Starlight Peppermint Mints Hard Candy (2 Pound Bag - Approx. 150 Count)

Great product! Tastes like good old fashioned peppermint candies!

These mints are better than I expected. Good price and amazing taste. 10/10 would buy again.

I've ordered this bulk product twice now and can say that the mints themselves are just what you'd expect. The wrappers on these things are enough to give a guy fits though. You may think I'm being hyperbolic, until you attempt to unwrap hundreds of these candies over several months and find that every freaking one is an absolute pain to open. You may think, how hard is it dumdum? And you'd normally be spot on. I can only surmise that an evil genius is employed at this factory whose diabolical plan is to slowly drive average customers to the brink. Don't believe me? It only costs you 12 bucks to experience it for yourself. That said, I decided not to do this to myself again and simply purchased the most recent bag at Walmart. I bought 50% more product at Walmart for half the price (stupid me for not checking before) and the few I have enjoyed thus far were opened without incident.

Wrappers were difficult to remove, like almost stuck to candy

I've bought these five previous times from the same seller. Other than the wrappers being a bit fussy, and usually about a dozen that are unwrapped, the quality has been good. However, the last batch was definitely stale. They were a bit soft and sticky, lacking the smooth feel and solid crunch when bitten, and did not have the usually bright and strong peppermint taste. The taste was a bit odd. I love peppermint candy and k ow when it is stale. I thought it was a few, but after 10 or so,I realized that I got a bad batch. It was kind of gross so I threw them in the trash. I gabe a four star because five previous batches were good so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I will give them second chance, but must admit to being hesitant. They had to know the batch was bad.
