Long one of Australians’ favourite lollies, Minties turn 100 this month.
Pyalong resident Steven Brown has worked at Allen’s lollies for more than 30 years.
Starting as an engineering apprentice, Mr Brown has seen plenty of change during his time with Allen’s, but he believes Minties have got what it takes to last another 100 years.
‘”They are really distinctive in flavour and distinctive chew,“ Mr Brown said.
“I love the cartoons on the wrapper. It’s a sign of the times when you look at the wrapper.
“{Everyone's got a story about Minties.
“My earliest memory is visiting my grandma on school holidays and after dinner she would have a jar of Minties and hand them around.”
