Momints is a breath mint manufactured by Yosha Enterprises Corporation. (Although Yosha is a Japanese word, the company is based in the United States.)
Description
An iridescent, translucent sphere resembling a glass bead, Momints are one of the smallest commercially available mints. Momints are described by the manufacturer as a "liquid mint". The liquid mint solution (not true mint, as Momints contain no mint oil) is encased in a soluble gelatin shell. Biting the shell releases the liquid contents.
Momints are packaged in a transparent plastic package[2], designed to fit into a watch pocket. The box is a rectangular solid, except that at one short end the top slopes down to meet the base. The other end contains a hinged door, which opens to give to access to an internal chute. Individual Momints may be dispensed through this chute. This package is styled the "E-Z Slide Pack".
28 Momints are contained in each package.
Variations
None.[3]
Notes
^ The list of ingredients given on the package is at variance with the list at momints.com. The latter omits glycerin, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium, and adds silicon dioxide.
^ Momints are also packaged in transparent 8-count plastic tubes, sold wrapped in opaque silver foil, but the product is otherwise identical to regular Momints.
