On Halls Fruit Breezers:

Phoemeister: they just put in the mint taste so that you think they're medicine, but they're not really
Sui: yeah it's the menthol
Phoemeister: I don't think they even put in menthol. At least in the ones I ate. They literally put in mint flavoring.
Sui: hmm actually you're right
Sui: I thought it said "with menthol"
Sui: but the little lable actually says "no menthol"
Sui: well non-mentholated
Phoemeister: lol
Phoemeister: ha! You're just eating mint flavored candy!
Phoemeister: though I think they have vitamin C
Phoemeister: but everything has vitamin C
Sui: They do have Pectin in them
Sui: and yeah, vitamin c
Phoemeister: pectin doesn't do anything
Phoemeister: they put pectin in jam
Phoemeister: it's that waxy stuff on the outside of an apple
Sui: it's an "oral demulcent" as they say on the bag ; )
Phoemeister: psh. Your Mom's an oral demulcent

the only thing that's real
are the kids that kid themselves
and the demise
of the beautiful
