In September 2002, Fox's Liquorice & Aniseed (Glacier Dark) was launched as an addition to the range. Fox's Confectionery Ltd was an English confectionery company based in Braunstone, Leicester which was founded in 1880. Peppy (from peppermint) [2] the polar bear is the original trademark used for Fox's Glacier Mints and was created by Leicester-based artist C. Reginald Dalby, better known for illustrating The Railway Series books by the Rev. W. Awdry. [3]Around the same time, Fox's commissioned a taxidermist to obtain and stuff a real-life polar bear to display and to bring to large public events such as football matches, carnivals and fairgrounds as an advertisement for Fox's Glacier Mints. Travelling all over the country, Peppy is reported to have been joined by as many as four more stuffed polar bears. Glacier Mints were first created in 1918 by Eric Fox. [1] [3] [4] To begin with, they were called Acme Clear Mint Fingers, [5] but this was changed to Glacier Mints in 1919, apparently on the advice of Eric Fox's wife. [2] [4] From 1928, the mints have been individually wrapped. [5] You can now visit the original Peppy and offer him a mint in the Abbey Pumping Station Museum in Leicester, the city in which the company was founded. The rebrand aims to bring the sweet to new audiences, according to Derek&Eric co-founder Adam Swan. Hard sweets like Fox’s are a “declining category” amid the popularity of soft sweets like Haribo and the new branding hopes to “sway it to a younger consumer”, he adds. Not only do these mints look unique, but their taste is like no other mint. These peppermint mints, with their natural mint oils, give you a super-fresh, minty taste which is perfect for a long car journey, walk or simply to enjoy at home.

The iconic Fox's Glacier Mint was developed by confectioner Eric Fox in 1918 and over 100 years later this is still a firm favourite at AQuarterOf.co.uk. In 1918, the clear mints started to be produced on a larger scale and sold in glass jars and named Clear Mint Fingers! A bit fancier than your standard mints or paper bagged penny sweets - these are are your premium mints. In line with the rest of Fox's Glacier range, the product is produced using real liquorice extract to deliver an intense and unique flavour. Since the launch of the product in 2002, the product has become a strong member of Fox's Glacier family and demand for the product is growing year on year. In August 2005 Liquorice & Aniseed rebranded to Fox's Glacier Dark with an updated contemporary design to ensure consistency throughout the Glacier range. Walter Richard Fox, the founder of Fox's Confectionery, originally manufactured sweets as part of the Joyce and Fox partnership, but this was dissolved in 1897. Fox continued to make confectionery, and was joined in 1914 by his son Eric. [2] Product creation and development [ edit ]
