A selection of our favourite mints

Mints are ideal if you need a quick and easy means of freshening your breath or even aiding digestion, and of course, as anyone who has picked up some of their favourite mints at the newsagents or supermarket can testify, they're a tasty alternative to the usual sweets. Here, the experts in great foods at wholesale prices for everyone, Shorters Club (http://www.shortersclub.co.uk) takes a look at just some of the best. 

Tic Tacs – These mints certainly live up to their recent marketing as “refreshing little lifts”, and the even better news is that they are now available from us in 24 18g packs in such flavours as Strawberry Fields, Cherry Passion, Lime & Orange and Fresh Mint for under £10. Everybody knows that little plastic pack with its unmistakable rattle and flip top opening, while the small, oval pellets inside are barely less memorable, being suitably 'moreish' and uniquely sensual to eat - whether you suck, chew them or simply let them melt in your mouth. 

Trebor Extra Strong - For those that like their mints strong - and we do mean strong - there's only one brand to look out for...Trebor Extra Strong, of course! Whether you opt for the peppermint or spearmint variant, you can enjoy the combination of a great taste with a mere 180 calories per pack, or 9% of an adult's GDA. You'll also benefit from a great price when you buy yours from Shorters Club - or to be more specific, £17.26 for a pack of 40 45g rolls.  

Smint - You can pick up either the mint or peppermint versions of 8g Smint in packs of 12 right now from Shorters Club for a mere £8.75, down from the usual £11.10. What's more, when you do, you'll get to enjoy great breath-freshening mints, with Xylitol, that are also sugar-free. These minty candies are instantly recognisable, consisting of a triangular shape with an engraved 'S'. 

Polo - How could any rundown of the best mints be complete without any mention of possibly the UK's best known of all, the "mint with the hole"? Rowntree's introduced Polo pressed mints way back in 1948, and since then, generations have come to know and love the high quality peppermint oil that gives them their smooth, clean and fresh flavour. Here at the Shorters Club tuck shop, you can opt for a pack of 48 33.4g Polo Original rolls for just £18.64, or even a pack of 48 36g Polo Spearmint or 33.6g Polo Sugar Free rolls for £19.34. 

As you can see, if mints are your first choice of confectionery, then you certainly have no lack of choice before you! Visit http://www.shortersclub.co.uk to take a closer look at the complete range of mints on offer at Shorters Club.
