Some Extra Mints

in

I'm a cruncher. I crunch ice, Tootsie Roll Pops and mints. Give my wife a Life Saver mint, and it will last for hours. Mine are lucky to make it 60 seconds. That's a big part of why I love the mints at Sonic.

They look like slightly smaller regular starlight peppermint discs, but when my teeth make impact, they crumble into a million tiny pieces of refreshing awesomeness. The texture reminds me of the soft pastel dinner mints my grandma kept in a bowl on her buffet.

Last week as we were going through the Sonic drive-in, I mention how much I love the mints when Gina suggested I just ask for a few more. I did and they gave me a handful. Yesterday, I asked the carhop for some extra mints and she came back with this small cup stuffed with them, "That way you can just keep them in your cup holder." 

Thanks for the extra mints. I LOVE sonic!

LISTEN TO THIS | "Climate Change" vs. "Global Warming"

I'm a podcast junkie, and LISTEN TO THIS is a quick recap of an recent episode that I can't quit thinking and talking about.

ON THE MEDIA | "Climate Change" vs. "Global Warming"

I started my career working in the resident halls at Purdue University. They were "residence halls" not "dorms." Then when I transitioned into retail at May Department Stores, we sold "handbags" not "purses," and "braces" not "suspenders" (okay, we didn't sell a lot of those, but we did offer them).

I've always been fascinated by word choice and whether it really makes a difference or not. If you are also intrigued by word choice, listen to Bob Garfield's interview with Anthony Leiserowitz, Director of the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication, and the principal investigator of the new study, “What’s In a Name? Global Warming Versus Climate Change.”
