They became Opal Mints and were later discontinued.

I thought they were Opal Mints before they were Pacers.

I could be wrong. We need Oldspice for this one, she was a big fan.

LOL  OK. Opal Mints became Pacers. Opal Mints were around all through my early childhood and acquired green stripes and a new name in the late 70s I would guess.
 

Incidently, does anyone remember Opal Toffees? These were briefly available, probably early to mid 60s but no one seems  to remember them.

Good, I'm glad I got something right!  Don't remember Opal Toffees though Oldspice - sorry.

Well I can just about remember them but they disappeared very quickly and they could almost have been a figment of my imagination!  I would never have eaten any because I'm not fond of toffee.
