Okay, so from my understanding and experience, too many ice breaker mints can cause stomach issues for you. Will sucking on them for approximately 1 minute then removing it from my mouth be a healthier way to consume and avoid the pitfalls of over icebreaker consumption?

    I would presume it wouldn’t matter. I don’t think icebreakers have layers and it’s just the same thing all the way through. Sorbitol, while tasting sweet, is a hyperosmotic laxative.

    It may be better to address the addiction then trying to dodge the side effects.

    It’s the artificial sweetener(s) (Sorbitol and maltitol) that cause some folks tummy troubles.

    It all comes down to if it bothers your tummy and if so what your limit is.

    Personally I can down a whole tin in 4 hours with no issue.

    Real question, hoping that community rules apply to me since it’s topical: why? How much do you consume? Do you have compulsions to eat them?
