My I was a kid ( a long time ago) my dad would occasionally come home from work with a pack of these candies and give us one. I was always surprised by the smell and taste, and absolutely hated them.As an adult I kind of like them and their really unique taste. It also reminds me of my childhood.It is a nice candy that is low in calories, big on flavor and easy to take with you as the candies are individually packaged. They also make a nice ice breaker as they are so unique.So refreshing I like these they have more intense flavor and the are individually wrapped and I can’t get enough. They are delicious. So glad they have come out with the round separately wrapped. The smell is fabulous and they are so good. I have been buying these since 1989. Glad they went with the round and you will never use another mouth refresher. Still AMAZON CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BECOME RUDE ARGUMENTATIVE THE LAST YEAR I USED TO LOVE THIS PLACE. TIRED OF SO MANY THINGS JUST JUNK.I was afraid the flavor would not be the same but, these are exactly what I hoped forI was so happy to come across these. Yes, it’s an acquired taste, I get that, but as a kid I loved these.These mints are very refreshing and tastyWhen you open the bag it smells initially like pickles which was strange but even though the candies were fine they were not flavorful like the originals. The flavor was only after you get into the middle and it tasted like a diluted flavor. Stick with the old square ones.I like the de Flavigny rose and violet mints far better. But in a pinch, these will do fine.Always loved these. It's nice that they are individually wrapped.
