Olips Hard Menthol Candy is a branded hard sweet with a pronounced menthol flavour. It stays firm as you suck it, gradually releasing a sharp, cooling taste. In Turkey, candies like this are often kept in a bag or car for a refreshing sweet after a meal or during the day; they may also be offered alongside tea. Elsewhere, it works much the same way as other individually enjoyed hard mints.
Nutritionally, it is mostly carbohydrate from sugar, with no protein or fat, so it is best thought of as an occasional sweet rather than a filling snack. The menthol flavour is intense, and one piece may be enough. If you want to keep the overall sweetness down, have it with water or unsweetened tea.
