I’ll admit at first I was a little skeptical of, one: how well these Nokkomo mints would work; and two, if I would even use them often enough that it would make sense for the average consumer to use. I can tell you right now – I was surprised at not only how much I love these, but how well they worked!
I’ve consumed cannabis every day all day for years and lighting up a bowl or a joint has always been my method of medicating. You can’t be a daily consumer without having your fair share of cottonmouth and dry eyes. These are things that just come with the territory, a fact of life for the modern hippy. I’ve never been one to use eye drops and my solution for cotton mouth has always been to drink water like a maniac. This unfortunately also leads to a significant amount of bathroom breaks, so when the opportunity presented itself to try a different approach I was 100% for it!
Who is Nokkomo Mints?
If simplicity is your thing, then you’ll love the Nokkomo website. It’s simple to navigate and makes it incredibly easy to get the product you came for, which I love! If you scroll to the very bottom there is an About Us section, truly I’d like to see it toward the top of the page but that’s just my preference. I like to know the brand I’m buying from. They do offer a breakdown of the ingredients and what each of them is, which I greatly appreciate. Even though these aren’t medicated, they have the same level of transparency I like to see from cannabis brands
Packaging & Appearance of Nokkomo Mints
The thing I love the most about Nokkomo mints is there is nothing on the packaging that specifies it’s for stoners. I think it’s better that way: we have thousands of specifically stoner products and sometimes it’s nice to find something that isn’t directly tied to cannabis. It lends well to this being a product for people in general, but stoners really benefit and it allows us to vouch for “normal people products” without some of the side-eyes you may get from the cannabis skeptics.
Flavor
The flavor of these is absolutely amazing! If you’ve read my reviews before, you know how I feel about the aftertaste and this had none. The smell when you pop open the bottle is rich with nostalgia. It takes me back to the early 2000s with my baby bottle pops and tween magazines. Nokkomo offers four flavors: watermelon, strawberry, lemon and passionfruit.
You might be thinking they’re just mints. Yes, I hear you but….they fizz. The amount of fizz in these little guys is impressive, to say the least. I’m a sucker for those flavored fizzy waters during the summer and these mints remind me of those. It’s like a tiny party for your taste buds. Something about the flavor fizz combo is just so magical you can’t help but smile.
Putting These Mitns To The Cotton Mouth Test!
Not long after they got here, I was sitting at my desk after a sesh and that feeling of overstimulation crept up on me. When I finally paused to assess, it hit me…. I HAVE DRY MOUTH!! I jumped up from my desk beyond giddy – I could finally try them and see if they actually worked. I ran the 15 or so steps to my kitchen, popped a strawberry mint, and headed back to my desk.
It wasn’t but a second after I sat down I damn near drooled on myself! It was hands down the funniest product testing I’ve done. After my laughter and the fizz faded I was really surprised when the dry mouth didn’t come back. It actually fended it off long-term, well until the next sesh that is.
If you have the self-control not to chew it up immediately the fizz lasts for a good few minutes. If you do decide to chomp down on one of these, know that amplifies the fizz by 3 times at least. Either way, there is nothing but a pleasant lightly sweet aftertaste and not a hint of dry mouth in sight!
Did It Make The Cut?
So are these Nokkomo mints good enough to earn a spot in my cabinet of cannabis curiosities? That’s a hard yes! They are delicious, fun, and actually solve the dry mouth problem we’ve all experienced. I’m pretty stoked about the price too, at $18 for a three-pack it’s hard to pass up. Even though it doesn’t scream STONER I think that’s part of why I like this brand so much. I will always support a product that allows stoners to feel normal and not like we need to have something that is specifically for us.
Stay Happy, Healthy & High!
