I recently purchased 25 tins of Nihilist Mints hoping they would provide some sort of meaning to my life of despair. I have eaten 24 of the 25 tins, yet I see no difference in my existence. Is there any reason to eat the 25th tin?

Up to this point in my life, nothing meant very much to me. I believed nothing. I mostly did nothing, too. I could see nothing wrong with this attitude, though.

And Amazon, don't get me started about amazon. I WOULD probably be a big fan of amazon, except that I am always finding SOMETHING to buy. Believe me, I've spent many, many useless hours searching for nothing at all. All I've ever been able to find up to this point, was a whole lot of SOMETHINGS. Not only that, but I have spent hundreds, nay, thousands of dollars on this website purchasing things, things, and more things.

What does it all mean? I wish I knew! It's so hard for me to express the depth of my feelings about nothing; my vocabulary is so limited that I have to use circumlocution to try to say what I mean. I mean nothing is worth all this. And more. Nothing could make me happier. Than Nihilist Mints, that is. Finally something that is basically nothing. Something I can believe in, because it is nothing at all really. No taste, no calories, no color; nothing!

This may seem ironic, but, that's OK, because irony is the basis of everything. Everything that I have experienced so far, that is. And apparently, it is the basis of nothing, too. This really pleases me. There is nothing that I feel stronger about. Well, except maybe apathy. Thank-you, amazon, for offering Nihilist Mints, a (no)thing I can really believe in!

Do you have a friend who has everything and you don't know what to get them for Christmas? Or do you know someone who believes in the thoughts of Nietzsche or Jacobi? Do they like mints? Mints without flavor, without any form of substance? A gift with a lackluster tin, white mints enhanced in a black tin with the word Nihilist in large letters? Then Nihilist is for you!

60 mints, tasteless, without any meaning, a black hole, encased in the black tin. The mints have no artificial flavor or color- something positive, right? The cost is $2.99- a good price for nothing. It seems like we are in the middle of a Jerry Seinfeld show- a show about nothing, where nothing ever happens. A new mint for those whose life is without meaning.

The mints may seem like a joke to you. You can find them at all the sites for joke gifts, but for those of you who have no meaning and no life, yeah, these are for you. I was thinking that this is the kind of gift that would go over well at the office Christmas party. Really, no need to thank me, they are all yours.

Recommended for those looking for meaning in life, but aren't there yet. These are the halfway

step, soon you will be on your way to nothing.

First, I ordered this what 3 days ago? And I already got it. I live in Ohio, this was shipped from San Diego California. Second, this is great. It might be on the small side for what you're paying for, but it's great to be able to offer someone a mint and have them confused as to what flavor it is. If you have a strong sense of taste, you might be able to find a trace of flavor in the mint. Overall, great product for those who enjoy the not-taste of not-flavor.

These mints are really just for fun... specially when people ask you: "Why they are flavorless?" or worse "What does "nihilist" mean? LOL
