If you are an American, looking for the special Strawberry Fields Tic Tacs that have been released around Valentine's Day in the past - bad news - this isn't it. This is the British version (or at least mine were shipped from Great Britain).Some important things to know: The listing says the product will contain twelve (12) packs containing one (1) ounce each. In fact, I received twenty four (24) packs, containing 0.635 ounces (18 grams) each. So, I ordered what I thought would be 12 ounces, and got 15.25 ounces, which I guess is okay, but is not what was listed.The ingredients appear to be roughly the same, though the flavor is not quite as good as what I remember...Also, the listing shows UPC code 0980000740, but the product that I received shows the code 80800019. So, in my opinion, this appears to be the British, smaller, less flavorful version of what I was looking for. I haven't seen the American version in quite awhile, so maybe this British version is the only one still around?There are other listings that *correctly* show this alternate product, so I have provided feedback to Amazon that *this* product listing is incorrect, and should probably be corrected. I have chosen to keep the product; all in all, paying approximately $1.75 per pack is not completely outrageous, considering they had to be shipped across the Atlantic Ocean, and I haven't been able to find them anywhere locally...These are the devil; I've been feasting on them and only them for 3 months straight; low calorie, no fat, little to no sugar! It makes for an amazing diet and tastes great! PROS: Tasty, less money spent on groceries, no pesky dishes to do or lunches to pack CONS: Extreme weight loss, hair loss, vitamin deficiency, extreme calorie deficit and a constant pinkish stain on your teeth and mouth. But GOD its worth it! TIC TAC BRING THESE BACK!!!!!!!I paid a very high dollar amount for seriously discolored and obviously stale Tic Tacs. The individual who packaged these should have seen these were severely discolored and obviously stale. My money should be refunded but apparently these are not available for return so this may be my only recourse.I paid good money for these and received very old tic tacs. They were chewy instead of crunchy and they had lost their mint color. I would like a refund because the product is not what it is betrayed.I think there's something addicting about these tic tacs, I can't get enough of them! I probably shouldn't admit that I eat them like candy, (so I don't have to feel bad about eating candy).... As for the primary purpose of a tic tac, as a breath freshener, well, your breath sort of smells like... Nothing. They'll take away the bad breath smell, but you won't be breathing fields of strawberries on anyone. I think all tic tacs give you a weird after taste after a bit, which is easily solved by having some more! The taste isn't overwhelming like some of those other favors out right now, it's more like a hint of strawberry, ever so slightly minty, a little sugary. They're also a little softer than other tic tacs, and that's probably why I eat them like I do! In India the slogan for tic tacs is "refreshment to be shared".... It's a good thing I'm not in India, because sharing these tic tacs is NOT my strong suit.I was skeptical at first about buying tic tacs from Amazon. But to my surprise they were extremely fresh and the expiration date was a good year plus away. Even in some stores where I but these they may be a week or so from expiration. They were delivered with in like 2-3 days max. Great price since your paying on average $1.59 in a store and these come out to about .90 - $1.00 delivered to your door.This is my absolute favorite flavor of Tic Tacs and one of my favorite candies, overall. I was looking for something that had no chemical dyes and...TA-DA! This flavor doesn't have any and it tastes magical. My kids love them, too! Last time I shared them with a room full of friends, everyone thought they were fantastic and was trying them for the first time. LOVE LOVE LOVE these!It is OLD. I have been buying this product for years and I know that the pink color is NOT supposed to be white!!
