Like most things, Silvermints have shrunk..... or maybe it's just me being bigger.

Ruu_Old

I think lots of goodies are getting smaller, especially Curly Wurlys

The addictive properties of silvermints are indeed quite disturbing. Roumer has it that the government invented them in order introduce Irish working class children to heroine. Thank You Charlie!

Oh yes, they were indeed great back in the day.
I remember my Uncle used to give 'em to me.

Don't ever remember buying them on my own accord though.

yah,
i'm pretty sure they lived and multiplied in my grannies handbag.
guaranteed to find some there now.

Does anybody remember a variant on Silvermints, Cinnamon flavour ! Yum Yum.

I got aspirin tablets in France that look like silvermints (a bit bigger though) and I think that they help me feel better from a psychological pt of view due to this resemblance. Solid and reassuring.

Viva la silverment siempre!

Yeah the cinnamon ones were nice, hadn't seen them in ages and then I went to a friends party in Cork and her boyfriend had some. I kinda preferred the XXX mints that were out. They were kinda the daddies of the mints at that stage I think. Many a happy day was spent watching the expression on their faces when they were eating them.... :eek: <--- you know... the surprised and horrified look lol

So, used anyone else play "first communion" with silvermints?

I think I saw a new variety of silvermint recently, extra strong or something.

I loved the way they'd melt in your mouth after a little while. yummy

Silverments. Legendary sweet. Still on sale, gonna have to buy a pack when i go to back into collage (a lad was eatin a pack the other day, big mistake). On the XXX note, wasnt mad about them. Didnt like the way i couldnt drink water for bout ten minutes after and when i did it burned even more.
