Title: Mint Munchies to become After Eight bites
Post by: kevvosa on October 13, 2006, 06:28:58 pm

"Nestle Rowntree has moved its Mint Munchies brand into the After Eight stable and relaunched it as After Eight Bitesize.
According
to trade communications manager Graham Walker, After Eight has always
been ideal for formal sharing occasions but has recently moved into
more informal usage – thus the bitesize option. The sticks will be
available from the end of October and will retail at 51p"

Blimey, how many times can one product be rebranded? Remember when these were Mintolas? smurfboy39003.7347337963

The last time  I ate a regular After Eight mint I was struck by it's artificial taste and its atrocious chocolate and could not help thinking that it is living on its reputation as a former luxury treat when it has, in fact, become totally revolting.

I saw Cadbury Creme Egg ice cream at the supermarket; it's an ice cream on a stick and it didn't look egg shaped to me.

Back to the topic, I liked Munchies but hadn't seen them for a while. 51p seems a lot to me.

Munchies have always been a lot of money for the amount you actually get.  They must be very expensive to produce.

And the quality is not all that good is it? Cheap-tasting chocolate ought to be cheap-to-buy!

It is if you know where to look.

I've never been a fan of After Eight I must say, they were something my mum always insisted on getting every Christmas. I ate them just for the sake of it. Always preferred Quality Street.

I actually love the after eight ice creams. £1.00 for 4 can't be bad.
