OK started this thread cause noone seems to have heard of Mintoes. They were in a packet like Munchies but the packet was dark green. The sweeties were the same shape and looked like Munchies but they were Dark Chocolate with a Mint Fondant Centre.....................come on someone else apart from me must remember them?

And no they werent just a Scottlsh thing as someone (you know who you are) already said! :001_tongue:

    As far as I know you can still get them down here. Mind you I haven't looked for years. They were/are delish.

    Well in my defence, they were never called Mintoes. They were called Mintola :-P

    Haha, its also good to know that scottish people eat other things apart from deep fried mars bars :thumbup:

    Mintola! YES! That's what I was thinking of.

    I thought Mentoes/Mintoes were like mint imperials.

    The only Mintoes I remember where like butter mints.
    But I remember Mint Munchies - they were yummie - hadnt realised they had stopped selling them.
    I want to know what happened to Rowntrees Jelly - I can only find Hartleys and its lacking in flavour something terrible - yuckie.

    Didn't they merge at some stage?

    Could be wrong!

    Oh no you are right it was Mintolas! Damn I hate having to admit I am wrong. Yip Mintoes were those Mint Imperial things with the chewy centres.

    It is the Mintolas I meant. I was in Morrisons at the weekend too and I never saw them. Yuk Deep Fried Mars Bars I couldn't think of anything more disgusting. I have never tried one. Where we come from in Scotland we have Deep Fried Snickers instead!!!!.............................

    Aren't mintoes different from mentos?

    http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/mintoes-p-167.html

    As far as I can find mintola's are now called mint munchies, which are the same as after eight?

    Do these look familiar?

    I've never seen After Eights like that before but I suppose they would be similar to the Mintolas! I have never seen Mint Munchies before.

    Hey AK I don't even know if I want to talk to you anymore you abandoned us! lol I am gonna look in Morrisons this weekend as somebody said they have them. Why do they change the name of Sweeties? Why did Marathons become Snickers there was no need for that either?
