Customer Review: Not what I was expecting.
Summary: 1 Stars
I had seen these over on ThinkGeek, and had planned on ordering a tin for myself when I purchased my Christmas gifts. As luck would have it though, they were sold out, and so I sought them out here on Amazon instead. The cost was pretty ridiculous with the shipping, but ThinkGeek had played them up so much and really insisted that they tasted like real cupcakes that I just had to try some. And I mean, come on, they're CUPCAKE flavored mints. Who can resist that? They sound like they would be absolutely delicious, right?
Right.
...Unfortunately, sound and taste are two very different senses, and my taste buds weren't really in agreement with my ears. Since they arrived two weeks ago, I haven't eaten more than three or four of these things, and though I've tried to pawn them off on friends and family, I've still got them because no one else wants them, either. The taste isn't bad, really, but it's just not really good, either. When you first pop one of these things into your mouth, you get a really fake, slightly tart sugary taste. Once you bite into them, you get a bit of crappy vanilla flavoring mixed with a more powerful fake sugar taste, and...that's about it. My brother claims he can taste a bit of blueberry flavoring when he bites into them, but I haven't really tasted that myself. The point is, they taste nothing at all like cupcakes.
All in all, these aren't gross or disgusting or anything, but again, they're not good either, and if you're going to pay that much just to ship a little tin of these to your front door, they should taste a lot better than this. If I'm buying cupcake mints, I want them to taste like cupcakes.
My advice? Skip these.
