I love LOVE the mints they are addicting! I became obsessed with making a violet pastille perfume to wear. Mary Cogbill on 1/02/09 at 10:18 am, Comment by Belinda on 2/09/12 at 9:24 am, Comment by Cybele: Those pink, green, violet candies you described a long time ago are most likely the Canels gum, which INDEED has a violet variety! This comment has been removed by the author. So I just tried some of this today because I saw it in an OldeTymey candy store this weekend and who wouldn't be drawn to a pictureless package that simply states "Scented Gum"?It tastes like Noxema. I am pretty sure they are not really a candy but a mislabled bath salt. As a touchstone though, I found the peppermint version of Chowards pretty good, like a dense pillow butter mint. Why Mike decided to come to this blog and leave a comment (like so many others Ive seen on other sites that discuss C.Howards) seems a bit suspect and Ive removed his further comments. lol. Bonnie on 2/16/10 at 1:16 pm, Comment by My grandmother used to buy it in Chicago (in bulk at a department store) and I LOVED them. Lastly, one of the great things about this gum is that it does not contain aspartame, which has been proven to be a toxic, cancer-causing chemical (Google it). They didnt taste soapy to me. Shawna on 10/19/06 at 8:02 am, Comment by I ordered from them a few months ago and just placed a large order a few days ago. @ Anonymous, above: It's not C. Howard's, it's C Howard Co. And their website calls it "CHoward's". I didnt want to do that! But many better gums are gone with ones like this sticking around. As far as the complaints about this gum losing it's flavor quickly and being too small, if the reviewer knew anything about the history of chewing gum, they would know that all vintage gums lost their flavor quickly, and most, for a long time, were Chicklet-sized (except Wrigley's - which also lost it's flavor quickly). Candyology 101 - Episode 36 - KitKat Jamie on 12/31/69 at 4:00 pm, Comment by It just means that I dont plan on buying it again. PS-when i was a kid, i pronounced them Chowders. I eat them so much that a 24pack box only lasts about 2-3 days maybe 4! ohmygosh. its ridculious, and just to think when i was growing up I couldnt stand the smell or taste of it, now as a grown woman with 2 kids , I am seriously additcted to them, i buy them buy the boxes, everyone knows when im in the room, i cant hide to save my life, i will fight anyone over my violets, and i have!. The mints themselves really arent terribly flavorful. First, I preface this review (actually, it looks like Ive prefaced the review several times, would you like to just skip to the bottom for the rating?) I did a little digging to find out more about Chowards, you can read the history here. For one thing, it's not "Chowards", it is C. Howards. Noone corrected me otherwise *lol* How i miss my purple Chowders! For anyone looking for violet candy in many varieties, try Madrids La Violetta. When I was 10 or so, after I got paid from my paper route, Id race to the local stationary store in Brightwaters,Long Island,NY and purchase an OMNI magazine and a few packages of C.Howards VIOLETS.Id head to the park and munch mints and read for hours.Thats about the only thing in my crappy childhood that is nice to remember.I was telling my friend about this candy just last week (we were talking about flowers in food), and today,I went to the smoke shop to buy discount cigarettes and there on the counter was one single package of VIOLETS in an empty carton.Purchased for only 60 cents I feel pretty good about things.They do have a little soapy aftertaste,but nothing to cry about.Compared to those Flavigny violets pastilles going for $2.75 per package online (thats nuts), I feel like I stole them,lol.My 11 yr old daughter gets home from summer recreation in two hours.Id like her to try them.Hope theres some left! I just love them. The flavor is not at all like the mint, its got a nice cinnamon/clove twang to it and a little touch of the flowery violet. I bought em for the first time in a candy shop far far away from my house & its a shame because i only bought 1 pack of the mints(not knowing what they tasted like). Ive only had one pastille, and though it was OK (and lasted too long in my mouth), I love the smell of them!

Those are the same I rememberwe lived in Chicago when I was a kid and my grandmother and I would go to get those violet squares I loved them and have been searching for them forever. I think I will go to the website and order them because they are way cheaper that way and the new guava mints they have are pretty decent, very strong taste though. I find most people LOVE or HATE these delectable mints. I have similar feelings about amaretto because of a bad experience involving pizzelle dough that I wont go into here. Type: Mint & Gum. I keep a roll in my pocket book and one in my car and the beautiful scent is always there.

My favorite ice cream flavor at the moment is Orange Blossom and Pistachio. I feel so lady-like with a tin of Flavignys. laura docter on 1/21/10 at 6:30 am, Comment by I am looking for a source for a violet flavored candy that are sold in a small white oval metal box with violets pictured in the middle of the lid. chowards #39 Hi Mike, what is the new product?

They absolutely LOVE them, and I just dont see it. Bonnie on 1/07/10 at 1:42 am, Comment by We could be the exception. I know where you can get these. so Delicious!!

As a child my father used to purchase (1960s) small squares for me - I assume they were violet flavored as they were purple. Next time I am in LA or Glendale I will seek them out. That being said, if you like the taste of soap, you will enjoy them, otherwise, for the Flavigny - I go through 4-5 tins a week. I wanted my wife to experience the wonderful flavor that I remembered.

Personally Im more interested in the orange blossom ice cream. Shawna on 1/02/09 at 11:53 am, Comment by They tasted floral, fresh, unique and absolutely divine! I love the smell and taste of these mints. I really cant believe there are so many people like me that are addict this candy,You wouldnt believe how many packs a day i eat.

But some of your other comments are a little unsupported.Okay so liking or disliking the flavor is a matter of "taste" (pun intended) and so cannot really be argued.But when you claim that a fragrance cannot be refreshing, well, that just makes it sound like you lost your sense of smell in a freak accident or in battle or something. Renada on 4/26/09 at 6:40 am, Comment by Price: unknown (but have seen regular Chowards for $1.25) What gum would you like to see us review?

I bought two. I LOVE the CHowards violet candy..and Cybele May, you have in my opinion the ULTIMATE Candy site/blog:) Even mixed Chowards Violet Candy in ice cream myself! Just being a wiseass. My friend is a smoker and she really likes them as a breath-freshener. Ive searched all over the internet & am afraid theyre just not available! I had no trouble buying these mints in NY but I am now in Vegas and only World Market has them albeit stale and overpiced.

In fact, I brought it to work and shared with others becuase I found the taste so unique. http://www.chowardcompany.com/products.htm. I dont care for the gum all that much though.
