Minteasers

[fourteen85]

Anyone else recall these sweets from mid 60's?

[retrocop]

Can't say I do recall them. In the mid 60's I was into a packet of 10 Guards a day. :-(

Like malteasers but green in the middle and minty not malty. Bit like chocolate covered toothpaste.

[woofgang]

yes they were like blobs of mint aero

[barry1010]

A bit crunchier than an aero.

[aelmpvw]

yes, and very morish they were to

[shoota]

Mint Aero - you could buy my body with a bar of that...

[barry1010]

That's daft, Shoota. Charge a proper rate and you could buy two or three :)

[fourteen85]

I recall buying them in Cornwall but I never saw them for sale in the north of England, maybe it was a regional trial

[Mamyalynne]

They get a mention every so often.

I recall there were mint malteasers, but hadn't realised about a name difference. Wasn't that long ago, surely ?

[Mamyalynne]

Here are all the variants of Maltesers, not all still available.

[Mamyalynne]

There's also Buttons.

He knows what one is Barry, he's just trying to sell his body ;-)

[Buenchico]

I can't recall them (which is odd, because I love mint Aero) but here's a reminder of the packaging anyway:

[fourteen85]

Hmm, love antiques!! Makes me feel really good.

[tiggerblue10]

I've never seen them before but they sound nice.

Is there a minty one in Revels? Haven't had them in ages and can't remember.
