I have had a strange experience with this Brach’s Lemon Drop. When I first began tasting the sandpaper texture across my tongue I couldn’t wait to begin a rant about bashing that you will see in a later blog on a candy that deserves it.

As I patiently gave the candy another chance, my opinion changed drastically. I no longer wanted to bash this Lemon Drop, I wanted to rep’ it. The texture is like no other and some people are even bound to think it is the best Lemon Drop candy they have ever tasted!

When the slight tang that is brought by the sandpaper around the outside of this egg shaped yellow candy wears away, the lemon comes on smooth in a sweet mild flavor.

Yellow, lemon shaped, sour, sweet; there aren’t many more adjectives that describe this simple Lemon Drop candy.

These Angel Mints really do seem to come from heaven. Not only does the smooth peppermint taste complement the airy melt in your mouth consistency of this chalky cylinder, but it has also been categorized as providing palliative therapy.

Palliative therapy is not a way to provide a cure for any diseases or disorders, but instead is used to enhance the quality of life and to provide comfort to patients. Other forms of palliative therapy are humor, massages, aromatherapy, and anything that helps to smooth out the mental energies, which in turn makes smooth the physical.

If Angel Mints can provide palliative therapy, then why wouldn’t all candy do the same? Peppermint oil is the answer. Studies have proven that peppermint oil is not only a calming agent but it reduces muscle spasms, heartburn, diarrhea, nausea and indigestion. These Angel Mints have been known to be very helpful for people undergoing chemotherapy treatment because the Angel Mints helps to them with a pleasant taste their mouths. These mints “treat the person, not the disease.”

Angel Mints were first distributed on the New Jersey Boardwalk in 1919. The K-H Machines used to cut the candy and wrap each piece in cellophane date back to 1915. As World War I raged, Angel Mints were first hitting the market and have now been calming people down for over 90 years.
