Murray Mints |
|
I have fond recollections of these as I used to buy them from our local
sweet shop which was called ‘Wye Not’. My friends brother was too young
to go there on his own so he used to call for me at about six each
evening and we’d walk up to the shop together. I used to love the jars
of sweets, there was something different about having them served in a
paper bag. Watching the lady pour them into the scales until the needle
hit 2oz and then she’d throw in an extra one, but we soon learnt that if
we smiled nicely and thanked her then we could get two, but only
sometimes. I spoke to Dusty about this and he is convinced that you
could only get Murray Mints pre-packed and never from the jar - I think
he’s wrong. Remember also that little tune - “Murray Mints, Murray Mints
the too-good-to hurry mints”.
MORE INFORMATION Murray
Mints were sold in jars and were distributed by Beechams until the
company was sold to Cadbury/Schweppes.
