This product is outstanding! A wonderful rare find in 100% xylitol-sweetened peppermint mints. Made in USA! You won't find anything similar anywhere else. Perfect size, taste and texture. I hope Spry Gems natural & sugar free domestically produced mints never get discontinued.

These mints are excellent! I purchased these after my dentist recommended trying candy with Xylitol in them (as it is good for your teeth). The Berry flavor is my favorite. These mints are cooling and minty, with a slight sweet “berry” flavor. These mints are not too hard or too soft and chalky. They have NO bad after-taste, and they leave your mouth feeling fresh for a while after the mint is gone. These Spry Gems are much better tasting than the regular Spry Xylitol Mints. I highly recommend these mints (they are among my 2 favorite brands)!I bought several brands of mints with Xylitol in them (all brands I tried are pictured with the mints under the package – I have included pennies in the pictures to show the size of mints). Below is a short review/description of the mints I tried:Spry Xylitol Mints, Natural Berry Blast – Mints are small and round. The taste is not bad, but the mint or berry is not very strong. These mints are very “smooth” and they have a slight after-taste that I don’t care for. I really like to other Gem Mints by Spry, though. I would purchase these mints again, if other brands were not available, but they are not my favorite.Spry Xylitol Mints, Natural Peppermint – These mints are small, smooth, and round, and like the berry flavor, have an after-taste that I do not care for. I would purchase these mints again, if other brands were not available, but they are not my favorite.ACT Dry Mouth Lozenges Soothing Mint - These mints feel and taste more like a cough drop than a mint. They have a light mint flavor, and they also have a slight after-taste that I don’t care for. I do not recommend these mints, and I would not purchase these mints again.PUR Mints Aspartame Free Peppermint – These mints are excellent! They are the most like Altoids that I tried. They have a strong cooling and mint taste (they are not as strong as Altoids, but they have a similar consistency/hardness as Altoids). These mints have NO after-taste. I highly recommend these mints!PUR Mints Aspartame Free, 100% Xylitol, Tangerine Tango - These mints are excellent! They are the most like Altoids that I tried. They have a strong cooling and mint/fruit taste (they are not as strong as Altoids, but they have a similar consistency/hardness as Altoids). These mints have NO after-taste. These are my favorite mints containing Xylitol! I highly recommend these mints!Please mark if you find my review helpful. Thank you so much!

I purchased these mints for myself, I have actually tried several of Spry's xylitol mints at this point, and the Spearmint are definitely my favorite. They are very similar to icebreakers in taste, but not quite as intense with the cooling effect as those. I don't have any problem with them lasting as long as any other mint as long as I am sucking on them instead of chewing them. And none of the breath mints on the market last very long if you chew them. And you have to understand, mints and I of many different brands go way, way back. Way back, as in I've been crushing on one brand or another most of my life.I have also had a multi pack of all of the gem flavors that spry offers, and I do like the lemon and the berry ones, but the flavor on those is milder and less intense, just in case you are considering those. I also really like the peppermint ones, they remind me of Altoids. Now, as far as I'm concerned at this point Spry's xylitol mints are wildly superior to the Altoids because of the lack of sugar, and it also is a definite benefit for me that studies have shown xylitol to reduce the bacteria that cause dental cavities, because I'm pretty sure I have past use of Altoids to thank in part for the latest rash of dental work I had done. The cinnamon gems I wasn't as fond of, but their Cinnamon dental defense mints are awesome.I also have to mention that my 11 year old also really loves these mints and hasn't noticed a difference between them and the sugared kind. So we love these in this house and definitely plan on ordering more in the future...
