Minties

Minties

Minties is a brand of confectionery originating in Australia and manufactured in both Australia and New Zealand for their respective markets. They are a hard, white and chewy, square mint-flavoured lolly, which on chewing become so sticky that they are notorious for causing fillings to come out. They were originally packaged in 5lb (around 2.2 kg) bulk tins or 3oz (around 85g) cardboard boxes, but now come in packs ranging from 150g - 1 kg. Minties are wrapped in waxed paper with a cartoon underneath the logo with the common caption "It's moments like these you need Minties".

About 500 million are consumed each year.

In the late 1990s, Minties released 'Spearmint Minties', however, these were taken off the market for unknown reasons just before the end of 1999.

Minties were invented in 1922 by James Noble Stedman (1860–1944), son of company founder (and Australia's first confectioner) James Stedman (1840–1913). Minties were patented in 1926, and were manufactured by James Stedman — Henderson Sweets Limited at the "SweetAcres" factory at Rosebery, New South Wales. Other well-known lines made at Sweetacres were "Fantales" and "Talky Toffies".

In 1968, Stedman-Henderson was taken over by Hoadleys, which was acquired in 1971 by Rowntree's which was taken over globally by Nestlé in 1981. They are now sold as "Allens Minties" (Nestlé acquired the Allens brand in 1985.)

In 1930 or 1931, a factory was set up in Auckland, New Zealand. Cadbury now manufacture the lollies as "Pascall Minties". In November 2009, Cadbury New Zealand announced they were moving production from Auckland to Thailand and changing to a softer formulation (less stressful on teeth and may be consumed more quickly). Curiously, the 200g packets sold in Australia as (Nestlé) Allens Minties in 2010 are clearly labelled "Made in New Zealand".

Momints

Momints is a breath mint manufactured by Yosha Enterprises Corporation. (Although Yosha is a Japanese word, the company is based in the United States.)

An iridescent, translucent sphere resembling a glass bead, Momints are one of the smallest commercially available mints. Momints are described by the manufacturer as a "liquid mint". The liquid mint solution (not true mint, as Momints contain no mint oil) is encased in a soluble gelatin shell. Biting the shell releases the liquid contents.

Momints are packaged in a transparent plastic package, designed to fit into a watch pocket. The box is a rectangular solid, except that at one short end the top slopes down to meet the base. The other end contains a hinged door, which opens to give to access to an internal chute. Individual Momints may be dispensed through this chute. This package is styled the "E-Z Slide Pack".

28 Momints are contained in each package.

None.

^ The list of ingredients given on the package is at variance with the list at momints.com. The latter omits glycerin, aspartame, and acesulfame potassium, and adds silicon dioxide.

^ Momints are also packaged in transparent 8-count plastic tubes, sold wrapped in opaque silver foil, but the product is otherwise identical to regular Momints.

Moro (chocolate bar)

Moro

Moro is the brand name of two different versions of chocolate bar made by Cadbury, one sold in Ireland, one in Australia and New Zealand, and Middle East.

The Irish Moro consists of nougat, biscuit and caramel filling and chocolate covering. The wrapper is blue, with the "Moro" logo in white. It is manufactured and sold in Ireland.

In May 2006, Moro Peanut was launched, with the words "Formerly Starbar" displayed prominently on the label; the wrapper on this variant is red. In the summer of 2007 a Coconut Moro bar was released as a limited edition in Ireland and colloquially known as the Bounty Moro. The wrapper is white with the Moro logo in yellow with a blue outline. In 2014 a Moro GAA special edition was launched in a deal with two sponsors of the GAA.

The New Zealand (now Australian) bar has a black wrapper with "Moro" written in yellow (see side photo). The slogan is "Get more go" due to its high energy content. This bar has a whipped nougat and caramel centre and is covered in chocolate. There are three different types of Moro sold in New Zealand, the aforementioned 'standard Moro', the Moro Double Nut containing peanuts and hazelnuts, and the recently released Moro Gold, which is similar to the Irish Moro and the Boost Bar sold by Cadbury in Australia. It is available in New Zealand, and a very limited number of stores in Australia, although Moro is one of the miniature chocolate bars found in Cadbury Favourites. It is equivalent to the Australian or European Mars Bar, as well as being very close to the Australian Cadbury Whip, however within New Zealand it has eclipsed the Mars Bar, becoming something quintessentially Kiwi as well as Cadbury's best selling bar within New Zealand. It's stated on the fun facts page of the Cadbury New Zealand website that a Moro bar is consumed once every two seconds.

The Deep-fried Moro Bar is sold by New Zealand Fish and chip shops as an alternative to the Deep-fried Mars bar, particularly in Dunedin.

Mounds (candy)

Mounds

Mounds is a candy bar made by Hershey's. It consists of a filling made of shredded coconut, which is enrobed in dark chocolate. The Mounds bar's sibling is Almond Joy, which is made the same way but with milk chocolate and a whole almond crowning the coconut.

Mounds' original slogan, "Indescribably Delicious", was created when Mounds ran a contest to come up with the best two words to sell a candy. Leon Weiss, the person who came up with the slogan, won $10, while Mounds went on to use the slogan in advertising and on the wrappers, still continuing today.

