Ice Breakers Sours Sugar-free Mints

Ice Breakers I'm a confessed snack-a-holic. I don't know why that is, but I do know better than to keep snacks in my house, because I have no will power. A huge part of that is that I just like to be munching on something when I have a tedious task to do. I've discovered that having mints and gum around help with that somewhat. But, I have to be mindful of hidden calories too, so I often get the sugar free version of things. Enter, Ice Breaker Sours. They are sugar free mints with flavors such as pink lemonade, apple, tangerine and watermelon, all in one container.

These mints are so flavorful, it's unbelievable. They are both sour and sweet at the same time. I like sour mints, and you will have to also, if you are going to enjoy these. It's definitely a welcome change from the traditional peppermint flavored mints. No calories, fat, sugar or anything really, it's definitely worth a try.

I like them but I get a weird reaction when I eat them, depending on the location of where I suck the mint in my mouth it will literally eat away my flesh, like if I suck on it mainly on my tongue it will feel like I burned it on hot food and if I move it around my flech on the inside of my cheeks become loose like I had been chewing my them, it's not as bad as it sounds I don't bleed or anything it's just annoying really... anyways they are good =)

..my friends and I are all totally addicted...but we've discovered that if you eat like an entire container it creates a laxitive effect. There's a new flavor out though! It's the tropical one in an orange container...sugar-free of course, but it says they have calories. (2 per mint) This makes me think they could've made a mistake on their other two flavors (the green and the purple). Could they all have calories afterall?

Thus there are about 100 calories per entire container. 50ish mints are a lot. No biggie.

They are so unbelievably delicious, but the high levels of fake sugar (Splenda or whatever) can give you some really painful gas if you eat too many at once. I once was starving somewhere where there was no food and I ate a whole box of them. About an hour later I was doubled over in pain... if I hadn't known what was causing the pain, I seriously would have thought I was dying and insisted on being taken to the ER. So I guess just eat a few, or be prepared for the result.

It says on the container "not a low calorie food" !!! what does that mean? I love these mints too but not if they have calories.

every kind of mint and gum out there has calories even if they're sugar-free. icebreaker sours gum have 3 calories/piece vs. 4.5 for sugared gum. If one kind of mint says 2/piece, then I will guarantee you all kinds have 2/piece. Thats nothing to worry about unless you plan on eating the whole container or maybe many on a consistent basis.

... and if you do happen to eat the whole container: trust me, you'll only do it once. The laxative effect is quite the deterrent. It took about 10 for it to kick in.

Yeah, I know someone who gets bad gas and diarhea from them. I'm sure it's the splenda, as I've heard similar reports from people who have cosumed other Splenda products.
