Candy nostalgia

Glico is marketing Tic Tacs in Japan now. I hadn’t realised I’d missed them until I tasted their imitation vanilla coating. Ah, childhood memories….

When Zoupi returned from Belgium, he brought some original Belgian Frisk mints with him. They’re blue! And they have sorbitol in them, the stuff that gives Velamints their slippery texture (and laxative properties).

Penguin has a new flavor of their caffeinated mints–chocolate mint. Tod imports cases of the regular, cinnamon red and decaffeinated “lights” and sells them at the office. I guess he’ll be offering a new variety after the next order.
