I've always called them "Canadian" mints.
Anyone know where they got thier name?
My Grandmother always had them when I was a kid and we just got her a new bag the other day. I found it funny that they're made by necco in the USA.
:lol:

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about; nor have I ever heard of "Canada Mints." The only Canadian Mint that I know of is where they produce our currency.
Please, elaborate.

I've never seen or heard of this product before today.
They're not easy to find. I guess I could compare them to altoids but they're not as strong and they are more chalky, bigger, flat and round
I figure it would be any interesting question to toss out on here

News to me.
You can tour the "Royal Canadian Mint" down the street from my apartment. They weigh the natural metals in each employee's bodymass upon entry and exit to make sure nobody's smuggling loonies in their, uhh... change purses.

After looking at the site I know exactly what kind of mint they are. But I think we just call them mints. Definitely not distributed under the same name or by the same company. I have seen the pink, white, and green ones.
Interesting name on them though...
