A real dilemma! What do you do?

I’m a cheapskate, I buy the Tesco version so no paper packet to worry about.

So any advice as to a suitable punishment for him!!????

Staple every empty wrapper to his underpants. Whether he's wearing them at the time or not will depend upon how ???? you are with him.

I don’t like chocolate, but I’d give one away to play the knicker race!

Thank you all for your advice. I will definitely try freezing them and also the knicker trick. And thank you so much for giving me an idea about disposing of my chewing gum. Lacking a bed post to put it on, I have often worried about how to deal with both. ??
The trouble is that while I have been slaving away at work all day, my DH has finished the box off!!

I'm not sure what the etiquette is for discarded wrappers.
Imagine if the box swept past you and you took out what looked like a mint but was only an empty wrapper, though?
What's the polite thing to do then?

But if, in polite society, you take it out with the wrapper - then what do you do with the wrapper? (Apart from making it into a pair of knickers!)

Screw it up and throw it on the coffee table, discreetly put it in your pocket, deposit it in an empty coffee cup?

I know how to make a party swing.

Now that's class MissA! You're proper posh you are!

You could have a race!

Winner gets an extra mint.

MissAdventure. I’m definitely going try that when friends are here over Xmas.

Have they got smaller, or is it my imagination?

You take the wrapper too, then while you're munching your mint, you tear off the two bottom corners, so it ends up like a little pair of knickers.
Then you put them on 2 fingers, and pretend it's a person walking around in their pants.
I always do that.

Dark chocolate turns my stomach over. Why are minty flavoured chocolates always in dark chocolate? I love the mint taste but can only eat milk or white chocolate.

Have you tried them frozen? OMG. Amazing.

In To The Manor Born the lady of the manor complained about people leaving the wrappers in the box as she'd ended up offering the Lord Lieutenant a box of waste paper.

My rule for life is what's right for Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton is right for me.

I think they are horrible things but then I hate everything that tastes or smells of mint.

Being a posh lass from up north I know a bit abart this kinda stuff, the fancy wrapper bag thing is to put ya chewing gum in so yer can enjoy the posh mint.
Leave the bag on the coffee table and put your chewy back in as you leave.

was it vegan chocolate, so long ago, in a mainstream product ?
i imagined chocolate always had milk in it.
but i haven't eaten any since 1972, so don't know.

Yuk- no thanks!

They changed the recipe (about twenty years ago) so they're no longer vegan. Before that, no problem - I'd just take the box and eat them all!

I take the mint with the packet and then do that thing where you look around not knowing where to put it until the box is offered back to put it in.

At home I just take the mint then am disappointed when I think there are some left when it's all empty packets.

Keep hold of the box and eat the ones that are left - it's a public service!

I’m in with Blossoming, I’ll have what she leaves.

Mints still in the After Eight box?
And still in wrapper.
A failure of hosting I’m afraid.

Arrange on silver plate only with Fortnum and Mason bag lurking discreetly in the background ?
