Fantales​

Courtesy Australia Remember When

There was a time when our favourite lollies came in a box. Remember when you'd go to the pictures and buy a box of Fantales, Minties or Jaffas?
Fantales are still around today of course, now manufactured by Allens and are sold in cellophane or plastic bags. They were originally made by Sweetacres (who also made Jaffas back then) and were individually wrapped with each wrapper featuring the mini-biography of various movie stars.
Who remembers the distinctive blue box with the yellow fan? For a time they also promoted stars on the back of the box like this one from 1960 featuring J O'K, which comes from the National Film and Sound Archives.
