I hate anything licorice. I don't remember them.
|
Yep it was SenSen. I used to love it!
|
They are Sen-Sen. The package says
" Created in the mid 1890's. Sen-Sen "Throat Ease and Breath Perfume" is the first commercial breath freshner in the USA. Valuable to "Singers and Speakers". Sen-Sen's blend of licorice and rare herbs effectively mask odors from smoke, food or drink." |
my gramps always had them, very fond memory, sen-sens also brings Black Jack, & clover gum,
|
Oh, yes, how well I remember Sen Sen as a child. I remember the adults using it as a breath freshener, but I used to ask for some of it as a candy treat. I also remember my grandmother using some sort of powdered tooth powder (not toothpaste) to brush her teeth. Thanks for the memory, lol!
