After Eights are considered refined/fancy when they are filled with the crappiest artificial-tasting mint you've ever had in your life?

But they are hard to resist and before you know it, there are more empty wrappers in the box than after eights. Talking of which, do you remember the silver after eight holders you used to be able to have to look posh. My grandma had one in her (almost) penthouse flat in a council tower block!  |

The worst mint I ever tasted was a ready prepared meal of lamb with mint that I bought in the Co-op. Absolutely revolting and got thown away.
I used to cook a lot of lamb and always made real mint sauce as an accompaniment. My tastes now is to have lamb with redcurrant jelly. Although now I have to buy the redcurrant jelly it is not a patch on my former homemade (homegrown) redcurrants.

Not seen the silver thing before but it's very of its time, isn't it. Can't imagine seeing millennials wanting one. |

Is that the tower block equivalent of Pampas Grass growing in the front garden? |

Dutch mint tea. A handful of mint stems in a cup of boiling water. Knocks spots off anything you'll buy dried.

Not really a fan of any mint personally. At least this product has some dark chocolate to help neutralise the powerful mint taste. I don't like Terry's Chocolate Orange either, for me the orange spoils the taste of chocolate.

Atfer Eights were a family tradition on Christmas day and boxing day in our house, never to be eaten at any other time of the year... but now you've made it all weird 🤣 |
