Advantages: Not too minty, nice and creamy, cheap, long-lasting (for some!) Disadvantages: Bad package design, no chewy centre! Outside goes soft
Apparently these most unassuming of mints have been around since 1944, but who knows how they have they survived for so long as I have never met anybody else apart from myself who buys them!

They are available in a 227g bag but they are also available in a roll. I would reccommend buying the roll because for some strange reason once you open the bag the outside of these sweets go soft. Im not sure why this happens as the sweets are individually wrapped.
These sweets kind of have the texture of Werthers Original but with a slight minty ...
