Concentrated energy, 26 January 2010
By Ben
The original and still the best (actually, probably the only) 'mint cake'. Massive amounts of quick-release energy in an easy to carry form. Tastes of mint (who'd have thought?) with the packaging having a fetching blue and white motif. Packaging is slightly water resistant (not for long) and the contents is mighty tasty.
Tablet comes lightly scored for easy breaking into mouth-sized pieces.
Try the chocolate-covered and brown versions.
