Trebor XXX Extra Strong Mints

A review of XXX Extra Strong Mints Well, before I went on holiday just over a week ago I went to stock up on mints. I decided that I wanted something a bit stronger than Polo's or Murray Mints to sustain me through the 100+ mile drive. Then, I saw them on offer - a three pack of XXX mints.

Trebor have a long history in the sweet market and especially in the production of decent strong mints. Their XXX brand came on the market a few years ago as the STRONGER extra strong mints which were designed to blow your socks off.
