I recently stumbled across Minimus, an online retailer that specializes in individually wrapped foods designed for travel. I don't know that I'll ever need to mail-order a single packet of Saltines or two Grissini breadsticks ($0.06 and $0.11, respectively), but having a few packets of Frank's Red Hot Hot Sauce in the glove box or carry-on bag might not be a bad idea. The Minimus FAQ also states quite clearly that "[n]one of our items are from hotel guests or from restaurant tables." Still, it seems like some of these things aren't usually offered for individual sale. The disposable tea stick seems kind of cool, although I don't know why it would be any better than a regular tea bag. Like the entire site, maybe it's the novelty that's drawn me in.Travel-sized foods

1The part of me that once contemplated carrying around a tiny pepper grinder so as to avoid pre-ground pepper thinks this is awesome.
The part of me that was embarrassed at the thought and shamed the pro-grinder part of me into submission won't allow me to check out the website for fear of the potential consequences.
