NO! I have been a serious lover of Junior Mints for years. I am 58 now and have just about had it. The last 5 boxes I have bought from different locations in NC have been awful. The sweet and soft mints were hard and bitter. I found myself squishing them between my fingers before they went into my mouth. Again today I bought a box and AGAIN hard mints. I have saved two of the boxes and as soon as I can get to the post office they will be sent to them with an explanation and hope they check their candies Before they are sent out to the public. I hate this Junior Mints have been my favorite and now what do I do? Thank You, C. Elkin [email protected]
