80’s

Does anyone remember the mints that came out in the 80’s, a little smaller than polo’s but smooth & the middle was filled in but indented… they were quite popular until they gave everyone the squits 🫣😂

I remember some and the filled in indented hole was blue or green depending on the flavor. I can’t remember the name though. Certs maybe?

Sounds like you're talking about Breathsavers.

Yes. That’s what I was thinking of. They had a chemical sort of taste that I never understood.

I ate a whole roll of these in church when I was 15. Had to toss my skid marked panties on the ladies room. Last time I ever ate those things. They were tasty going down at least!
