Breath mints which we have every now and then to improve our breath are quite a good invention. Its something not many people would have though of, but some smart chap went ahead and brought this mint flavor in the form of pills. All we need to do is pop one in and chew on it, it helps to remove all the bacteria and helps to promote freshness in the mouth. A must before you kiss someone ;). But what we dint realize was that we just had these mints and threw away those tins in which they came. But there were a weird group of people who collected this. They collect all these tins made by different manufacturers and then they store them, and guess what? Years later these fetch them a pretty good price. What we throw away as junk they collect and make money out of it. I recently met a man who wanted my mint tin box, and when I asked him why he gave me a truthful answer by saying that it would be worth a lot after some years since the company dint make them anymore. He also took me to his place and showed me his collection of tin boxes which amounted to almost 200 tins. I was shocked to see such a huge collection. Thankfully the guy collected various types of lighters and watched which dint make him weird. So what they say is true, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.
