I have been contemplating this a lot lately and I have been wondering why, why oh why would altoids decide to get rid of this, it was my absolute favorite and was something that made their brand stand apart from the typical mints they sell. These were so amazing, the tangerine flavor was truly incredible and mouth watering and the sour coating was just enough to be enjoyable, but not too much to make it painful like Warheads extremes, which are almost not very fun to eat. I have never found a good answer, just that one day they were discontinued and I could not find them. Luckily I purchased a big box at that time but I was running out already as I gave them away often as little gifts to friends and family. I could have had many left over, but I think that by sharing them I probably helped make the world a bit happier so I am ok with that turn of events.
