We love these Creme De Menthe Altoids! While they are a very good breath mint, we use them mainly for flavoring our coffee and sometimes, tea. One, in the bottom of the cup, or a few in the coffee/tea pot makes life more interesting! Also, good with just a touch of hot cocoa, added along with Altoids, in coffee. And yes, they are good in hot cocoa, too. Very inexpensive, easy way to flavor coffee or tea, much cheaper than alternative. Almost no calories, but big on flavor! We've used this new flavor since it came out and we've used other flavors of Altoids for decades!

Smell better than they taste - Derek J. Overstreet - Tempe, AZ USA
I've found that I like to just leave a tin of these open on my desk. They make the room smell amazing... kind of a weird thing to say but they smell better than they taste. They taste good, but maybe would be even better in coffee/hot cocoa rather than as a breath mint. They still have that funky altoids aftertaste and seem to make my teeth feel really dirty.

My Favorite Altoids! - R. H. Wilkins - Orlando, FL
I love all Altoids, but these are my favorite. Good price on them too. Hopefully Amazon.com will continue stocking them - I know I will keep buying them!

Altoids Small Sugar Free Curiously Strong Mints, Peppermints Flavor - 0.50 Oz, 9 Pack

Altoids Small Sugar Free Curiously Strong Mints, Peppermints Flavor - 0.50 Oz, 9 Pack Review

See more picture

The first original curiously strong mints date all the way back to 1780, when they were created by the London-based company Smith & Company - their charter was signed by King George III! In the nineteenth century, Smith & Company was purchased by Callard & Bowser, Inc., and in the twentieth century Callard & Bowser was acquired by the American firm Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company. But, through it all, Altoids have survived, a never-ending tradition of excellence!

OK, I must admit that I have long been a fan of the original "Curiously Strong Peppermints." But, I must say that they have made a good product even better. Unlike the original mints, these little mints are 100 sugar-free, but they still have that great, curiously strong taste. They come 50 to a small box that fits neatly into your pocket or purse, and can be whipped out for a quick breath sweetening. As a matter of fact, I keep a tin of these on my desk at work for that very purpose!

So, if you want a really good breath mint, then I recommend that you get a tin of Altoids Smalls Peppermint. I think that they are great!

Need more stars! - ihavewebfeet - Lake Lanier, GA
I love these for so many reasons...

Of course, they're awesome for fresh breath AND they're sugar free.

They also, at least to me, make an amazing cough suppressant when I'm having an allergy attack (dust, pollen...). Way better (and faster) than popping an antihistamine. I also tend to get a bit queasy on the winding roads in our area. Popping a few of these somehow alleviate that feeling. Oddly, the large sugary Altoids don't seem to pack enough punch to accomplish either of these. There's just something about the little ones.

The smaller size of the mints and their tins are also much easier to carry along than original Altoids. They take up very little room in my purse and nightstand. I'll wait on a box of these from Amazon before I'd buy a few tins of the original Altoids now!

Best mini mints ever! - Lisa Tarling - Vancouver Island, BC
Love these!! The perfect size mint, in the awesome Altoids Tin. I use these for dry mouth. And since their sugar free, no calories to worry about. A+

Still loving 'em - dhlocker - Michigan, USA
I've purchased Ginger Altoids in the past, but they are getting harder to find at normal retail outlets. Good thing Amazon is here. And at a very good price.

Great ginger flavour, lots of zest, just like Ginger Altoids!


I don't use them as a candy - Ruthie Ann - Oldenburg, IN USA
but as a remedy for an upset stomach or nausea. They're fantastic for that. If you don't suffer from digestive problems and/or you can't stand ginger, I wouldn't buy these. But if you do, I would HIGHLY recommend these.

I have been a fan of these "Altoids" mini mints for a long time, but now, they are packaged in a different box and instead of 60 in each tin, now there is only 50!! I just thought everyone should know!!!I think the seller should have a correct picture of the product they are selling. Thanks to all......"Rusty", (still surviving)

best mints ever - S. Cutler - Orem, UT
my husband loves these. this is the best price we have found. they are great mints.

I stick with the full size - Autumn B -
I bought an entire box of these because I thought it would be more convenient to carry them in my pocket instead of the larger size. That lasted about a day because the small altoids in the small package create a lot of noise like a maraca.

I always ended up eating 3-4 of these at a time, so ultimately why not just carry the full size and eat a full size altoid.

Same great product, but didn't care for the packaging and rattling.

I loved these Wintergreen Altoid Smalls so much, I had to come write a review. The packaging is small for convenience, and the Altoids are smaller as well with a square shape, blue hue, and even more delicious taste in my opinion. I definitely prefer them over the regular-size Altoids and will continue purchasing them! Highly recommended!

Altoids Smalls Sugar Free Wintergreen Mints, 0.37-Ounce Tins (Pack of 9) Feature

• Pack of nine, 0.37-ounce tins (total of 3.33-ounces)
• Sugar free
• Delightful bit of tasty freshness

Mints come in a tin just like the regular Altoids, only this one is smaller to accommodate the smaller size mints. The tin contains 50 mints in the wintergreen flavor. Altoids have a reputation of being a strong flavored mint and this carries over to the smaller size version also. These mints pack a nice portion of flavor for the size. The wintergreen flavor comes from both natural and artificial flavorings.

Altoids Smalls-Wintergreen - i<3pnutbutter -
Pros:
+packaging, shipping, price
+sold about a year before its expiration date (enough for me to eat/share 9 boxes)
+not too "fresh" like the regular wintergreen and not in a powdery form. it's a real mint!

Cons: none!
