Advertising Campaigns for Minstrels
Minstrels have had a few memorable advertising slogans over the years.
Early Slogans
One of their first famous slogans was "The chocolates that melt in your mouth, not in your hand". This slogan was used in British TV ads during 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. It helped people remember that Minstrels had a special coating that kept the chocolate from melting too quickly.
Modern Slogans
In July 2008, a new advertising campaign started in Britain. It came with a fresh slogan: "Sophisticated sharing". These newer ads often showed people enjoying Minstrels together in fun or fancy settings, highlighting that they are great for sharing with friends and family.
