Choward's Mints Candy Variety Pack | Violet, Spearmint, Peppermint, Guava, and Lemon | Bold Aromatic Flavors | Perfect for Lunchboxes, Travel, Sharing, and Gifting | 10 Pack (15 Mints Per Package)

Taste was great, 1 star review you ask? Because they were in pieces some crumbled to dust every pack was broken. Not eligible for return so we ate the ones we could lol.

I like Chowards mints! Very strong flavors. The lemon is very lemony and not super sweet like a candy. Not a pucker strength lemony, but excellent real lemon flavor. I haven't tried guava, peppermint or spearmint yet, but I'm already addicted to the violet and lemon. I like mints that are mints, not mildly flavored balls of sugar. The violet is strong enough you can smell it. These are old school mints. This automatically throws them into my favorites pile.

I bought these as a stocking stuffer for several family members. Mostly for the violet flavored variety which I had tried at work. A co-worker brought in a pack for us to try. It is novel and tasty.

These candies / mints are reminiscent of a "double-wide PEZ" in consistency and flavor... They're twice as wide as a usual PEZ, but very similar texture and flavor profiles. This particular Amazon item is a bagged set of FIVE flavors, TWO of each - PEPPERMINT - SPEARMINT - LEMON - GUAVA - VIOLET As you'll notice from my Video, I reported a taste test of each flavor to see how they compare. Here's my analysis: VIOLET - This one's their flagship flavor from which Charles Howard launched the company back in 1934 NYC. Tastes kind of like sucking on a flower... a very tasty flower, but definitely that violet taste! GUAVA - This is probably one of their newer flavors; I doubt anyone was thinking guava 80 years ago. It's a hint of flavor; kind of like drinking one of those complex fruit drinks you find for $8 at the mall LEMON - Not surprisingly, this one has a lemony flavor, but it's really more a HINT of LEMON... it's definitely not as strong as I expected, and it even takes a few seconds in the mouth to discern it is lemon. SO, if you're looking for a KICK of lemon, this won't be it. SPEARMINT - This one is definitely the most pronounced and clear of flavors in this set. It's a very full and familiar flavor of mint that freshens the taste buds and pleases the palate with its sweetness and gentle caress. PEPPERMINT - Peppermint, I would have expected to also be a pronounced flavor. Although it might be a tad STRONGER flavor than the spearmint, the peppermint seems a bit muddled of a flavor, and although it definitely has the mint in there, it also has a kind of VANILLA and a bit of some other STARCHY flavor mixed in. So... there you have it. As a starter C. Howards (or Chowards) taster, you can't go wrong with this set!!

Growing up my grandma always had the violet and so it brings back memories and they're good. I have purchased the violet many times but decided to try the others as well and they are all pretty good especially the lemon, reminds me of a smarty the peppermint isn't too strong and the guava is pretty good too. the only issue is the break. up so easily.
