Pinky Mint Candy, Grape (box of 12)
Product ID: AKS-20261018-25TB
Pinky is a mint tablet launched by Japan's Koikeya in 1997 and later produced and sold in Taiwan through a joint venture with UCBm (Wu Chou Biomedical). China Times reported in February 2026 that the original was discontinued in Japan in 2018, and that a Japanese travel influencer who spotted the original packaging still on sale in a Taiwanese convenience store drew close to a million views on X, with many Japanese users saying they would fly to Taiwan for it. The official store sells peach and grape, 7g per tin, in sets of 12.

Funliday: Pinky Grape Mint Review — Heavy Artificial Flavor, Sickly Sweet, Zero Mint Freshness

Key Takeaways
- Overwhelming artificial grape flavoring tastes medicinal like cough syrup, leaving a chemical aftertaste on the back of the tongue.
- Marketed as a breath mint but offers virtually zero cooling mint sensation; leaves an unpleasantly sticky sweet throat coating.
- The sliding plastic dispenser lid has loose tolerances, popping open inside pockets and spilling mints into purse lint.
- Very few pieces per container and dissolves into chalky dust in under 60 seconds, offering terrible value.
✅ Pros
- Nostalgic cute monkey mascot artwork on the dispenser
- One-handed sliding lid mechanism is fun to fidget with
- Compact pocket-friendly packaging footprint
❌ Cons
- Harsh artificial grape flavoring mimics cheap cough medicine
- Fails as a breath freshener with nonexistent mintiness
- Flimsy slider pops open inside bags spilling contents
- Dissolves into chalky mush far too quickly in mouth
📝 Verdict
"Nostalgic packaging cannot redeem a medicinal, tooth-achingly sweet tablet devoid of actual mint refreshing power."

Funliday：人工香精味極重，甜度過高完全失去薄荷清爽感
來源

重點摘要
- 葡萄香精氣味過於化學刺鼻，入口後宛如在吃廉價感冒糖漿，舌根殘留厚重的不自然化學甜味。
- 標榜薄荷糖卻幾乎感受不到清涼感，反而充斥著高糖分的黏膩感，吃完後喉嚨發乾口渴想喝水，無法達到口氣清新效果。
- 塑膠推蓋小盒機械結構鬆散，放在口袋或包包內容易因摩擦自行滑開，糖果散落包底沾滿灰塵毛屑。
- 一盒內顆粒數偏少且融化速度過快，含在口中不到一分鐘便化為粉末，性價比極低。
✅ 優點
- 外盒猴子吉祥物插畫復古可愛
- 推蓋單手出糖設計便利好玩
- 體積小巧便於放入口袋隨身攜帶
❌ 缺點
- 化學葡萄香精刺鼻甜膩如感冒藥水
- 毫無薄荷清涼提神與清新口氣作用
- 推蓋容易自行鬆開造成糖果灑落
- 顆粒遇唾液迅速化粉口感鬆散不耐含
📝 總結評語
「只有懷舊包裝能看，人工香精死甜又毫無薄荷涼意，吃完反而口乾舌燥十分雷人。」
