The mystery of the minty mesages

Yesterday I called the KC factory to find out more about the messages on the mints. I was transferred to S.K. who was unable to take my call at the time, but the woman who spoke to me and took my contact information, told me that S.K. would call me tomorrow. Before parting, she said to me: "May I ask what this is about?" I explained my interest in the messages on the mints and that mostly everyone in Trinidad has had some kinship with the wrappers in their lifetime. I further explained that apart from hearing about regular people's own experiences with (or memories of) the wrappers, I wanted to hear from KC themselves what the story was behind these messages - who wrote them and why. The woman said "Ohhhhhh, yes, I see!" in a tone which indicated that she understood my mission.

I'll see what happens when I speak with SK. But in the meantime ...
