Yuppie Chow!  That's good!  You know, they've sold those things in liquor stores
for years, as their strong peppermint flavor is good for covering the smell on 
one's breath caused by that little lunchtime nip.

Here in Silly Valley they're called Yuppie Chow.  I was introduced to 
them years ago by a particularly offensive member of that species, and 
have been addicted to them ever since.  They are just strongly-flavored 
mint candies, and they are in fact English.
