McDonald's had a new McNugget sauce. It's hot. Like, a good hot. I'll miss it when it's gone.


Ha! Remember when you were a kid and got Happy Meals? Now that you are grown up, you kinda miss it? McDonald's has got you! Get a free toy, oops, I meant collectible, in your Combo, not Happy, Meal!


What a fun thing Gyrados is. If you don't know, you have to use a worthless, almost comedy, Magicarp fish. For a loooong time. All the Magicarp does is flop around helplessly. And you have to waste a turn swapping in a real Pokemon to actually fight. But... eventually it turns into the mighty Gyrados. What subtle lessons that game taught so many kids.


This is cool that they made the old tiny Transformer into a huge, much more detailed version. But I think I still prefer the tiny version. Sometimes simple is better.


This is a not-Transformer robot I saw at a Five Below. Did you see the name they gave it? Let's all say it together... "GET TO THE CHOPPAH!"


What if... I'm trying to write a book. Does that count as a job? Maybe not until it gets published. So technically AI CAN steal my not-job. Or my not-yet job. Am I being too literal? Or not enough? As I hear the screams of my family say "Get a job!"


There's a dragon in the game Genshin Impact named Dvalin, it's basically the boss fight of the first area. So, after you defeat it, it decided to make little pudding cups.


We all know Popeye got his strength from spinach, but Joan of Arc? Butter beans? Is that a thing?


Check out the crazy art deco Tie Interceptor! Funky!


Pop quiz! Can you name all 15 beans in the 15-bean soup? Answers on the back!


I forgot what the name of this old movie was that I was watching on Svengoolie, but this is some kind of space alien. Yeah, he was wearing a vest that had a snorting bull on the back of it! It was so funny I had to get a picture of it. Bulls in space!


From the side it looks like more of a generic space outfit. Was nobody paying attention to details, of any kind, back in those days? It's a space guy.... whatever!


I saw this figure before Wrestlemania, where Bianca Belair was in the title match. I thought it was a spoiler because the figure came with the actual belt and all, but it turns out, she did not win! So... They tricked me? Is that cool, or not-cool?


How many times do you see pets in the shopping carts? All the time, right? Those same carts that you use to put your groceries in? That's why.


I found it interesting to see this display of playing cards, with one empty spot. Which thing was popular enough to be sold out? So I grabbed a picture so I could check other stores, and figure out what it was.


Ouch. Is there a Pokemon game I have not played yet? I don't recognize ANY of these! I know there's a thousand Pokemon at this point, but seriously don't remember any of these.


We've all seen the Star Wars Battle Droids take prisoners. But the Clone Troopers? Don't they always just blast the droids? Did Lego watch the movies? Eh, it's cute. They get a pass on it.
