Why Restaurants Should Always Offer Andes Mints | Eater
"A nationwide casual-dining restaurant chain in the U.S. that is famous for keeping a large bowl of foil-wrapped Andes mints at the host stand for guests to take freely. Each branch routinely dispenses the complimentary mints as a post-meal treat and even offers a chain-exclusive variation reportedly riffing on the brand’s Mint Parfait flavor. The practice functions as a sweet punctuation to a meal — both a palate refresher and a miniature dessert — and conveys a sense of generous hospitality and occasion that many diners remember fondly from the 1980s and ’90s." - Lesley Suter
