ALTOIDS Peppermint Breath Mint Tins, 3.52 Oz (Pack of 2)

I really love Altoid Smalls. I became a heavy Altoid user after I quit smoking a few years ago. They (and Starbrights) were the only things that could stave off my desire to smoke, with their super-strong peppermint taste. But, of course, regular Altoids are basically pure sugar, and are therefore very bad for the teeth. And regular Altoids do have calories, too: 3.33 calories each, which adds up if you're chewing through whole tins of them. So I decided to give the Smalls a try. Been hooked ever since. They've replaced EVERY other mint, hard candy and other similar product; in fact, I threw all the others out once I tried these, and haven't gone back. They aren't pleasantly chalky like regular Altoids, by the way; they have a smooth texture, which is not as good but has its own charm once you adjust to the change. The details: - the Smalls have a strong taste. Those who like the burning sensation of strong peppermint will really like these (conversely, those looking for more of a Tic-Tac level strength will be overwhelmed). Personally, I like the taste a lot. - they have no sugar, so you can enjoy them and still have teeth in five or ten years - they actually last a pretty long time. I've gotten as far as 25 minutes on one mint, though 9-10 minutes is more typical. - they are a half-calorie each. An entire tin of 50 of them is only 25 calories. Even if you consume three tins of them in a day (which I have done) you're still only looking at 75 calories. - they do contain Sorbitol, an ingredient in many diet candies and treats which gives some people ... how's a nice way to put this .... gassiness and a need to go to the bathroom frequently. I seem to have no or very little reaction to Sorbitol. But I think it's just luck of the draw; my wife reacts badly to it. However, an entire tin of these only contains 25 calories worth of candy with Sorbitol in it, roughly equivalent to, say, two or three sugar-free Starbrights. So, even those with some Sorbitol intolerance might not be too bothered by these, if consumed in reasonable quantities. The summary: For the orally-fixated amongst us, who must have something in their mouths at all times, Altoid Smalls are practically a god-send: a sugar-free, virtually no calorie, strong-tasting mint that tastes pretty good and come in a convenient 50-pack. As long as you are tolerant of Sorbitol, I think you'll be pretty satisfied with these. They are not as good as regular Altoids, but have no sugar and practically no calories. They are a nice alternative. The only thing with the Smalls is learning to conserve them. There is a tendency to pop 3 or 4 of them in the mouth, chew through them, and then pop another 3 or 4. Getting it down to 1 mint and learning to savor it for a while can knock the daily consumption down from 3-4 tins to 1.

Altoids have been my go-to mints for years, and this 2-pack is perfect for keeping one at home and one on the go. The peppermint flavor is exactly what they’re known for—curiously strong—and it instantly gives you that good-breath confidence. I love the small metal tin design: it’s sturdy, easy to slip into a pocket or bag, and keeps the mints fresh. The portion size is just right, and the lid clicks shut securely so you don’t have mints spilling everywhere. If you want a classic mint that actually works (not the weak, sugary kind), Altoids are the best. Strong flavor, compact, and reliable—highly recommend!

Altoids are without a doubt the best mints you can buy. They're strong, they taste great, and they're always fresh. The tins themselves are cheap and the mints are a reasonable size. If you've never tried an Altoid before, it's absolutely worth it.
