Hypothetically speaking.

1. Curiously Strong
Farts. I've eaten a whole tin of the cinnamon altoids in that time and, beyond a slightly sore mouth, I farted a bit more than normal and they WERE curiously strong.

5. There are certain activities that could be affected.
DU forbids discussion of some of these, but french kissing would be interesting for the partner, as would other oral acts better left unmentioned.

11. Oh shit. The sorbitol thing.
Well, I don't have to leave the house except to get a kid off the bus, so I guess it's not the end of the world, one way or another...

14. Nooo! I think I have a high tolerance for sorbitol.
I chew a lot of sugar-free gum.

Grasping....

9. Drink Coke with it and become a human fountain.
Oh, that's Mentos, not Altoids. Well, do a science experiment.

21. Nope.
Altoids are curiously lame. I've tried what you suggest, and all I got was a slight case of the minty burps. :P
