How They Were Advertised
Old Slogans
Minstrels used to have a very famous slogan: "The chocolates that melt in your mouth, not in your hand." This catchy phrase was used in British TV ads back in the 1980s. Interestingly, this same slogan was also used for other candies like Treets in the 1960s and M&M's up until the 1990s.
Newer Campaigns
In July 2008, a new advertising campaign for Minstrels started in Britain. It came with a new slogan: "Sophisticated sharing." One of their advertisements showed two women enjoying Minstrels. They were in a fancy theater, talking about their seats and how good the sound was.
