omg i ate a half a peppermint

i nonchalantly popped a peppermint in my mouth at work last night, bit into it and chewed, then all of a sudden i realized it was candy and spit it out!! I even wiped my tongue off...omg how many carbs was that? anyone know?

It counts as a big victory on your side because you spit it out! (I do the same when I have to test the pasta I make for my family.)

hey Pammie, don't worry, the serving size on the nutritional info was 3 mints...and since you anly have a half of one...2.33 carbs! That's definitely not worth freaking out about!
Hope that meakes you feel better!
