Apparently, Junior Mints are some kind of American Movie Theatre Institution. A family favourite at the movie concession stand - not unlike a box of Maltesers in Australia.
They have also featured in a Seinfeld episode "The Junior Mint" which obviously means they've reached the pinnacle in contemporary culture.
"Who's gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It's chocolate, it's peppermint; it's delicious!"
Pretty much an after dinner mint in a box. Possibly providing for easier delivery to the mouth - but for $3 a box, nothing so amazing that I need to buy a box every week.
I like mint, I like dark chocolate, I like the combination, but I think I'll stick with a mint slice - after all, you get a junior mint and a chocolate bbiscuit all in one.

Mmmmmmm I'll take Maltesers over Junior Mints any day !
Oh, yes. At the movies, it was either chocolate covered malted milk balls or junior mints, popcorn, and a drink of some kind. If money was tight it was the junior mints before anything else. (As an adult, I prefer York mint patties.)