Mounds uses a packaging and logo design similar to its sister product, with Almond Joy's blue replaced by red, and the two candies are often advertised together. The candy's famous 1970s ad campaign used a jingle, "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't / Almond Joy's got nuts / Mounds don't", written by Leon Carr.

A limited-edition Mounds Island Orange candy bar was introduced in 2006 with orange-colored and -flavored coconut.

A similar coconut-filled chocolate bar by the name of Bounty is manufactured by Mars, Incorporated and sold in markets other than the United States. The bars are sold in light or dark chocolate and are recognized by their blue (light chocolate) or red (dark chocolate) wrappers. Neither bar contains almonds.

Mounds was created in 1920 as a single piece for 5 cents. In 1929, the Peter Paul Company purchased the line and had begun production. The format changed to two pieces that still sold for 5 cents, with the price rising to 10 cents after World War II. Mounds was made in milk chocolate, as well. During World War II, Peter Paul was faced with severe shortages of sugar and coconut which had been shipped from the Philippines before war broke out. Rather than sacrifice quality, the company discontinued some of its lesser selling brands and concentrated production on the Mounds candy bar. Over the years, Peter Paul added several products to its line, including the Almond Joy candy bar and York Peppermint Patties. Cadbury and Peter Paul merged in 1978, and Hershey Foods purchased the company's U.S. operations in 1988.

Mr. Goodbar

Hershey's Mr. Goodbar

Mr. Goodbar is a candy bar containing common peanuts and chocolate, whose packaging is identifiable by its yellow background and red text. It is manufactured by The Hershey Company and was introduced in 1925. Although the Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar with Almonds had been produced since 1908, Milton Hershey initially did not want the Hershey brand name associated with a chocolate bar that contained peanuts, so it was introduced as being produced by the "Chocolate Sales Corporation" (a fictitious company name created by William Murrie). It is currently available both as an individual product and as one of the varieties of Hershey's Miniatures.

The formula was modified in 1995 to add more peanuts.

In 2008, Hershey replaced cocoa butter with cheaper oil substitutes. Hershey changed the description of the product and altered the packaging slightly along with the ingredients. Though the formula contained chocolate, according to United States Food and Drug Administration food labeling laws, these modified recipes that do not contain cocoa butter cannot be legally described as milk chocolate.

By 2014, milk chocolate returned as the primary ingredient.

Looking for Mr. Goodbar was an acclaimed best-selling novel by Judith Rossner, published in 1975 and adapted as an Oscar-nominated film in 1977. Lacey Fosburgh, appropriating Rossner's title, published Closing Time: The True Story of the "Goodbar" Murder, an "interpretive biography" of the real-life murder of Roseann Quinn, which had inspired Rossner's fiction.

Munch (candy bar)

Munch is a candy bar manufactured by Mars, Incorporated and sold in the United States. The bar was introduced in 1970 as the Snickers Munch Bar and was later relabeled "Munch". It is made of only six ingredients: peanuts, sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and soy lecithin.

The candy bar contains no chocolate and is comparable to peanut brittle, though the Munch bar has a higher density of peanuts compared to most brittles.

Due to its short list of simple ingredients, it is marketed as being healthy and natural.

The Natural Confectionery Company

The Natural Confectionery Co. or TNCC was a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunrise Confectioners (Aust) Pty Ltd. ('Sunrise')....

Sunrise was founded by a young Julius Lighton and his son-in-law, Walter Eger. Initially, the two bought out Jupp & Sons, a small confectionery business in Abbotsford, Melbourne. Two years later, another of Julius Lighton's sons-in-law, Rudi Moser, joined him, and in 1949, they acquired a second small confectionery company, E. & H. Ihles, in another Melbourne suburb, Camberwell.

In 1951, these companies were merged into Sunrise.

Three years later, after the phenomenal success of his confectionery companies, Sunrise purchased a larger factory in Greville Street, Prahran, Melbourne, to consolidate production.

Over the years, Sunrise Confectioners produced a multitude of confectionery. Including jersey caramel, yummy things and chocolate bullets, boiled confectionery such as acid drops, bullseyes and barley sugar, toasted marshmallows, hundreds & thousands (Sunrise introduced the blue hundreds & thousands first), and traditional jellies such as aniseed rings, fruit rings and soft fruit jubes.

In the 1960s, Rudi Moser was joined by two of Walter Eger's sons, Michael and Andrew Eger. Over the next twenty years the trio strengthened the company, firmly establishing its place in the Australian market, and the overseas market, in particular England.

Rudi Moser's son-in-law, Ken Klooger, joined the company in 1987.

In 1991, the jelly production was relocated to larger premises at Notting Hill, in Melbourne's south-east.

In 1992, inspired by trends in the European market, Sunrise founded The Natural Confectionery Co. as an umbrella brand for their new line of products using no artificial colours and no artificial flavours. It began as a small range named Binka's, consisting of 3 products aimed at a niche market, but evolved in response to considerable demand. In June 1997, the emphasis shifted from Binka's to The Natural Confectionery Co. Due to successful advertising and marketing campaigns, increased distribution and a growing range of products, sales grew dramatically.

By 2003, The Natural Confectionery Co. product range consisted of 18 products, including sweet, sour and soft jubes. The Natural Confectionery Company's jellies had become the most popular jelly product on Australian supermarket shelves.
