The ORIGINAL Canada Mints- 2 lb. Bag Wintergreen (Pink)

I had these on every car trip growing up in the 1970’s. I couldn’t find these for years. First got some generic ones. They actually tasted the same as these and also said Canada on them. When I needed a refill these original candies showed up and were just as good a value.

They're exactly like the candy my grandma always had in her candy dish. Nowadays you're lucky to see candy dishes.

just what I expected, excellent wintergreen taste , I expect that they are a bit of an acquired taste as most people eat spearmint , this are easy to chew, think of them as semi hard candy, not too big but larger than the small mint candies about the size of a dime with a thickness of about 3/8 inch, a good product

I have LOVED the authentic Wintergreen Pink Mints since my first exposure to them at my Great Grandparents house when I was about 5 ( I'm now 63 ). For the past 25 years or so they have been VERY hard to find, ESPECIALLY with the CORRECT TEXTURE. I used to be able to buy them at Bass Pro Shop, (Not labeled as Canada brand - BUT OF CORRECT SMOOTH TEXTURE ) but not for over 10 years now have they had them. I run across them occasionally at various places, though they too are not "branded", I get excited, buy a bag, only to be disappointed immediately by the fact that they are ALWAYS hard. I did an INTENSE search here on Amazon, read many reviews of the various brands offered, and decided to try these - even tho it was a large bag, and over $20, I figured if they were the RIGHT ones I have been longing for, it would be worth it. I opened the bag within 5 minutes of arrival and popped one in, expecting and anticipating that smooth-ish yet firm texture and wonderful wintergreen flavor. I was COMPLETELY deflated and disappointed the moment it went in my mouth! IT WAS ROCK HARD! There is a "Best by" sticker of 11/25/2027 on the package, but no "production" date, as these are supposed to have a "semi-soft" bite texture, even if they were "freshly made", in 2 years from now they would definitely be rock hard by then. And anyone who knows and loves these knows they would be eaten up long before then ... As another reviewer said, " like Lays chips, can't eat just one ". So disappointed

Love these!
