Prime Throat

prime throat lozenges

I got these “throat lozenges” (more like mints) for free on the street of some city I visited this year on business. I liked the package, so I kept it. I finally got a scanner as an early Christmas present this past weekend. (Thanks, mom and dad!) Now I can throw it away. (The package, not the scanner.)

P.S. Yes, having a scanner means Chinese Calvin & Hobbes scans, and many, many other things, coming soon…
