Deb and I went shopping at Hobby Lobby today, and while standing in line, we found these. Both of us being religious scholars of some sort, we decided that it was necessary to buy and examine these Scripture Mints to determine exactly what they were, and whether we thought they could indeed "Reach The World One Piece At A Time!"
Deb was intrigued by idea of fish shaped mints. I wondered how many people were drawn in by the promise of a "Bible Verse Inside." I was hoping each fish would be engraved with a Bible verse or a single world of a verse which you would have to string together to discover God's message. Unfortunately, the only words of divine wisdom were written in the King James version on the lid of the tin. (Acts 2:38 - Everyone should and can be baptized.) Really, it would have been more appropriate to use Matthew 4:19: "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
Our interest piqued, we followed the link on the back of the tin to scripturecandy.com. If Scripture Mints don't get you to church, maybe Cross Pops, Faith Pops, Prayer Jelly Beans, or any other variety of candy wrapped in scripture will.

this is exactly why i stopped going to church: diabetics can't eat this shit! how discriminatory.
My mom and I used to get TestaMINTs. They were the tastiest mints I've ever had. Unfortunately they were not fish shaped... their only drawback.
