Istvan looked at me with an expression that was part disgust and part admiration. “I cannot believe that you have done that,” he said. “” I am astounded.”
I couldn’t speak for obvious reasons, but I attempted to mould my face into the shape of a smile, and came fairly close. “MMMMmmmmmmh!” I grinned.
Then I started choking. Istvan leaped around and started giving me the heimlich manoevre, although at the time I wthough he was just dry humping me.
Evenually it worked and I coughed up a large slimey mess of saliva, mint fragments and a little bile.
That’s the last time I try to eat an entire packet of extra strong mints in one go!

Heh. Oh yuck. Also, oh yay!

This made me want to gag, not your writing, but the thought of swallowing an entire package of extra-strong mints at one time. No wonder the narrator starts choking.
Short extra-short story, but highly evocative! I still don’t feel well, and I don’t think I’ll be eating mints any time soon.

The grossest bit is the title, which implies that the narrator managed to swallow a whole packet of mints at some point in the past!
