Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

I was going nuts trying to remember the name of the OTHER Tic-Tacs, and I woke up this morning with the name clear in my head. They were cheaper, you got more, and I liked them more. Don't know why Tic Tacs won this battle, but these only lasted a couple of years:

Now I have to remember the name of the peppermint cigarettes that were advertised and sold for about a year only, around 1975-76. They weren't marketed as menthol, their selling point was that they were peppermint. They were horrible, too.

Thanks. Yeah, those were horrible too :) . I remember seeing commercials for "Peppermint" cigarettes and was really curious what the difference was between them and menthol. The commercials probably only aired about a month. I asked every store I went into and then finally someone had them. I was all excited, smoked one, and it was horrible. And then that was pretty much the end of them. I may be the only one on the planet that ever tried them :) .

Searched yesterday for a while and came up empty handed. I'm thinking ice or blue were in the name but I could be very wrong and that might have something to do with my lack of success in the search. I'm determined though!!!!
