York Peppermint Patties

OFFICIAL SNACK REPORT
Sanctioned by WASAW Snack Committee

Reviewed By: Paddy O'Poppycock Location: Vending Machine OFFICIAL NAME OF SNACK: York Peppermint Patties PRICE: $.60 WEIGHT: 1.43 oz. DESCRIPTION OF SNACK: Three round circles of mint covered in chocolate. Thickness of three After Eight mints on top of each other. SSI RATING (SNACK SATISFACTION INDEX - 1-10): 6.5 UPSIDE: Nice calm and cooling snack. Mint taste is nice, and only 3 grams of fat in entire package. DOWNSIDE: When I bite into a York Peppermint Patty, I get the sensation that these mints are really small.

1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Sugar
Corn Syrup
Semi-sweet Chocolate
Invert Sugar

LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Semi Sweet Chocolate
Invert Sugar
Egg Whites
Oil of Peppermint

PACKAGING:

Relective foil -- I remember it being the same 20 years ago. When it ain't broke, don't fix it. (York must smartly not employ marketing executives.) Vending machine version is a long shape, rather than the square size I'm more familiar with.

DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

Yep. Light snacking fun, with strong mint taste. But consider buying two packages if you're buying this vending machine version.

WHICH SOUTH PARK CHARACTER WOULD LIKE IT BEST?:

Kyle's Dad.

HOW CAN THE PRODUCT BE IMPROVED:

When you're in the mood for mint, ya' can't beat a York Peppermint Patty. But it doesn't meet most snack cravings.
