The mint Altoids may be irritating your throat. Sneezing is an involuntary reaction where the body is trying to get rid of an irritating agent. I always sneeze when I'm choking!

Maybe its the strong mint flavoring used in them. I dont know though, thats kind of weird! Lol.

You could be allergic to something in the altoid.

Suprisingly, a lot of people are allergic to gelatin, which is an ingredient in altoids. Or you could be allergic to some of the natural flavorings in them.

Maybe cause they are curiously strong..?
