BoingBoing!

We were psyched to hear that our favorite blog, Chandrasutra), who calls Oral Fixation the Boing Boing post:

Oral Fixation mints are cleverly packaged mints with clever names (Sugar Free Tibet, Mojito Mint, etc). Never tried ‘em and who knows but they may taste like hell, but they sure make a pretty picture.

Find the Free Postcards

If you live in New York City, you might have seen some saucy Oral Fixation postcards popping up in bars and restaurants around the city, in those racks near the bathrooms and phone booths. We recently set loose 40,000 Oral Fixation “Go Cards” into some of NYC’s coolest bars and restuarants, and they’ll be there for the next few weeks. There’s one with King Kong sucking on the Empire State Building, and one of a sexy Lady Liberty sucking on her torch. If you want to go grab some free Oralfix postcards, here’s a list of the places you can find them. The designs are below. Enjoy!

Woohoo! Yahoo!

Yahoo Daily Pick! We rolled into the Chocolate Factory bright and early this morning and were astonished to see a CRAZY amount of people had just ordered mints—Florida, Missouri, Texas, Maryland, New York, London, and the orders just keep flying in from all over the country—and it’s not even 10AM!! Then we found out that Yahoo! chose our site as one of its featured links today, which is a great honor! Thanks Yahoo! people, and enjoy the mints! Woohoo!

Party Pics!

Golden tickets in hand, mint lovers from the streets of New York, the swamps of New Jersey, the forests of New England (and at least one person all the way from Istanbul, Turkey!) came out to party the night away with the Oral Fixation crew Saturday night at Cielo, in NYC’s meatpacking district. The good people at Rhum Clement kept the free Mojitos flowing, DJ Nicolas Matar laid down some great beats, we laid down some free mints, and there were good times to be had until the wee hours. Here’s the evidence:

Rich & Royal Rock Out!

Monday, May 2nd, 2005

Saturday night was the rockin’ second gig of Rich & Royal (Henry and Eric’s band) at the Old Bay, in lovely New Brunswick, New Jersey. About 200 people showed up to hear their favorite neighborhood mintmasters rock out. Highlights included R&R favorites “Lodestone” and “June”, a tight Bowie Suffragette City, and Henry, in a moment of exultation and extreme lucidity, proclaiming, “YEAH!!!! NEW BRUNSWICK!!!! BEST CITY IN JERSEY!! (apologies to Trenton and Newark). A few snapshots, for your viewing pleasure (note the Sigmund Freud action figure in Henry’s pocket)...

The OvernightscapeThere’s this new form of homespun journalism, sort of like a radio blog, where people basically speak into a microphone for a while and then post their ramblings onto the web. Then people download these “shows” onto their iPods, thus the name “Podcasts”. Nathan Santamaria had a good NPR piece about Podcasts. ANYWAY, this one dude, Frank Edward Nora, talked about our mints on his Podcast the other day (starting at minute 23). His show is called “The Overnightscape” and he seems to put out a 30 minute episode every day. Cool stuff, Frank. Thanks for the mention!
