Random Candy Memory: It Ain't All Good

My grandmother had a candy dish near the front door and it was always filled with clear aqua blue hard candies. They are incredibly minty, just stopping short of menthol. There's nothing sweet, fun or yummy about these mints. I hate these candies. They make me afraid to get old because I never want to like these candies because they're boring and too strong and I think only old people must like them.
