maracas of doom
Eclipse mints as carried in pocket or handbag.
Origins: It has been proposed, in various recent earnest conversations, that if one were a terrorist wishing to drug or poison a large percentage of the Australian population, all one would have to do is find a way to infuse the aforementioned drug or poison into packets of Eclipse Mints. The gusto with which the local populace has embraced the Eclipse Mint is nothing short of phenomenal, and one can hear the mouth-freshening blighters shaking around rhythmically in their distinctive blue tins wherever one goes. In fact, in order to find my own stash, all I have to do is shake my handbag and follow the noise. Hence, if Eclipse Mints were drugged or poisoned, they would become the Maracas Of Doom.
e.g:
"Got a mint?"
"Nah, fresh out - try Tina. I heard her maracas of doom when she got up to go to the photocopier."

I think the answer is to buy Tic Tacs. Everyone's going for the trendy new ones, but I still loves me a Tic Tac. Andn somehow they don't seem to rattle, so I end up digging through the compost of dead tissues, pens, receipts and lip glosses at the bottom, trying to find them.
