minute mint

Mint tablets that measure time

In collaboration with UHA Mikakuto and Kokuyo, we created “minute mint,” a mint tablet designed to dissolve in a certain amount of time when licked in the mouth.

The minute mint, a “sweet way to measure time,” is a mint tablet designed to dissolve in the time indicated on the package*. It is a new kind of “time snack” that is perfect when you’re about to take a short break during remote work or need a bit of refreshment.
