Excellent item if you like the flavour of wintergreen
I absolutely love wintergreen flavoured anything, the fact these are sugar free is a bonus. I got the item earlier than expected and on a Sunday, awesome service. I have bought the item on repeat a few times already and will continue to do so in the future.they are my drug of choice.🤗

tasty
I think that it is now illegal to sell diabetic friendly products in my community. There just aren't any. Which is too bad considering that about a third of the population is diabetic and undiagnosed.

"A Laxative Effect" INDEED --You have been warned!!!
Bought these as a warehouse deal because I wanted something sweet but low/-no-cal. Have had the regular variety and love the wint-o-green flavor, and these mints have a comparable, pleasant flavor making it easy to consume several in the course of watching a movie, etc. Should you do this, in short order, your tummy and GI tract will begin to rumble, and you will make many visits to your bathroom in a short span of time until nothing is left to purge. As a few other reviewers have noted, the back of the package notes that "excessive consumption may have a laxative effect," Alas, I did not see this fine print warning until I was trying to diagnose my multi-day onset of fairly severe GI distress, the onset of which suspiciously coincided with the arrival of this package of gut depth charges. Having conclusively ruled out dysentary, giardia, norovirus, and salmonella, the only suspect left was this innocent little white hard candy. It was at this point that I saw the warning on the package. I then read the reviews by other purchasers and found we'd all learned the same hard lesson about eating too much of this particular candy. In fact this stuff is so effective as a laxative, it could and should be marketed as such. It's also the perfect gift to give a co-worker that you are not fond of or as a Halloween delicacy for the annoying neighborhood kiddies. In fact, these things are so potent they have a million potential beneficial (used by police to disable hostage-takers or marauding pit bulls) AND nefarious uses (girlfriend/boyfriend made you mad? wife/husband forgot your anniversary?). I got the box with 12 bags, and each bag contains 22 individually wrapped mints--I consumed almost 1 bag per day, which gives you an idea of their lethality. I'd have 4-5 mints 4 times per day, which, in my book is not even close to excessive. No explicit guidance is provided on what "excessive consumption" translates to in terms of the number of mints per hour so who knows what the "safe" number is to eat. As such, I tossed the rest and will not buy again. That said, I will be enthusiastically recommending these little monsters to all my mortal enemies and former employers. Also, if you have an issue with phenylketonurics (you have PKU), you probably do not want to buy these because they contain phenylalanine.

Spendy for size, and beware of an added "bonus"
I wanted something at work to try and take away afternoon candy/snack cravings, and a co-worker recommended these. I've had the Wint-O-Green mints before, but the sugar-free variety was harder to find, so I placed an order on Amazon.This order had twelve small packages of sugar fee Wint O Green Mints in one box. There are approximately 20 individually wrapped mints per each small bag. For twelve bags, I thought the price was a little spendy - almost $27.00.I also noticed that the mints did nothing to curb my candy cravings - it just made me pop more mints. When popping more mints, I came across the added unwanted "bonus" of the sugar-free mints having a type of laxative effect. Not really what I was looking for in my mints.Taste of these is typical Wint-o-Mint, and can be overwhelming and tongue numbing if you eat too many (as I apparently did). As a child of the late 70's and early 80's, the Wint-O-Green reminds me of the old candy cigarettes I loved to eat but that my mother would never buy for fear I would pretend I was smoking them. Kind of a chalky Pepto Bismol flavor. Ahhh, the memories. Truth be told, I'd much rather a candy cigarette over these.

Best sugar free Life Savers ever!
These are awesome we’ve tried everything sugar free and trust me nothing surpasses these Life Savers.Being diabetic we went on a search for hard candy and after trying everything sucker related these were the bestIn both flavors. All the other products out there taste fake, these are the best tasting of them all. You won’t be disappointed! They only thing that bothers me is they have them in the family size in the regular ones but the company only make these small bags in sugar free version and charges you much too much for them .Makes me sad!
