Why does sticker on the Ice Breakers mint package always seem to be reversed?

Asked by KateTheGreat (13640points) April 4th, 2011

I was looking at a package of Ice Breakers mints, and I realized that the small compartment is labeled “to share” and that the larger compartment is labeled “not to share”. What’s up with that?

I haven’t seen it but it seems like it’s kinda a joke… like it’s so good you only will want to share one, instead of how much will come out of the larger compartment. Maybe?

I think it’s so that you dont have people sticking thier fingers in the whole tin of mints. Instead of them grabbing at the mints you can just tip the tin and one mint dispenses into their hand. But for you, you can grab one, or three, whenever you’d like.
Although, I thought the used to have the label the other way around. I remember wondering to myself why they changed it. Or maybe I just made that memory up, I don’t know.

@Allie They did have it the other way around a while back.

I thought I was the only one that wondered about this. I asked my husband about it in the car once & he looked at me like I’d landed from another planet. A few minutes later he said, “I really don’t know why it’s like that by the way.”

I figured it was just a misprinted one I had… guess not if a bunch of other people noticed it too.
