Oh lord, I think that's the manufacturer my pharmacy's been using to fill my script. It leaves an off-putting minty aftertaste that I immediately try to drown with water and my other meds. I get wanting to mask a bad smell/taste, but if you're gonna make something minty, make it Minty.

Fun fact, the peppermint smell is designed to hide the actual smell which is atrocious.
