AMERICA'S CHOICE Spice Drops

Gumdrops usually come in two kinds:  assorted fruit flavors and
assorted spice flavors.  A & P's house brand of spice-flavored
drops has two surprises.  While most of the colors correspond to
familiar spice flavors, the flavor of the orange-colored drops is
Mentholated Orange, and the flavor of the yellow drops is Heavily
Mentholated Lemon.  These yellow gumdrops are probably the worst
commercial gumdrops in the U.S., and certainly the most preposterous
"spice drops"!
