These were stale. Not good at all.Love this item! Perfect for taking to church with the family. Love the individual wrapping and they are soft and melt away perfect in your mouth!Our clients enjoy this mint when they are in our office. A favorite (with staff as well)!It was exactly what I ordered and I received it with no problems.Excellent value. Melts in your mouth.Disappointed - the mints were old.I recently puchased this very same 4 oz. bag of RED BIRD Soft Peppermint Puffs at a dollar-type store.It's a remarkable candy (made in North Carolina) that dates back to 1890.Each quick-dissolving mint is individually wrapped.Three of them have only 60 calories, and the amount of peppermint flavor they deliver is unrivaled.The only drawback is, even if you don't chew them, Red Birds melt swiftly and you're left craving more.They're great. I remember them from childhood and can honestly say these haven't changed inflavor or satisfaction even with the passage of over a half century. Buy with confidence.I’m not a big peppermint fan, but it’s Christmas so I have to have them for guests and baking. These softer and sweeter than other peppermint candies.
