Altoids are a brand of breath mints that have existed since the turn of the 19th century. Altoids are less popular in Britain—their country of origin—than in the regions to which they are exported. Callard & Bowser-Suchard manufacture and produce Altoids at a plant in Bridgend, Wales, although Wrigley, the brand's owner, announced in mid 2005 they planned to move Altoids' production to an existing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in order to manufacture its products closer to where they are sold.
The history of Altoids dates back to the reign of King George III. The brand was created by a London-based Smith & Company in the 1780s but eventually became part of the Callard & Bowser company in the 1800s. Their advertising slogan has been "The Original Celebrated Curiously Strong (insert flavour here) Mints" for a number of years, referring to the high concentration of peppermint oil used in the original flavour lozenge. The "Story of Altoids" text is printed on the paper liner inside certain tins.
Fisherman's Friend are strong menthol lozenges produced in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England.
Fisherman's Friend were originally developed by a young pharmacist named James Lofthouse in 1865 to relieve various respiratory problems suffered by fishermen working in the extreme conditions of the Icelandic deep-sea fishing grounds. Originally developed as an extremely strong liquid remedy containing menthol and eucalyptus oil, Lofthouse made this liquid into small lozenges which were easier to transport and to administer. According to the manufacturer, the fishermen soon began to refer to the lozenges as their "friends", hence the name. The lozenges exist in their current form relatively unchanged since their creation. The lozenges still come in their famous paper packets, although these are now foil-lined and sometimes packaged inside a cardboard carton.
This category contains pages about cough drops. Cough drops may referred to by any of the following names: * cough drop * cough lozenge * cough medicine * cough suppressant * cough suppressant / oral anesthetic * oral anesthetic * sore throat drop * sore throat lozenge * sore throat medicine * throat drop * throat lozenge * throat medicine Cough drops and throat lozenges are actually separate products, although they are often confused in common terminology. Cough drops are intended to reduce coughing. Throat lozenges are intended to sooth the pain of a sore throat.
Fruit Roll-Ups is a brand of fruit snack that debuted in grocery stores across the United States circa 1979.http://www.dmnews.com/The-many-flavors-of-Search-Fruit-Roll-Ups/article/92942/ Fruit Roll-Ups are manufactured by General Mills and distributed under the Betty Crocker brand in the United States and the Uncle Tobys brand in Australia. The snack is a flat, pectin-based fruit-flavored candy, wrapped around a piece of cellophane for easier removal. Often the consumer must unwrap the cellophane an extra revolution in order to remove the snack due to its tendency to stick to itself. Fruit Roll-Ups is very similar to Fruit by the Foot (also a General Mills Snack). In the United States, retail Fruit Roll-Ups are sold in boxes of 10.
Life Savers is an American brand of ring-shaped mints and artificially fruit-flavored hard candy. The candy is known for its distinctive packaging, coming in aluminum foil rolls.
In 1912, chocolate manufacturer Clarence Crane of Garrettsville, Ohio invented Life Savers as a "summer candy" that could withstand heat better than chocolate. Since the mints looked like miniature life preservers, he called them Life Savers. After registering the trademark, Crane sold the rights to the peppermint candy to Edward Noble (1882–1958) for $2,900. Instead of using cardboard rolls, which were not very successful, Noble created tin-foil wrappers to keep the mints fresh. Pep-O-Mint was the first Life Savers flavor. Noble founded the Life Savers Candy Company in 1913 and significantly expanded the market for the candy by installing Life Savers displays next to the cash registers of restaurants and grocery stores. He also trained the owners of the establishments to always give customers a nickel in their change as doing so would increase sales of Life Savers. Since then, many different flavors of Life Savers have been produced. The five-flavor roll first appeared in 1935.
Life Savers was a subsidiary of Kraft Foods before being purchased by the Wrigley Company in 2004. In recent years, the brand has expanded to include Gummi Savers (currently known as Life Savers Gummies) in 1992, Life Saver Minis in 1996, Creme Savers in 1998, and Life Saver Fusions in 2001. Discontinued varieties include: Fruit Juicers, Holes, Life Saver Lollipops and Squeezit.
An energy bar is a dietary supplement often consumed by athletes or other physically active people to maintain their calorific needs in light of their strenuous physical activity.
As the name indicates, they are mainly a source of food energy, primarily complex carbohydrates. Some bars contain a source of protein (often whey, casein, or soy), as well as a selection of vitamins and minerals. The flavours added to the ingredients often make them resemble baked goods, such as cookies or muffins, to make them more appealing.
The packaging of a typical bar will provide a precise nutritional breakdown in order to assist the athlete in maintaining a dietary regimen. Major brand names in North America include the Balance Bar, PowerBar, Odwalla Food Bar, and Clif Bar. It is also possible to make one's own energy bars, following a recipe or using a baking mix.
Nigroids is the brand name of a liquorice sweet made by Ernest Jackson & Company Ltd of Crediton in Devon. The small black pellets are particularly marketed as an expectorant lozenge for singers, using the slogan "for clarity of voice".
