Nestle Allens Minties

What a crock, waste of money, don't bother buying them anymore they're soft and not enjoyable. I'd rather travel 90 minutes to the Moonta old lolly shop and buy the chocolate coated mints which are actually hard. Show details

The lastest new really soft texture of our beloved minties is just awful, please bring back the medium texture you created in 2012 otherwise we won't be buying anymore Show details

Minties a great treat – Purchased a 335 gram packet of Allen's Minties in March 2024 from Woolies in Drouin VIC. Thank you Nestlé they are excellent, a quality product at reasonable price. Show details

Good – I liked when they were harder , that’s what made them different but the soft chew now taste like other mints. When they were hard the texture was better and the flavour was better

I am sad re Minties size – After years of loving Minties, I am sad that they are now so small in size compared to the original size that they were, the paper almost goes around them now 3 times, I really loved my ORIGINAL sized minties, I don't like the new Chewy ones either. love the taste etc. as they do refresh your mouth. Just wish they had not shrunk them .

Too soft! – The minties I had were too soft for my liking. I could break one in half with my fingers, very disappointed. The last packet I had though were fine. Wish they were more consistent. I feel like I’ve wasted my money. Show details

Nestle give it a rest you sound like a broken record with your replies to minties reviews – Stop responding to every review with "we haven't made any intentional changes to our recipe" it's sounds almost like an automated reply. Minties have changed and you can't hide that factor everyone is saying the same thing over and over again. How about you listen to your consumers and fix the production problem rather than asking for our experiences to be captured. Show details

If I wanted a milko I’d buy milko. Minties SHOULD BE CHEWY! – Wth the texture is like a milko. The 1kg bag I just finished in 7 days was chewy, the small bag I just got tonight is not. I’m so disappointed.

Ruined a 90 year old Aussie favourite – You keep saying you haven't made any "recent" changes, we know. It happened in 2012 when you intentionally took a tried and true recipe that had been around for 90 years and changed it to be softer. You don't change an entire product for a small portion of people who couldn't handle it. Do us all (and probably yourselves) a favour and bring back the original. Sell your latest recipe/method as an alternative with a different name.

Minties don’t meet the suck test – Wish I could leave less than one star. I use to love these but the new recipe has no taste and they are so soft like butter. Bring back the old ones as I won’t buy these again Show details

Change the recipe back – I have to admit I used to be hooked on Minties. I loved how they were hard enough to pull fillings out. I am not sure what changed or if they changed the recipe, BUT NOW THEY ARE HORRIBLE. They are soft and floury and when chewing they feel slimy and I really don’t enjoy them anymore and I won’t be buying them any more unless they revert back. Please go back to the original formula Show details

This lolly ain’t going in my trolley! – Like many of the other people who have left comments, I too was a mad Mintie fan. Well no longer, they are now soft, flowery, disgusting substitutes. To say the formula has not changed for a cheaper option is a blatant lie. How can so many people have the same experience?? Like my headline states, these lollies will no longer be going into my supermarket trolley until they are changed back to their original recipe. Show details

Absolutely DISGUSTING!!!!! – My entire family grand parents to parents to the younger generation all mintie experts and lovers until these new rubbish cheap nasty not even Australian style of mintie has been introduced, this is Australia not some other country and we Australians we love and adore our beautiful hard minties! The fact you have clearly changed them is an… Read more

absolutely terrible day for our culture just like you did to redskins "red rippers" stop being political this is Australia another entire different country! You have massacred the minties and redskins and let's not even get started on you removing fantails! Allen's lollies the last 3 years now you going down the toilet you are telling us the customers who have supported you for generations what we will have and you get what your givin! The new people running allens the younger generation whoever they are have ruined this once powerhouse and amazing magical company with all the useless changes! And whoever's replying to the reviews stop making up nonsense that the recipe hasn't changed! I literally watched on tv a rep from your company admit they have changed and are classed as the new "chew" line... Absolutely disgusting! Might as well buy a pack of extra chewing gum they last longer! Shame on you Allen's!

Soft and powdery texture – Batch 40180317A2 expiry Jan 2025 soft, slightly powdery texture. Not nice to eat, struggling with them. Not sure what is wrong with them. Show details

Soft Minties :( – The last 2 mintie packets I have purchased have both been horrible. So soft, no resistance what so ever when you bite down. So soft you can pull them apart with your hands. Texture is completely different and the flavour is also less minty. Very disappointed.

Revolting soft things – Absolutely RUINED a longtime favourite lollie. Sure they were too hard before, but that crack and chew is WHY we liked them. Now they're not minties. They're repulsive, soft, THINGS. If we want soft lollies, we'll choose them. Way to go. Just lose 70% of your customers. I'm gone. Show details

How awful – What is that saying? “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Ruining the Minties recipe was one of the worst decisions Nestle ever made. Nearly every packet I buy gets thrown in the garbage. The Minties are soft, slimy and just horrible. As a former massive fan of Minties, this awful recipe is very disappointing. Nestlé is commenting on all of our… Read more

reviews, saying that the mentees shouldn’t be so soft, that the further from the factory they are the harder they get. What horrific quality control they have, (or don’t have, I should say).

It should not matter how long it was since they left the factory. They should have a uniform texture and hardness. If Nestle can’t accomplish that on such a simple recipe, then what a terrible failure they are. Why did they mess with the recipe in the first place?

Minties - I thought they were off or out of date ! – New formulae stinks ! Had two today and I thought they were out of date -had to check ! Bring back the hard corn version plse Show details

Terrible soft mess – There has been a major change in the recipe since I last had Minties and I can tell by the fact that I ate 3 in the time it would usually take to eat one! They were soft to bite and turned mushy not long after being in my mouth. Maybe more glucose syrup or vegetable oil and less gelatin now used. Not a pleasant texture on the almost crunchy… Read more

Minties of an apparent bygone era. So disappointing that greed and cost cutting makes a once good product into rubbish! Will look for alternatives.

Minties are not the same :( – Bought a bag for a long car trip, I haven't had them for a while as I always used to lose a filling when I ate them.....they weren't the hard, chewy lollies of the past and even though I did lose a couple of fillings the old recipe was the best. These soft minties are particularly gross and don't have a nice mouthfeel, come on Allen's, I read… Read more

the reviews and you may be telling us they haven't changed but all these reviews can't be wrong, it seems you've lost a few customers!

MINTIES ARE SO DISAPPOINTING AND SOFT NOW! – The reason minties were so good was because of their sticky, hard consistency - NO LONGER - the recipe has changed, they are soft & no different to any other mint on the market now… it’s such a shame that they have let yet another Australian staple slip to such a low level of quality. Show details

Minties gone soft. Disappointing – I bought a bag of Minties several weeks ago and they were soft. I thought it's probably just a bad batch and bought two more bags recently and they are also soft. For me, the pleasure in the originals was the tooth cracking hardness. Won't be buying more. Show details

Why did you change!!! – Craved some chewy lollies and went to an old favourite- Minties. They have changed! Far too soft now and not nice and chewy like they used to be. So disappointed. Show details

So disappointed – I used to buy minties to get me through a long four hour drive in the car .. these new ones last about 39 seconds in the mouth if that and give you no hard chew factor .. they are terrible and will not but again until you return to the orig recipe . Why muck around with an iconic item .. you have cheapened the minute and now it has the consistency… Read more

of a dollar shop cheap sweet. Change it back to orig hard chew that you could roll around in your mouth and it had structure .. these new ones are bloody awful . I thought there was something wrong with them the first time I bought a new packet . Thought they were out of date . Get a grip Allen’s don’t mess with a good thing
