You may remember my review and giveaway of Silk Heart Health milk last week!
When the giveaway ended, I promised you a repeat giveaway! Why? The first batch of coupons got stuck at the post office since I was not home to receive them. Jason was nice enough to send me a 2ND batch of coupons. Well, I ended up receiving both sets of coupons (about 20 of them) last week! I really do not need 20 free half gallons of milk so I decided to give away more coupons this week! There will also be extra surprise goodies which I will talk more about below!
Jason sent me samples of another product to try yesterday called HALLS Refresh.
HALLS Refresh™ is a brand new Mouth Moistening product with Advanced Moisture Action.™ It is a great tasting, sugar-free drop that has been specially formulated to help moisten your mouth. It is available in three, mouth-watering flavors: Juicy Strawberry, Tropical Wave and Refreshing Mint.
- A new mouth watering hard candy specially formulated to help moisten your mouth
Advanced Moisture Action™ formula - Sugar Free and may be incorporated into the diet of diabetics and others who are monitoring their sugar intake
- Available in 9-piece sticks and 20-count resealable bag
- Only 6 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrates per drop
- 0 grams of sugar per drop
**HALLS® products may be used by adults and children 5 years and over. For children under 5 years, ask a doctor.
Last night I tried both the Juicy Strawberry and Tropical Wave.
I loved the little specks in the candies!
They were both delicious and refreshing. I think most people would expect them to taste like a cough drop since they are made by HALLS but they were more like a fruity hard candy. They lasted pretty long too. They were great at moistening my mouth and were a yummy treat after dinner. I’m going to be honest here and say that I don’t think I would purchase them for a few reasons.
1) The ingredients:
Tropical Wave: Isomalt; Less than 2% of: Acesulfame Potassium, Beta Carotene, Blue 1, Blue 2, Natural and Artificial Flavoring, Red 40, Soy lecithin. Sucralose.
Sugar-free products usually bother my tummy because of the artificial ingredients. I’ve been trying to eliminate them and stick with clean, real foods.
2) I typically don’t ever want hard candy. I really only crave gum when my mouth is bored or dry. I am also trying to decrease my gum intake because of the artificial sweeteners.
For people who like hard candy and mints, this is a great product.

The Halls Refresh look very tasty, and your blog post about them has piqued my interest! Would love to try them. As far as what my favorite candy is, I would have to say chocolate covered cherries!
[Reply]
I'm not a huge candy person. I guess I'd say Warheads though.
Chocolate however? That's a different story. 3 Musketeers, Snickers, Reese's PB Cups, whatever. I'm not picky.
