This is what someone said in a review:



Reviewer: A customer from Missoula, Montana, USA 
I am an unsuspecting American who was goaded into trying these by a very close Australian friend. I trusted his sense of taste and that if he actually liked them, then they couldn't be as bad as they sounded. After all, he hated vegemite and I did too when I tried it, so maybe we had similar tastes! The smell of the musk life savers was just... well, basically, it smelled like a stick of deodorant. The smell is a feminine floral musk. The taste? Well, imagine licking a stick of women's deodorant or spraying some feminine musk perfume in your mouth. Ever gotten on a bus with an old lady who put way too much perfume on and you could actually taste it? Same situation, only with the sweetness of sugar. I couldn't finish it and spit it out. Not _disgusting_ per se, but not something I'd ever eat again in my life. I'll stick to musk being a scent here in the States, and not a flavor! Blech.

Do they have them in the US, or are they Australian?

OMG!  Back in 1998 I came to Europe on a bus tour around many of the countries that summer.  Before coming I met a bunch of people on the message board who were to be on my tour.  One of them was Tim from Sydney.  Well we talked a lot and he told me about those lifesavers and brought me some.  I opened them up and the smell alone was so nasty I handed them back to him without even trying them. He was happy enough to have them for the trip.
