my aunt always kept a tin of these in her fantastic purses of wonder. She always offered me one, I always accepted. It always tasted like poop. "the grown-up chocolate mint"

My grandmother loved these - what an awesome memory

Do you know where one could still purchase Velamints?

nice taste, shame about the after-effect though.

CandyDirect.com has their own version called Re Vela chocolate mints. http://www.candydirect.com/Store/Detail.aspx?category=2218§ion=96&id=12667 "Re Vela Chocolate Mints A recreation of the classic velamint. If some of you remember Velamints, you will recall a smooth and rich chocolate mint taste. We searched long and hard for the sugar free Velamint recipe and found the original creators of Velamints who shared their recipe with us. The Velamints that used to be sold on this web site came in 12 tins which equaled approx 1 pound. We now sell Re Vela sugar free mints in 1 pound bags for a lower price than we previously sold Velamints."

My dentist still recommends them for people with dry mouth.

BEWARE OF THE VELAMINT. Not sure how organic they are but don't eat a whole role at a time. You'll spend the day in the bathroom but great for movement.

My favorite Velamint memory is that Joe Public song where, if you listen carefully, someone quite forcefully exclaims "Velamints taste good!".

I remember my dad having Velamints, weren't they square-shaped candies?

my grandma used to give me these circa 1984-1986ish they were awful
