Ice Breakers Wintergreen Mints, Sugar-Free, 42g Tin (Pack of 8)

Ice Breakers Wintergreen Mints deliver a crisp, invigorating burst of freshness in a compact, portable tin. These sugar‑free mints are infused with tiny cooling flavor crystals that melt in your mouth, giving a long-lasting cooling sensation and a clean, minty finish. The flavor is a classic wintergreen — crisp, slightly sweet, and very refreshing — perfect for when you need a quick breath freshener or a little pick-me-up.

Each tin contains around 42 g of mints, making it easy to carry in your bag, pocket, car, or desk drawer. The tin has a snap-close lid, which ensures the mints stay fresh and prevents them from spilling.

Key Features

1. Sugar‑Free Formula

   • These mints are sugar-free, making them a lower-calorie alternative compared to sugared breath mints.

   • The sweetening is done via sugar alcohols like sorbitol, and a small amount of aspartame.

2. Cooling Crystals

   • The mints are built with micro “flavor crystals” that dissolve and give an extra cooling effect beyond just the mint flavor.

   • This helps sustain the freshness — the cooling effect lingers as the crystals melt.

3. Low Calorie

   • Each mint is very low in calories, with approximately 2–5 kcal per mint.

   • Sugar-free and using sugar alcohols, these have fewer calories than traditional sugared mints.

4. Portable & Shareable Packaging

   • The tin (42 g / 1.5 oz) is small and convenient, ideal for carrying around — in a purse, car, drawer, or pocket.

   • The snap-close lid lets you dispense just one mint when needed, or multiple when sharing.

5. Ingredients Transparency

   • Ingredients include: Sorbitol, Maltitol, Maltodextrin, Artificial Flavor, Aspartame, Magnesium Stearate, Gum Acacia, Soy Lecithin, and artificial color (Blue 1, Yellow 5).

   • Contains soy (from lecithin).
