There's two types of mint imperials but no method to notify which type you are buying.
Waitrose own brand are the incorrect type.

Some might say they’re… mint inferials

Chewy and crumbly? The chewy ones are wrong.
This man imperials. Waitrose don't crumble.
I never knew this! Crumbly is the only correct imperial
I get Tesco's ones. Nicely crumbly and good flavour. Sainsbury's are slightly worse but every now and then you get a batch that have a 'shell' you can nibble off and crunch while letting the inner crumbly bit dissolve, but it's not common. The chewy ones are ILLEGAL. M&S ...
Why is it the posher supermarkets can't get this right?
TIL that there are chewy mint imperials. Good god. If I wanted that I'd get softmints.
They're not chewy like soft mints because they are much stickier. I'm sure they are designed to extract teeth.
Finally other people who understand! My wife likes the chewy ones, I like the crumbly ones - road trips are a nightmare - you have to have mints in the car if you’re on a motorway but how can you concentrate on the road if you have to pull mint fragments out of your teeth!!!
Well that marriage is not going to last..(my go to Reddit response in these type of matters…)
M&S I think are made in the same factory as Waitrose. Lidl and Aldi ones are the right ones my friend.
Lidl cola bottles are the right ones too.
I get the Lidl ones and leave a pack in the side door of my car. They're brilliant.
I think Sainsbury's are the right ones too.
“Ooh, mints!”
Then again, packaged mints are better then restaurant mints - they’re covered in urine.
Well we’ve found the reason urinal cakes need to have ‘Do not eat’ printed on them.
I assume you still get them from large jars and they cost a farthing. I know I won't pay a penny more.
They are metric imperials, which explains the issue.
I’m not a huge mint imperial fan, but I’m outraged at the knowledge that some vendors are calling chewy mints ‘mint imperials’, that’s just wrong. Do Pan Drops still exist? Like bigger mint imperials.
Pan Drops do still exist. They're a lozenge shape and bigger. Think they're more a Scottish thing perhaps?
I used to LOVE mint imperials. Bought them regularly. Got burnt too many times, and I haven’t had them for years. Crumbly recommendations welcome.

Morrison's own brand ones (not the Dobson ones they also stock) are crumbly, and slightly above Sainsbury's in my book, but it's close - M&S and Waitrose ones are awful!
Co-op have nice crumbly ones but not every store sells them
