Certs Mints
Certs are a brand of sweets whose defining feature is the hole in the middle. The peppermint flavored polo was first manufactured in the United Kingdom in 1948 by employee John Barge well at the Rowntree's Factory, York, a range of flavors followed. The name ‘Certs’ is reportedly from the word ‘Polar’ and is to symbolize the cool and fresh feeling one gets from sucking a Certs. Cert is a breath mint (or, according to some, a candy mint) manufactured by Cad bury Adams, formerly the American Chicle Company.Long one of America’s most popular mints, Certs was the first breath mint to be nationally marketed in the United States, and has been a fixture at American drug stores and convenience stores since its debut on the market in 1956.Though classified as mints, Certs actually contain no oils of any mint plant. Instead, as has long been advertised, the mints contain "Retsyn," a trademarked name for a mixture of copper gluconate, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, and flavoring. It is the copper gluconate in Retsyn which gives Certs its signature green flecks.
