Altoids Smalls Mints When You Lean In Humor Print Ad 2009 2000s

Altoids Smalls sells fresh breath with a wink, showing a woman in an open-back dress holding a tin behind her back while the headline warns, When you lean in, make sure he doesn't lean out. The humor targets confident young women heading into date night, and the cropped framing keeps the focus on her bare back and the little red tin. Tongue-in-cheek innuendo was a long-running Altoids habit, and this 2009 entry plays the flirtation for laughs. It is a cheeky page for mint-tin and advertising-slogan collectors.

• Tagline asks if you are in mint condition
• Peppermint tin is the only product on the page
