Minties have been an Australian staple confectionery since 1922. These delightful little white rectangle bricks of mint flavoured perfection have been know to pull the fillings right out of your teeth. cavitiesand it would be no surprise to know that braces have not survived very well either. So why do we enjoy them so much?
Minties have a distinctive mint taste, that is refreshing, chewy with a very unique consistency. The wrapper is white waxed paper with green and red text, and in the past had a black and white comic strip on each wrapper.
There is a Minties Challenge and if you haven't tried it, you really should grab some and give it a try. You take an undamaged Minities square wrapper and you tear the wrapper into one long strip. If you are eating them with a friend, the challenge becomes having the longer strip than your friend.
Finally. lets talk about a Minties Moment ... a marketing strategy was that any moment of personal challege, chaos, or an embarrasing moment, could be made better with Mintie given by another .... often a stranger.
