Because Fresh Breath is SO Important to a Teenager

November 28, 2007

The lovely Holly from Culture Captioning asked me if I’d like to try some products out and then tell ya’all about it. I immediately thought, free stuff? and I get to talk about it? and free stuff?

So of course I said yes. Mamma didn’t raise no fool.

Then the boxes started arriving. And then I got sick. But TODAY! Today, I opened one of the items because ~~I was forced by a teenager~~ I wanted to.

So. VerMints.

Lots of yummy things come from Vermont. Maple Syrup is one of them.

Another one is now VerMints.

Let me explain. I’m a mints junkie. I’ve done the usual suspects, the Altoids and the other various mints, some I’ve paid for and some ~~thankfully~~ have been free. I have mints tins in every car I own, some super swanky and some I probably need to throw away. Suffice it to say, I loves me some mints.

I LOVE me some VerMints. More specifically, I love the VerMints Cinnamint and the Chai, forever and ever, AMEN!

Another thing I love? These mints are gluten-free, organic, no artificial sweeteners, and nut free. If my teenaged son liked mints, these would be perfect for him! (He will, just wait!)

So, instead, I enlisted SoccerDude to help me out. Luckily for me, he does like mints. He liked each and every one of the mints except for one. GingerMint. That one, he said was a little spicy. However, he liked the taste, just not the spicy. I liked it just fine, and as an added bonus to my current stuffy head, it actually helped clear things up for a few seconds so I could breathe.

Which made me realize I need to take the trash out.

Each and every one of the flavors has a great taste sensation from beginning to end. I found myself working through half of the CinnaMint tin on my own before I had to set it down and walk away. They’re THAT good.

They’re so good, I’m ordering more. They will make great gifts for co-workers and stocking stuffers. Provided I don’t eat them all first.
