"I buy these and the red/white/blue butter mints and the red/white/blue Tootsie Roll Midgies for my American History classroom. I set them out on Parent Open House Night and I use them as positive reinforcers in the classroom.
I keep a small jar of these twist mints sitting out at all times for students who have coughs.
At Christmas I give out the red/white/blue candy canes. Students are always surprised."
