And that by chewing it you are ingesting a bunch of microplastics? Please confirm if this is true. I don’t want to believe.
Side question: what alternative means is there for sustained, minty fresh breath that does not involve ingesting microplastics? (Mints don’t work that great imo, the freshness wears off too fast. Gum was my go-to. Now what is left?)
I have vegan friends who are pissed at Altoids because they use gelatin in the formulation of their mints. Like why do you need to grind up bones and cartilage to make…mints?
Huh weird. I assume the gelatin is used as a binder for the powder? I wouldn’t have thought it needed a binder though, as I would think you could just press the powder into shape and it would hold good enough. And surely, if some binding is needed, pectin could do the job. Probably just a cost decision vs losing the vegan market, but still…