The principal ingredient of Nigroids is liquorice block juice. The company advises that not more than 10 pellets should be consumed in a day, due to the laxative effects of liquorice. No sugar is used. Small quantities of other flavourings such as menthol, eucalyptus and peppermint are added, to help the pellets act as a breath mint.
Directly comparable products include "Tabu", manufactured in Italy by Menozzi & De Rosa of Milan.
Mentos is a brand of mints, of the "scotch mint" type, sold in many markets across the world by the Perfetti Van Melle Corporation. Mentos was first produced in the Netherlands during the 1950s. The mints are small oblate spheroids, with a slightly hard exterior and a soft, chewy interior. They are sold in rolls which typically contain 14 candies, although the new "Sour Mix" flavor contains only 11 candies per roll. Certain flavors are sold in boxes in the United States and the United Kingdom, and the rolls in three and six-packs. The slogan of Mentos is "The FreshMaker." Most Mentos packages describe the candy as "chewy dragées." The typical Mentos roll is approximately 3/4-inch in diameter, 6/16-inches tall and 1.3 ounces.
Fruit by the Foot is a fruit snack made by General Mills. Fruit by the Foot was most popular during the late-1980s–early-1990shttp://agexted.cas.psu.edu/FCS/mk/Docs/YoungPeople.pdf., but is still in production.
Fruit by the Foot is very similar to a Fruit Roll-Ups (also a General Mills product), in its presentation of being rolled up within itself, but differs in taste, dimension and consumption methods. It is also similar to the point that people refer to Fruit by the Foot as "Fruit Roll-Ups". The candy is 3 feet long, and has a loop at the end. Current marketing slogans include "3 Feet of Fun!"
The original Fruit by the Foot came with a long sticker which is no longer included because children would stick them all over school property. Since at least the 1990s, the paper backing has been printed with games, jokes, or trivia facts.
Joray Fruit Rolls, the original fruit roll-up, is an apricot-based candy produced by Joseph Shalhoub & Son, Inc, and has been around since 1886. Joray Fruit Rolls have been produced in New York City for over a hundred years, ever since the founder George Shalhoub started a bakery after his immigration from Lebanon. The fruit roll is actually derivative of the Lebanese confection, armadeen, a thick paste made from dried apricots. To this day, dried apricots are the predominant ingredient in all of the Joray fruit roll ups, and apricot is Joray's most popular flavor. Made from real fruit, these shoe leather, or fruit leather, products are not only fat-free and nutritious, but they are also completely kosher, which makes the fruit snacks a staple among the Jewish community.
Apteekin salmiakki (Pharmacist's salmiac) is a hard, diamond-shaped candy made by the Finnish company Haganol. It was first sold as a cough medicine in pharmacies, a practice which continues to the present day. It has been manufactured with the same recipe since 1951.

CalorieMate (カロリーメイト) is a brand of energy-supplement foods produced by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., in Japan. It was first released in 1983 debuting with the cheese flavored block.
CalorieMate comes in several forms, including Block, Jelly, and Can. CalorieMate Block (カロリーメイト ブロック) resembles a bar-shaped cookie (somewhat like a shortbread), sold in packs of either two or four. CalorieMate Jelly (カロリーメイト ゼリー) is a gelatin sold in a pouch with a spout. CalorieMate Can (カロリーメイト 缶) is a canned drink. The packaging is quite plain, almost generic.
Non-dairy creamers are substances which are intended to substitute for milk or cream as an additive for coffee, or other beverages; they do not contain lactose, and are therefore not considered dairy products. Non-dairy creamers typically contain sodium caseinate, and a milk protein (casein) derivative that does not contain lactose. Other common ingredients include corn syrup and vegetable juice solids. Some creamers are based on soy candels rather than on milk fat.
Nestlé Coffee-Mate, introduced in 1961, was the first powdered non-dairy creamer. Today creamers are available in both powder and liquid forms, and with various flavorings added.
Tyrkisk Peber (Danish for "Turkish Pepper", often referred to as "Turkinpippuri" in Finland, "Tyrkisk Pepper" in Norway and "Turkisk Peppar" in Sweden) is a strong liquorice candy flavored with ammonium chloride (salmiakki) and pepper, made by the Finnish company Fazer and popular in the country. Tyrkisk Peber was originally invented by Per Fjelsten in 1976 and made by the Danish company Perelly, which was taken over by Fazer.
The basic variant is a large, hollow round shell both coated and filled with salmiakki powder. It is sold in dark blue bags. The Tyrkisk Peber product family has recently expanded to include the “Hot & Sour” (a milder variant of the traditional design, produced in four different flavours) and “Bonfire” (soft, much milder candies) bagged variants, as well as lollipops and filled licorice. There has also been a chili flavored version and a strongly licorice-flavored version with less of the ammonium chloride and peppercorn flavoring, but these have since been discontinued. The licorice-flavored variant can still be found as one of the flavors in the “Hot & Sour” bags, though. Tyrkisk Peber ice cream is sold by Hjem-IS/Kotijäätelö in Norway and Finland.Hjem-IS - Voksenis<!-- Bot generated title -->
It no doubt adds to their popularity that Tyrkisk Peber is sometimes used to make the Finnish cocktail salmiakkikoskenkorva and similar Danish, Norwegian and Swedish cocktails. When Perelly manufactured Tyrkish Peber, it was also available as powder. The powder was often used to make the cocktail, which in Denmark is known as sorte svin, små grå, or hot shot, in Sweden as lakritsshot, and in Norway as tyrker or lakrisshot.
