Passion Fruit Altoids

Three words. Passion Fruit Altoids. Or two words (Passionfruit altoids) if you prefer. Either way, it's been a most difficult item for me to acquire, and in fact is the last major Altoids tin missing from my otherwise-nearly-complete collection. Plus I'm a huge passion fruit fan. I got them on ebay. 3 Tins, actually. I thought they were the same as the other sours tins, but they have a larger diameter and they're not quite as tall. They hold 2.3oz instead of the 1.76oz in a normal sours tin. Apparently they were released last year for Valentine's Day (there's a big heart on the tin, and they are PASSION fruit, after all), and given the timing of my acquisition, it may be that they've released them again this year (although not in any of the stores that I've been in yet).

I'll be honest. i'm not impressed. Like I said, i'm a passionfruit fan, and although the taste is definitely there, and passion fruit certainly is sour by nature, these candies just don't do it for me. Still, it's great to be able to finally add the tin to my collection.

update: these have grown on me considerably. especially after a 2 hour car ride where they were my only caloric intake. And fishy likes them even more than the mango ones.
