Does anyone know what company distributes these? I haven't seen them in NZ and I'd like to get hold of some. I tried their website and couldn't find anything there. I've tried googling for NZ pages with them on also, and no luck.
I constantly have peppermint Mentos in my mouth, while they do calm my anxiety a bit (placebo effect?) and they taste nice, I don't think they have any actual peppermint oil in them.
Have any Australians seen them for sale over there?

Nope, but I've been doing the same. Masses of mentos. Doesn't help the tummy one bit. I was thinking maybe they were like those red and white peppermint wheels that used to be everywhere. Can't find those anymore either though.

..a search for you all and I came across this site that has them, but you have to call to order them, you can't do it online. And it says they ship worldwide and I believe that the order is for a package of 12 tins.
Then there's this one and they ship to both of your places. You can do this one online and the order is also for a pack of 12 tins. And it says they have a deal where if you spend $49 you get free shipping, though I'm not sure if that's viable for all shipping locations.
Then there's also this site that says they ship worldwide. The pack only has 2 tins of Altoids, and I think if you compare it to the others, the price per tin might be a little more on these, but not too bad.
So that's really all I could find, but I hope one of those works out for you guys. I know that peppermint altoids are my biggest IBS lifesaver and work better for me than my prescription medication. Well good luck!!

We have a little confectionery shop in a tourist plaza near by and I called them and they only had watermelon left but will be getting the peppermint ones in next week. They stock them on a regular basis so if you go through the yellow pages and look up "confectionery" and ring around you might be able to find some too. Let me know how you go!

Thanks, Brittany and Amy.
I might try a ring-around because the shipping was more expensive than the mints!

I hope you find some! I love these things! Pop a couple after a meal and I'm good to go as far as cramping goes.

Hi Emma, have never heard of altoids before but just checked them out on the website Brittany found. I'll do some scouting around the Australian websites and see if I can find someone who stocks them.
Might even try them myself Peppermint tea works really well for me but is not always practical.
