Anyone remember these?

Talking with an old friend, Jim Snedden a while ago and while we were talking, he was in his kitchen, and he dropped a bottle of cloves. He mentioned what a nice aroma they created in his kitchen.

I mentioned that my Mom, especially on Sunday morning, would put a clove in her mouth as a breath freshener.  But, she always had a little pack of these Sen-Sen's in her purse. Anytime we went anywhere, if people were going to be involved, I had one of those little black squares put in my mouth.

Toothache? Cloves, and they really work. Even today if I get a sore of some kind in my mouth, cloves still do the trick.

I had not thought of Sen-Sen's for years.

I remember after my Mom passed on, we were going through some of her things, one of which was her purse, and there in the bottom .... Sen-Sen's. Brings back some pleasant memories. I wonder if you can still buy them anywhere?
