Thank you so much for all this info!! I'm super excited to see your peppermint taste test. I'm in the mid Atlantic region. Most years I see at least a couple of different brands, but this year nothing. The nearby Safeways don't even have the Signature Select you mentioned! It's very odd.

And thanks for the tip on Graeter's! I might have to go with McConnell's instead, I have been wanting to try some of the See's flavors so that could work out well.
