This will probably be one of the cheapest products I will ever blog, but quite possibly one of my favourites.  Quite a few years ago (wont tell you how many as it reminds me how fast time has gone by) I went on a trip to the US to meet my partner at the time, who I went onto marry.  I had the most fantastic holiday and loved trying all the different things you could buy in the States.

If you have ever been to one of their Supermarkets you will know what I mean, the cereal isle alone is almost as much fun to visit as going to a movie and as amusing.  I mean have you ever seen so much choice it kept me entertained for ages. 

So whilst hanging out with some of our American friends I got to try what’s called Big Red Gum, apparently it’s famous in the States and everyone knows what Big Red Gum is, it appears you either love it or hate.  Guess which one I was?

Well you can’t buy it New Zealand and even though I bought some home it ran out very quickly, I have only managed to find it at one diary that stocked it since my trip, so imagine my excitement when a friend told me about Eclipse Cinnamon Sugar free mints.  They taste exactly the same.

The best part about them is they are Sugar Free and given that they are mints not chewing gum they don’t loose their flavour after five minutes, bonus.

So if you have ever had Big Red this is your lucky day, or if you think this sounds like you might like the taste, give them a go I did and keep a packet with all the time.

I have since gone onto try other Eclipse Mints in their range and really love them as well, they are extremely easy to transport around in your handbag and are in a good container which closes tightly so it wont come open.  You also get 50 mints in one container so they last for quite a while.

Oh and by the way they freshen your breath, funny that bit never occurred to me, I only bought them because they taste good and every time I have one I get this nice feeling of good memoires of my trip.

Available:All leading Supermarkets (usually located at checkout)    Price:$2.59
