It depends on the brand, same with mint-flavored candies, some local and traditional made ones tasted really good with this sweet and soft mint flavor, mint chocolate chips ice-creams also used to taste really good, but when several brands got replaced or absorbed by big companies, that flavor in particular got to taste like thoothpaste, it is like this hard candies from certain brands that slowly dissolved in the mouth, they had some decent mind flavored ones before, now lots of those candies are flavored as if they were some weird mentol concentrated to the point it freezes and numbs your mouth and clears the fricking nosetrills so much that it hurts when breathing.
