Tag: Real mint

Altoids' distinctive, powerful flavor is famously marketed as "curiously strong," a slogan used since the 1920s. But do Altoids have real mint in them, or is it a laboratory concoction? The answer lies in the classic Peppermint variety's ingredients list, which explicitly includes "Oil of Peppermint" as a natural flavoring.

According to ingredient lists from Girl Scout cookie supplier ABC Bakers, their Thin Mints include 'PEPPERMINT OIL' alongside 'NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR'. This explicit inclusion raises the question, **Do Thin Mints have real mint?** and highlights the complex world of food labeling for a balanced nutrition diet.
