Smint Tins Spearmint 35g - where to find?

rapido

Looking to find the above. They come in a metal tin like this, I believe they are officially called "Smint XL":





The mints are much larger than the tiny ones that come in the plastic dispenser boxes.

I have only seen these in the Netherlands (where they are sold everywhere)... BUT I also saw them on sale in a small shop in Uxbridge a few months back (but peppermint, not spearmint - still bought a tin).

I check every shop I go past, but no luck so far.

Any ideas?

This site shows that they are apparently available at Asda...?

There is no Asda local, and I haven't been to one for years.

Just wondering if anyone has spotted these in Asda? As it might be worth making a special trip, if so!

OH is addicted to these so always on the lookout.

Currently getting them from Wilkinsons at £1-08 but they only have the blue packs (where I get them anyway).

Boots did have them but have now reverted to the smaller packs again and charge the same money as the big ones :mad:

Well I went to Aldi, and sadly I didn't find Smint XL tins.

However I did find "Complimints" from Dominion (an Aldi brand) which seem to be based on the same idea. 99p a tin.



I bought the "Spearmint Sugar Free" one, there are 50 mints inside, like Smint, but it's only 25g, not 35g. So they are slightly smaller mints. Round not triangular, but still two tone.

The taste is not bad. Like Smint XL, the flavour is not "chewing gummy". However the mint taste is a little weak for my liking, and it seems a bit too sweet.

Perhaps I'm a bit too picky, but I still will be looking out for my favourites I found a few online shops selling them, but all in other countries, sadly.

Just found Smint XL Peppermint at my local Tesco - £1.25 a tin.

There was no label on the shelf, and it was almost hidden behind other stuff.

Didn't find any spearmint, but I still bought a couple of tins!

You tried ebay, amazon, not sure if you would find them on them 2 but worth a shot
