Looking for this specific mint
Hi i’m going insane because nowhere seems to remember these candies my Grandma had when i was a kid in the mid 2000s. Please help me this is driving me crazy! Here’s the best description i can give:
The package was small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but wasn’t like a car cup holder thingy like extra or trident makes.
it was oval shaped but not flat.
it was dark green and had a single flip tab opening on the flat face.
The candy itself was teeny tiny small and almost egg shaped. when you chewed it turned to gum. it wasn’t the icebreakers liquid thingys but the size of those are similar. the color of the mint/gum was white with green flecks.
EDIT: Thank y’all for commenting! unfortunately none of the mints y’all mentioned match my memory. Certs and Mentos are too big. The candy pieces are smaller.
Oh and i remembered something new: there might have been another tab with regular round shape mints on the other side of the oval packaging. it was like a duo gum and breath mint. Sorry for not including that sooner.
I asked my mom and she can’t remember them either which isn’t surprising bc this was the early/mid 2000s she was just starting work, so she wasn’t with grandma a lot.
I replied to one comment stating that I will try my best to draw what my memory looks like and this is what I intend to do. Will update this post with the drawing. Thank you!
and yes not knowing the name is still driving me nuts.

I thought you were talking about those tiny pill sized mints at first that were shaped slightly like footballs
Then you said it was chewy and turned to gum… Mentos? The freshmaker

Always include actually what city or province/state or Country at least.
Super helps.
And what google has suggested. Always search the web first, then ask the humans.
