			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So why is it that every time I think that all possible ideas for new Star Wars merchandise have been 100% exhausted, someone comes out with yet another product which nobody ever thought about. Case in point, these R2-D2 mints.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71367" title="r2-d2_mint_candy_tin" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/r2-d2_mint_candy_tin.jpg" alt="r2 d2 mint candy tin" width="600" height="591" /></p>
<p><span id="more-71366"></span>Now this particular R2 unit seems to have flipped his lid, but that&#8217;s only so you can get at the minty goodness inside, and not because he has a bad motivator unit. It&#8217;s hard to tell from the picture, but each mint is also shaped like a little R2-D2 too. It&#8217;s too bad that there&#8217;s no matching C-3PO candy tin, because they&#8217;d look pretty good standing alongside each other on your desk. Oh well, one droid is better than no droids, I suppose.</p>
<p>On the other hand, they will be offering <a href="http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/21619595/Star-Wars-Tinned-Confectionary-Stormtrooper/Product.html">Stormtrooper</a>, <a href="http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/21619593/Star-Wars-Tinned-Confectionary-Darth-Vader/Product.html">Darth Vader</a> and <a href="http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/21619596/Star-Wars-Tinned-Confectionary-Death-Star/Product.html">Death Star</a> mints, which freshen your breath with the full power of the Dark Side of the Force.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71368" title="star_wars_breath_mints" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/star_wars_breath_mints.jpg" alt="star wars breath mints" width="600" height="522" /></p>
<p>The R2-D2 mint candy tin is available for pre-order over at <a href="http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/21619591/-/Product.html">Play.com</a> for £3.49 (~$6 USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What better way to purge the flavor of that sticky sweet <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2007/12/09/super-mario-power-up-energy-drink-just-add-vodka/">Super Mario Energy Drink</a> from your mouth but with some minty Nintendo Wii chewing gum?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2231" title="nintendo_wii_gum" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/nintendo_wii_gum.jpg" alt="nintendo wii gum" width="429" height="520" /></p>
<p>Perfect for satisfying your oral fixation, the little peppermint chiclets of the chewy stuff come packaged inside a life-sized Wii-mote shell (non-functional, of course). Four-out-of-five dentists recommend these for patients who can chew gum and play video games at the same time.</p>
<p>The official Nintendo Wii chewing gum is available from <a href="http://www.gkworld.com/product/GKW30062?meta=FRG&amp;utm_source=GBASE&amp;utm_medium=CPC&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=">GK World</a> or <a href="http://www.fractalspin.com/x/product.php?productid=256">FractalSpin</a> for under $4 a package.</p>
<p><em>[Sweet tooth not satisfied yet? Check out these <a href="http://www.fractalspin.com/x/product.php?productid=117">Nintendo Power Mints</a> and <a href="http://www.fractalspin.com/x/product.php?productid=239">SMB Mushroom Candies</a> for a quick fix].</em></p>
