Altoids

Hmm.

Couldn't smell the Altoids.

Oh, man.

[laughs] Stuck my nose in the box, and I couldn't smell a thing.

And mine was saving money.

pennies and quarters that I found on the street or like that I got in a lemonade stand in an Altoids tin so I could go see Annie the musical because once a theater kid always a theater I was

just gonna say that's so you

it was very me I was like and my parents told me you want to go see Annie you got to save your money now I'm like four or five I don't have an income source right but that was the whole practice of if you want something you have to save for it The interesting thing, though, is that financial education was so powerful.

And this, it almost looks like a tuna can.

What are those called? Those mint, those mints that come in the Altoids.

It looks like an Altoid tin.

You're wiggling your finger.

I also want to say there's maybe like a moment where maybe it's like after Pavi and Rust have had their conversation and like Rust is gathering up the rest of Knuckle Supper and they're all sort of like heading out.

And like maybe there were like, it was like a set of chairs or something and like a table.

And as they're all sort of getting up and leaving town, you can see that Rust has left that, the container, like little Altoids type of container empty.

uh on the table yeah and goes to like uh it's like oh geez he's leaving this and then she picks it up and she goes away but they're already like around the corner she's like do i have to run um she's just like absent-mindedly kind of flicks it open and there's another pill in there and then she like reaches into her pocket she takes out the other one she's sitting there with uh this is like a fucked up matrix she's got two pills but they're the same

You either bought the product in a little foil roll, similar to what is offered today, or there was a little metal tin that you could carry them in your pocket.

If you're old enough to remember, you know, you could get like Bayer aspirin in a little metal tin, probably associated these days with like an Altoid or something like that, that you could carry in your pocket.

And that was really the only way you could get Pez for its initial creation.

It wasn't until the late 1940s that his success was growing and business was increasing that he wanted to try something different with that because he was a bit of a germaphobe.
