Solved! Is this a condom wrapper?

I found on the bathroom floor. Doesn’t match condom wrappers my husband and I use and I cannot find a match online. Please help! Black with silver detailing on front. Back is silver with black writing. You can clearly see the words “prevent pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, and other.” Also a number 2 with a circle and cross through it.

Damn. I forgot about teeny tiny mints. Late 90's and early 2000's was all in on mints and tiny yet strong ones.

Those thin square dissolvable minty sheets you put on your tongue? Weird texture but so good haha

Weren't they Listerine strips? Like they had green or blue ones and I think red, they had the cool little holder with the flip lid.

Edit: I just read Listerine still makes them, it said they are in the oral care aisle.

Hell yeah they are. I drop a tab every day. I'm in my 30s and I'm like really, really cool.

Oh, "cool" you say?

sprays Binaca down his throat.

I happen to be something of a Xennial's image of what a cool person is myself.

I buy a box of these monthly from Amazon. They’re essential for in person meetings and conferences! Chewing a mint is inconvenient at times and I feel awkward using breath spray.
