Customer Reviews of Xlear Spry Berryblast Mints, 240 Pieces
Customer Review: Non-minty mints
Summary: 5 Stars
I know when I hear the word "mint" I have expectations of mint flavour so I didn't know what to expect from these. There is NO mint flavour, only raspberry flavour. They're delicious!Customer Review: Good treat for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
My 20 month old son loves these. I give them as potty training treats instead of sugary candy. The taste is great, although I wish they cost a little less!Customer Review: Great sugar-flavor that's good for your teeth!
Summary: 4 Stars
Let me start off by admitting that I thought I was going to be getting Spry berry flavored gum when I purchased this product. The package looks identical to the Spry gum packages and I just assumed it was gum, despite the 'mints' labeling. However after popping the first piece in my mouth, I knew this was not the case.
After a brief moment of disappointment, I was then hit by the realization that these taste really good! While it wasn't the gum I was expecting, I am still glad I got them.
When you first open the package you will get a strong odor resembling very closely the smell of Strawberry favored Nesquik milk. Even the color of these mints is pink. Not unlike its smell, the taste is very much similar to the strawberry flavored Nesquik milk as well. Very smooth sweet sugar-like taste, which has a surprisingly 'creamy' flavor texture to it. They remind me of some other sugar-flavored candies I have had in the past, but I just can't put my finger on it at the moment. Either way these are extremely tasty, and it wouldn't be hard to eat 2-3 dozen in one sitting!
As for the texture of these candies (which I will call candy, since they are definitely not mints) is tough at first with similarity in flavor, feeling and hardness to a jaw-breaker, then has a 'crumbly' texture once you bite down on them. But at first they are quite hard, so if you have weak teeth, beware not to just grab a handful and start chewing. After a few seconds of mouth-acid breakdown, they are easily chewed (or sucked on).
Overall I am presently surprised. I have had a few different Xylitol flavored 'mints' (Epic Dental fruit flavored Xylitol mints for example, which are still really good BTW) in the past, and these just might be the most interesting and tastiest. And you cannot beat the fact that they are good for your teeth! In a way it feels wrong to indulge on these because they taste so much like real sugar candies. But then you remind yourself that they are essentially the exact opposite of sugar, and you pop in a few more pieces!
However, I am docking one star because as others have pointed out, there is Chinese raw materials used in this product (I would assume the Xylitol is from China). And like others, when it comes to food, I do not trust Chinese products. Most everything is made in China nowadays, but I draw the line when it comes to things I am going to ingest. But they taste so good you are willing to look the other way to enjoy these. Although I probably wouldn't get them again for this reason. Once Spry stops using China based raw materials for their gum and mints, I might just become a lifetime buyer. But until then, I will stick to other mint and gum products not influenced by Chinese materials.
Customer Review: Raspberry Spry Mints
Summary: 4 Stars
I love these mints. They are a great deal for your money and have no dyes, preservatives, or anything else (e.g., aspartame or saccharin) that is bad for me. I definitely recommend them.Customer Review: Taste Good but Made in China!
Summary: 3 Stars
My dentist told me to get these mints to stop tooth decay. They taste great and I would have no problem EXCEPT that they are made in China. I didn't know that when I ordered them. After reading about the poisonous toothpaste, lead based toys and deadly dog food, I do not trust pharmaceuticals or other edibles compounded in China.
