Minty

[xyzzyplugh]

Apart from Imps and Victory V's. What are the hottest mints you've ever tasted?

[Cetti]

A uncle of mine used to carry in his pocket some very large, very white and also very hot mints - not sure who made them, possibly Trebor, but they were called Extra Strong Mints - and they could blow your head off !!

Mmm.. Haven't sucked on a fisherman's friend for ages. Minty. ;-)

Smints or these ones called O/ZON, they come in a little fashionable little tin and they r pretty hot!

Altoids are pretty hot

Fisherman's Friend!! my brother pops them like smarties.

I just learnt something new here - I never knew 'hot' was the way to describe mints... I always thought 'minty' or 'icky'... interesting :o)

Imps and victory v's aren't mints, they're licorice. My hot mint pick is Uncle Joe's Mint Balls

Victory Vs don't taste of mints or licorice (although there may be licorice in them): they have a curious antiseptic taste like nothing else. I used to love them when I was a kid, but you can't seem to get them any more.

Hot is rather a strange expresion but something I have always said when refering to mints. For best results eat 4 or 5 fishermans friends and then a pint of ice cold water.

maxi - Victory V's used to contain chloroform and ether in the 1980's which gave them their distinctive taste but now these ingredients have been banned so they don't taste anything like as good :) !
