A real dilemma! What do you do?

Now here is a serious dilemma. When offered an After Eight mint from a box do you either take the mint in its little packet out of the box but then have to decide what to do with the packet. Or do you just take the mint, leaving the packet in the box and thereby giving the impression that the box is fuller than it is? I am literally in the midst of this situation right now. Fortunately I am at home so it is only DH and me here, but what if I was in company!!!

I'm not sure what the etiquette is for discarded wrappers.
Imagine if the box swept past you and you took out what looked like a mint but was only an empty wrapper, though?
What's the polite thing to do then?

Thank you all for your advice. I will definitely try freezing them and also the knicker trick. And thank you so much for giving me an idea about disposing of my chewing gum. Lacking a bed post to put it on, I have often worried about how to deal with both. ??
The trouble is that while I have been slaving away at work all day, my DH has finished the box off!!
So any advice as to a suitable punishment for him!!????

I don’t like chocolate, but I’d give one away to play the knicker race!

Staple every empty wrapper to his underpants. Whether he's wearing them at the time or not will depend upon how ???? you are with him.

I’m a cheapskate, I buy the Tesco version so no paper packet to worry about.
