Fisherman’s Friend normally comes in paper packaging. The lozenges used to be and can still occasionally be bought in a reusable Fishermans Friend Tin.

Since Fisherman’s Friend lozenges were initially created so that fishermen could carry them out to sea, the metal packaging served to protect the lozenges from water.

Today, the Fishermans Friend tin is a collector’s item.

For lovers of Fishermans Friend, like me, who carry their Fisherman’s Friends everywhere, these tins can be refilled with lozenges from the regular paper packaging more common today. 

This is what a Fishermans Friend tin looks like:

When I “pack” my handbag before I go out every day, I recite a list of items that I want to be sure not to forget.

Without going into too many details, my current recitation goes: phone, money, swipe…(insert a few more items here that include a small tin of petroleum jelly 🙂 )… mints, camera.

I am sure you can understand why I carry items such as my phone and money, but an item like mints—and Fisherman’s Friend mints at that—may baffle you a bit (as it has people who’ve seen me put my bag together in the past).

Why Mints?

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your breath is acting up but you cannot avoid close contact with someone?

I am not trying to be naughty here at all (at least not yet 😉 ).

I really am referring to mundane everyday situations such as having to confer closely with a co-worker after a particularly spicy lunch, or having to talk to someone who’s seated very close to you (as in at a bar or the theater), when you haven’t had anything to eat in a while.

There are countless situations like these. I am sure you can easily come up with a couple yourself.

(And then yes, there are those situations when close-contact includes a lot more than talking 😉 ).

Whatever the case, until your breath is back in order, or until the close-contact situation has come to an end, if you are anything like me, you find yourself in your own little personal hell.
