    Default Disposable Mints :)

    I thought you guys might find this kinda funny, yet helpful at the same time. Make sure to note the bottom:

    The finished fixtures are easily stacked in a cabinet and will remain useful for future projects. An added benefit is that an otherwise discarded package is recycled. Besides, the mints may improve an engineer's social life.
