Do you take the mint?

So i had a job interview today and after this first chick was done talking to me her superior came in, and before asking me any questions about the job and has a roll of mints puts one in his mouth and then asks "Would you like a mint?"
I took one out of the roll and replied "thanks!"
Then the interview started back up again with him...
Was this a test to see if i would say thank you?
Was this a test to see if i would talk with something in my mouth?
Was this even a test at all?
And what would you do in this situation?

Did you take the red mint or the blue mint?
If you only remember the one mint and your life has continued as normal, there is only one conclusion to draw.

Maybe it was a test to see if you would take something if someone offered it to you.

Prolly has a sensitive nose and hates the smell of interviewees' mouths. It was for the sake of his own smeller.

Voted yes, but only if I like the mint. Don't see what else I would weigh in that decision.

I was wondering about this myself...Someone offers me a mint, do I have bad breath?
I would say: Yes please and Thank you.
Chew the mint while they are talking and swallowed it by the time it is my turn to speak (hopefully.)

Maybe i had bad breathe, but i never have bad breathe. I brushed my teeth before i went to the interview. Does anyone else brush their tongue when they're brushing their teeth too? I always make sure to brush my tongue.
I really hope i get this job...
I'm surprised no one has wanted to know where i applied too

I am wondering if you are still "nodding."
How is that going for you?
What kind of mints were they? (this is actually important for my post after all, you may not be able to chew it in time before having to speak!)
Um...what job did you go for?

I scrape my tongue with a metal foil kinda gizmo I bought on Ebay after a friend turned me on to the benefits of tongue scraping. Much better than tongue brushing.
Try it. You'll like it.

@Diploid that thing is awesome! I'm pretty obsessive about my oral hygiene... i brush and floss daily. Now i need to find myself that tongue cleaner so i don't just brush it like a chump.
The mint was the kind you suck on and then gets soft enough to bite into pieces. I didn't see the brand, it was just in an unmarked wrapper (like silver gum wrapper).

Not about looks, either everybody gets one or nobody. And they'd have mentioned it by now. Cool.

I wonder if things would have been different if i would have said i have been to rehab twice and am a recovering heroin addict?
A cheese grater on your tongue??? That would hurt! After brushing my tongue with my tooth brush it makes my mouth fully complete and cleaned

Make sure to gargle with Drano (or similar pipe cleaning product).
