Helen found me at a little past midday and we trotted around the corner and up past the next main street for lunch. The day was a morbid grey, and tending towards chilly. I took a punt and left the umbrella behind.
Amidst computer work prospects in San Francisco, dogs, and American slang, we discussed the strange phenomenon of TicTac packaging. In Australia, all TicTacs are white, regardless of whether they are orange, spearmint or peppermint flavoured. The packaging, however, would be coloured accordingly: orange for orange, and clear for both types of mints - the difference (I think!) is on the colour of the labels. In America, it seems the colouring is on the mints themselves, and all the cases are clear.
Weird, but cool. Oh and by the way, don't try cinnamon TicTacs unless you're brave.
