The story of Low Battery Mints

Low Battery Mints were named after the most stressful screen of the decade. The tin looked exactly like the battery icon at one percent, red sliver and all, and the mints came in flavors like Mint Charge and Power Saver. People bought them at airports while hunting for outlets and opened them while staring at their dying phones.

Fun fact

Shaking the tin made a rattle that some people swore made their phones charge faster.
