Can you incorporate spicy elements into a mint flavor? For instance, I would love to somehow create a peppermint, spearmint or even wintergreen flavor candy that has an element of spiciness in it. I love wintergreen - I am not going to lie. But I think it needs to be taken to the next level. Take for example a mint combined with the spicy qualities of something such as a 'Hot Tamale' candy or an 'Atomic Fireball'. A little kick in the balls; but nothing too crazy. Also, I was thinking about this a little more. Those 3 mints are the three big players in the mint world. There are a lot of candy variations based on the those "root" mint tones. (Is root a good name for those three floavors?) Will there ever be another main player in the mint world that comes out of nowhere? Something to rival peppermint, spearmint or wintergreen? Someone please step it up. Can the Phoenix Foundation do anything to help here?
My mother would always give me candy as a kid to shut me up, except she hated when I crunched down. "Stop crunching! Or I will take the candy away from you!" she would tell me. It didn't really work one bit. Yes, crunching down on hard sugar candy is bad for your teeth and will most likely give you cavities in the long run. But what if it is sugar free candy? Can you crunch down on that without the fear of cavities or bad stuff getting in your teeth? I say this because someone over in the cube next to me has sugar free giant size life savers I like to eat.
