Sugar Free Altoids Small Wintergreen: Product Review

If you are like me and avoid mints because of the sugar content, your worries are over. Altoids has come out with a new mint that is not only small, but sugar free too!

Sugar Free Altoids Small Wintergreen

Sugar Free Altoids Small Wintergreen
Mints come in a tin just like the regular Altoids, only this one is smaller to accommodate the smaller size mints. The tin contains 50 mints in the wintergreen flavor.

Altoids have a reputation of being a strong flavored mint and this carries over to the smaller size version also. These mints pack a nice portion of flavor for the size. The wintergreen flavor comes from both natural and artificial flavorings.

Aside from being smaller than the regular Altoids mints, Sugar Free Altoids Small Wintergreen mints are as the name says....sugar free. You are reducing calories by choosing this version of Altoids. In fact, this mint has 35% fewer calories than the regular Altoid mint. Priced at around $1.99 a tin, they are priced in the same range as other similar products.

My Thoughts on Sugar Free Altoids Smalls

I am really impressed with this tiny little mint! I love wintergreen and the flavor that Sugar Free Altoids Small Wintergreen
Delivers is a somewhat strong flavor. Another words, you know you have had a mint after having one of these! In comparison to a regular size wintergreen mint of another brand and twice the size, the flavor is definitely equal.

Being sugar free is important to me. I like to have mints in my purse for after dinner and/or refreshing breath before meetings, etc. Sugar Free Altoids Small Wintergreen mints are easy to carry because the tin is so small, but they also fit nicely into a purse or pocket.
I also like the fact that this is a mint that I can share with my husband, who is a diabetic. Out of habit I often take a mint out of my purse after a dinner out and offer one to him, only to remember or be reminded by him that he can't eat my mints because they contain sugar. Not any more-we have that problem solved! I like the fact that I'm not compromising flavor and reducing calories.
