Yep. Outisde the operating theater are a couple of vending machines. In an old
episode, Kramer talks Jerry into going to an operation. He buys Junior Mints to
eat during the "show" and offers some to Jerry while the operation is taking
place. One of them gets knocked into the patient -- and later  disease goes into
remission. Kramer attributes it to the "refreshing" mints.
