That Bush dinner in Japan may have been the "funniest Presidential dinner of all time" to you, but it wasn't very amusing for the Bushes! But on a happier note, as a child I always loved butter mints--they were a real treat. My sisters and I would buy them for our little "parties." We liked the package that had the mints in various pastel colors. And no, they didn't make my teeth feel strange--they were nice and sweet and melted in your mouth. I haven't had them in years, but now I'll have to look for them!

I forgot they came in pastels! The Minted Nuts reminded me of them a little (though the Nuts were not melt-in-your mouth and tasted more like old toothpaste). I may revisit butter mints (also called ‘funeral mints’ by a TikTok follower today, hadn’t heard that).
