Date:<\/strong> Unspecified (after 1922)<\/em>
\nPeople pictured:<\/strong> Unidentified<\/em>

When it comes to lollies, Minties (now called ‘Allens Minties’ and manufactured by Nestle) are a bit of an Australian classic. What with the party game ‘Mintie hunt’ (as opposed to peanut hunt) and the ‘who can make the longest Mintie wrapper’ challenge….Minties were well established as a part of our childhood.<\/p>\n

Minties were invented in 1922 by James Stedman<\/a> (his company also invented Jaffas and Fantales!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
