i found these at my HFS and tried 'em 'cause the Ginger Altoids are hard to find, still, here ( my Target doesn't carry them, daggone it!).
anyway, Gin-Gins. they're pretty cool. Zesty. and not as "curiously strong" as the Altoids, so maybe some people who object to the strength of those might link the Gin-Gins. they're like little hard candies.
cheap, too!
mmm...... yummy.....

Don't know why everyone's so worried about finding these things. They are gross! I'll eat anything, but these make me gag. I'm throwing mine in the trash!!!!!!!!!!

No, Gerry, actually they're just a little hard candy that has a REALLY strong ginger flavor... but they can actually help your tummy because of all the ginger in them.
I actually found mine in a little chocolate store in Kensington Market (Toronto)! I'm still yet to see them in the US. I have to agree that they're not so great... a wee bit TOO strong for me. But I bet they'd be good at settling the tummy.

Well Altoids are strong mints that are made in the UK but available in North America. The ginger ones are supposedly helpful for our IBS because they help with cramps, nausea and indigestion. Here is the page about ginger: GINGER
Also here are pictures of the altoids! GINGER ALTOIDS PEPPERMINT ALTOIDS
