All peppermint doesn't taste the same. Too often I have had peppermint sticks that didn't contain much actual peppermint. These hit the spot! I didn't recall that Atkinson even made mint sticks. I'm glad they do and they're my new favorite now! I bought several tubs of 52 pieces each, so that should last me awhile 👍 My order was well packed by 'Sara' and arrived here in perfect condition.
