Speaking of mints, I believe that there are not a few friends who have eaten. The entrance is sweet and cool, even if it is not a good friend who likes to eat sweet, you can always accept the sweetness of mints. Usually, after everyone eats hot pot or barbecue outside, will they bring a few mints from the store? As long as I eat hot pot or grilled meat, I like to eat some heavy bites, such as minced garlic, so I have to eat a mint every time to suppress the smell of garlic paste.
Such mint candies are generally free, just to provide convenience for customers. A small mint, the taste is cool and cool, after eating it makes people feel very awake, very comfortable, but it is very strange that other candies are often a whole piece, only mints left a hole in the middle! So, the question is, why should mints leave a hole in the middle?
I'm afraid I've always thought that the little hole in the middle of the mints is for whistling, in order to increase the entertainment, and later after eating, when friends sit together and discuss, I know that the small hole in the middle of the mint is actually catty. If you think the same way as I do, then you think it's too simple.
1. Safety hazards
This design of mints is actually for children, as we all know, candy and other foods, children eat more, but friends with children know that children's throats are relatively fragile, especially the throat tube is relatively narrow, so, we often see the news, some children accidentally swallow things are stuck in the throat!
After the child eats into the stomach, it will cause breathing difficulties, life may be endangered, so later the manufacturer of candy will change the candy of mints to a shape with a circle in the middle, so that even if it is stuck in the throat, it can also maintain breathing, so that this design is not a "life-saving" hole?
2, the taste is better
In fact, such candy is designed with this hole on it, and the taste will be better than that of candy that has no hole in the middle. Mints are actually not sweet, the greater role is to freshen the breath, if you want to make the taste of mints good, it highlights the importance of this hole in the middle, the ring candy and tongue, saliva contact area is larger, the speed of dissolution is faster, the syrup is also secreted more quickly, so we just started to eat mints is sweet, and then slowly become cool.
After reading this article, do you feel that you have increased your knowledge, this sub knows what the hole in the middle of the mint candy is, and you can popularize it to the small partners around you in the future. Eating so many years of mints, the most bought is this brand of mints, very delicious, not sweet at all, eat to the mouth immediately fresh breath, often like to eat heavy taste of the small partner can buy back, at any time in the bag, independent packaging, very good to carry it.
