slo’s FRIDAY poll - Pep O Mint vs. Wint O Green Lifesavers

[slo]

Pep O Mint (blue bag) vs. Wint O Green (green bag) Lifesavers - which do you like more?



For Me….I like them both equally.
I’m looking at 2 big bags of each, that I bought yesterday, which inspired this poll.
I keep a mix of both, in a baggie. in my purse, 100% of the time. Most of the time I have both in my pocket (like 4-5 of them). I have an autoimmune disorder (Sjogren’s Syndrome) that causes dry mouth and dry eyes and when my mouth gets dry, my throat gets dry, I get a tickle in my throat and cough like crazy, This is never good when I’m somewhere quiet, like church, and in COVID times it’s not good because I don’t want people thinking I have COVID because I’m coughing. The Pep O Mint is best once that tickle has started (better than cough drops) and both are good to help prevent that tickle from starting. I also like having Lifesavers in my pocket for when I’m feeling hungry and won’t be eating for awhile. Needless to say, I always eat these when I’m not home.

I'm not big into mints but I guess I'd go with the green bag.

 

[Meriweather]

I don't use either......seldom use mints. I am a gum chewer.
If I were to buy them it would be the wintergreen ones

 

[MamaMermaid]

Either!

I don't buy Lifesavers often. I buy the wintergreen Altoids because they come in a convenient package to keep in my car's console.

When I buy Lifesavers, it's always wint o green.

I like Pep O Mint better, but I'll eat either. (My father-in-law ALWAYS has Wint O Green ones. I think my kids will remember him every time they see one.) Personally, I like the fruity Life Savers best, but I'm not super picky.)

I don’t like wintergreen or spearmint flavor. For peppermint, I prefer a very strong mint like Altoids. Life Savers aren’t strong enough.

If I had to take a mint it would be wintergreen over peppermint but spearmint over either of them if it was a choice. Peppermints were often the only candies in our house when I was a kid and I didn’t consider them much of a treat.

 

[RedAngie]

I haven’t had Life Savers in many years. But Wint o green was preferred over Pep o mint.

IMO, spearmint is only for mojitos and mint juleps.

I don’t buy candy mints much, but I really like mint. Wintergreen and spearmint are about equal and peppermint I like a bit less (though still really like it). I would gladly eat either Lifesaver but given the choice would pick the Wint O Green. I would choose Altoids over Lifesavers most of the time, too.

If we buy Life Saver we gram the blue bag Pep O mint. We do like the originals as well. We also buy the Life Savers Story Book packs for stocking stuffers.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I like Pep O Mint, but I very rarely buy Lifesavers or any hard candy mints. We do buy a lot of mint gum - mainly for my husband - and we buy the Extra Arctic Fresh.

 

[lovesmurfs]

Given a choice, peppermint over spearmint/wintergreen. Original Altoids are my preferred mint.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I almost never have one. Given a choice of a mint though, spearmint for me. Marie has mints all the time.

 

[Micca]

Peppermint, but haven't bought Life Savers in many years.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I had to pick Other, because I'm probably the only person on the planet who prefers Butter Rum Lifesavers.

 

[disneychrista]

Spearmint would be my choice but peppermint over wintergreen.

 

[Mysterian]

Blue bag. One of my coworkers and I would always get these when on inspection runs, and had to endure the Green bag when it was all that was left at the store. And there's a reason for the Blues being sold out, because they are objectively better.

 

[Mysterian]

We also buy the Life Savers Story Book packs for stocking stuffers.

They must have been doing those for decades, I remember getting these for Christmas in the mid-80's.
