Red Tulip After Dinner Mints​

Who remembers these? They were practically a prerequisite at every dinner party, or restaurant meal throughout the ‘70s and ‘80s. But Red Tulip didn’t invent after-dinner mints. The credit goes to Rowntree’s After Eight Mint Chocolate Thins, which originated in England and launched in 1962. Red Tulip followed suit, bringing their unique touch to Australian gatherings. Sadly, the company was taken over by Cadbury Schweppes in 1988, and in 2006, they ceased the production of these iconic treats. Do you have fond memories of these after-dinner treats?

Mint and chocolate - mmm! I well remember having these mints and not only for after dinner with friends. They were a lovely treat and had a beautiful flavour. Would love one of the chocolate manufacturers to bring them back.

We only ever had them if we had visitors and then we thought we were it and a bit!

They look yummy. I remember when staying at a hotel and they used to put chocolates on the pillow when they turned down the bed.

They might have been after dinner mints but who says I ate them after dinner
I stopped buying them because I couldn't stop eating them .
My other favourite was Mint Patties .
