Choward'sMints Candy Variety Pack | Violet, Spearmint, Peppermint, Guava, and Lemon | Bold Aromatic Flavors | Perfect for Lunchboxes, Travel, Sharing, and Gifting | 10 Pack (15 Mints Per Package)

The first time I've had one of these candies was the violet flavored candy. I get nostalgic every time I have one since my Dad grew up on them as well. These are very unique and flavorful. Brand new in unopened package.

Loved them then; still love them today. Just as I remember them. Violet is my favorite. Has a definite floral taste. Truly Victorian and quaint nostalgia.

The media could not be loaded. These candies / mints are reminiscent of a "double-wide PEZ" in consistency and flavor... They're twice as wide as a usual PEZ, but very similar texture and flavor profiles.This particular Amazon item is a bagged set of FIVE flavors, TWO of each- PEPPERMINT- SPEARMINT- LEMON- GUAVA- VIOLETAs you'll notice from my Video, I reported a taste test of each flavor to see how they compare. Here's my analysis:VIOLET - This one's their flagship flavor from which Charles Howard launched the company back in 1934 NYC. Tastes kind of like sucking on a flower... a very tasty flower, but definitely that violet taste!GUAVA - This is probably one of their newer flavors; I doubt anyone was thinking guava 80 years ago. It's a hint of flavor; kind of like drinking one of those complex fruit drinks you find for $8 at the mallLEMON - Not surprisingly, this one has a lemony flavor, but it's really more a HINT of LEMON... it's definitely not as strong as I expected, and it even takes a few seconds in the mouth to discern it is lemon. SO, if you're looking for a KICK of lemon, this won't be it.SPEARMINT - This one is definitely the most pronounced and clear of flavors in this set. It's a very full and familiar flavor of mint that freshens the taste buds and pleases the palate with its sweetness and gentle caress.PEPPERMINT - Peppermint, I would have expected to also be a pronounced flavor. Although it might be a tad STRONGER flavor than the spearmint, the peppermint seems a bit muddled of a flavor, and although it definitely has the mint in there, it also has a kind of VANILLA and a bit of some other STARCHY flavor mixed in.So... there you have it. As a starter C. Howards (or Chowards) taster, you can't go wrong with this set!!

Growing up my grandma always had the violet and so it brings back memories and they're good. I have purchased the violet many times but decided to try the others as well and they are all pretty good especially the lemon, reminds me of a smarty the peppermint isn't too strong and the guava is pretty good too. the only issue is the break. up so easily.

Great tasting candies. Brings me back to my childhood.

I used to love getting the Violets as a kid because they were so unusual. Now and then I can still find them in specialty shops... but on a whim I decided to look up the product and found these other flavors available as well. The peppermint and spearmint are exactly as you expect, and the is light and refreshing. I never expected to see a guava flavored candy of this sort before, but I became an immediate fan! Now I have one pack at home and one at work and these will likely be a regular buy for me now!

Decent mints, but some were cracked and packages were busted.

The flavors are genuinely tasty, and the thin size of the mints mean that each package lasts longer. I will buy more of this flavor assortment.
