Mints are a popular choice when you want to freshen your breath after a meal, a cup of coffee or a particularly spicy lunch. But a Japanese mint has caught the internet’s attention for a rather unusual claim: it can keep burps smelling fresh even hours after you take it. But Indians’ reaction is completely different. Scroll down to know more.
Japanese Mint Is Going Viral Among Indians
Vlogger Mechie (@hey.itsmechie) recently shared a video of herself trying the product and explained how it works. Unlike regular mints that you chew or suck on, this one is meant to be swallowed whole. According to her, the tiny pod dissolves in the stomach after consumption. Sharing the video, she wrote, “🇯🇵 Japan must-try! This mint will keep your burps smelling fresh even after a few hours! It’s not like your normal mint. You swallow one whole pod, and it dissolves into your tummy! So cool!”

The claim soon caught the attention of social media users in India, many of whom felt the product looked familiar. Several compared it to Pudin Hara, a mint-based Indian remedy commonly used for digestive discomfort.

The video instantly went viral, with many Indians taking to the comments section and comparing it with Pudin Hara. One user wrote, “That’s the pudina Hara; India also has that.”
“Aree chill guysss yeh sab hum bachpan se khaate aa rahe hai… Pudin Hara hai guysss,” another user joked, suggesting that the Japanese product was not as unfamiliar to Indians as it might seem.
