I have always been a sucker for anything mint flavored. I go through phases where I drink mint tea by the gallon. I always have mint gum in my bag. And I am capable of eating mint chocolate chip ice cream by the carton (and on many occasions, I have). When I first came across a display of Metromint at my local gourmet grocery store, I immediately pick up a bottle to go with the panini I was buying for lunch. It was perfect with the sandwich, refreshing and cool, with a significant tingle of mint.
The good folks at Metromint have recently added Chocolatemint to the three flavors they already had available (Spearmint, Lemonmint and Orangemint). According to Josh Spear, this water is delicious and leaves you with the taste of chocolate long after the water is gone (and for far fewer calories). Chocolatemint should be in stores in time for Valentine's Day.

When we came home to Dumas TX I looked for it at the Wal-Mart and I could not find it. How can I get it over here because I am craving it very much. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

i was not so happy with the plain mint water. too mouthwashy for me. but i love chocolate falvored things (hard candy, gum, lip smackers, etc...) so this sounds great. i'll have to keep an eye open for it.

Those affected by the recall have a Best Before 2008/12/21 date, and were produced at Soma's California facility. The products produced in California have "KSA" within a rectangle printed on the lower right-hand corner of the back label.

They sound like two totally different products to me.
