Had unpleasant reaction - YMMV

I must be the only person on the planet who gets heartburn from these peppermints. I love the super strong pepperminty taste but boy, they definitely do not love me back. I think I could actually be allergic, because not only did they turn my stomach, they made my mouth feel scratchy and irritated and weird. Ack! So, the lesson is this: if the first peppermint makes your throat hurt and a few minutes after ingesting it you feel sick to your stomach, chances are the second one will do the same. I tried one when they first arrived, enjoyed it, but felt a bit yucky about 10 minutes afterwards. I tried another one a few days later, thinking the first time must have been a fluke, but it happened again--only worse. Needless to say it was no fluke, and I won't touch them again. I should say I have nothing against the company, Yum Earth. I love their other candies, the fruit lollipops, etc. They're a great outfit making delicious, healthy snacks.