Tyrkisk Peber is hygroscopic, and if left in an unsealed bag it will absorb water from the air and stick together after a few days.
In the October 12th, 2008 episode of the Giant Bombcast Podcast the staff of gaming website Giant Bomb tasted Tyrkisk Peber on an episode of their podcast. All four members enjoyed the candy until they tasted the salmiakki powder when they bit into the center at the same time. They commented on the strong taste with quotes such as, "It's so terrible, why would anybody do that?" and, "It's like they filled it with poison" Giant Bombcast 10-12-2008 (Relevant segment starts approx. 20:50)
Cool Whip is a brand of non-dairy whipped cream substitute called a "whipped topping" by its manufacturer. It is used in North America as a dessert topping and in some no-bake pie recipes. It is generally described as "non-dairy" as it contains no cream or milk and no lactose, however it contains the milk-derivative casein.
Salty liquorice or salmiak (salmiakki in Finnish) is a variety of liquorice (confectionery) that contains a relatively large amount of ammonium chloride (NH<sub>4</sub>Cl, "salmiac") in addition to the liquorice root extract, sugar, and starch or gum arabic that constitute normal liquorice. Ammonium chloride has a spicy taste that vaguely resembles that of sodium chloride (table salt). However, salty liquorice does not contain any sodium chloride. Although some types of regular liquorice can also contain a small amount of ammonium chloride, salty liquorice can contain up to about 8 percent of ammonium chloride. Moreover, the salty taste is typically less masked by a high sugar content compared to regular liquorice.The Dutch manufacturer Meenk offers detailed ingredient lists of their products: regular and salty liquorice candy (in Dutch).
Salty liquorice candies are almost always black or very dark brown and can range from very soft to very hard and may be brittle. The other colours used are white and variants of grey. Carbon black is used as a food colouring agent in these candies.

PowerBar is an American maker of energy bars and other related products (particularly sports drinks, gel-based foodstuffs for distance athletes, and the Pria bars targeted at women).
The PowerBar company was founded by Brian Maxwell, a Canadian athlete and entrepreneur, in his kitchen with his girlfriend, Jennifer Biddulph, a nutritionist who later became his wife. He used $55,000 in cash to launch the company in 1986 in Berkeley, California. This was the first "energy bar" for use by endurance athletes, such as ultra marathoners and cyclists, while competing. This spawned a new category of food products that are now widely used as snack foods. He eventually acquired a headquarters building in downtown Berkeley.
The company eventually earned $150 million in sales before being purchased by Nestlé in 2000 for $375 million.
In February 2007, PowerBar moved its headquarters from Berkeley, CA to the Nestle headquarters in Glendale, CA. With the move came the hiring of an entirely new marketing team.
Swim champion Michael Phelps was also known to use this product.

Lakrisal is a brand of salty liquorice (liquorice and ammonium chloride flavored candy) sold in the Nordic countries and the Netherlands.
Unlike most salty liquorice candies, Lakrisal does not contain any starch or gum arabic. Instead, it is made almost entirely of sugar, liquorice and ammonium chloride. Because of this, Lakrisal drops are powdery, and have been pressed to stay in one piece like tablets.
Lakrisal is also unlike most salty liquorice candies by not being black. Instead, it is a very light brownish gray colour. Lakrisal drops are disk-shaped, about 18 mm in diameter and about 4 mm thick. They are sold in tubes of about 20 drops each.
In the 1980s, a new lemon-flavoured variety of Lakrisal was introduced. It proved quite unpopular and was soon discontinued. Another flavour was the "hot" Lakrisal that included chili pepper powder and pepper oil.
Pantteri (Finnish for "panther"), (sold in Sweden as Katten (Swedish for "cat")), is a brand of Finnish salmiakki candy, made by Fazer.
Pantteri candies were first invented in 1965 as small, black salmiakki and liquorice gum drops in a typical cardboard candy box, with a picture of a panther on the box cover. A sugar coating was later added to the drops, slightly altering their taste.
The most famous form of Pantteri, however, is the larger, sugar coated disc-shaped candies sold in a plastic bag, also with a picture of a panther on it. At first only salmiakki Pantteri candies were available, but in the 1990s Fazer introduced a fruit-flavoured version of Pantteri, "Pantteri Mix" (containing red, yellow and green fruit candies and normal salmiakki candies). Mixes of salmiakki and fruit candies are also available.
In the 2000s, the Pantteri drops sold in boxes were reverted to the original 1965 version, without the sugar coating. The text on the box says "Original Pantteri drops from 1965".
The newest additions are "Lumipantteri Mix" (Finnish for "snow panther") in summer 2006, "Pantteri Mix" candies with white coating, "Yöpantteri Mix" ("night panther") in spring 2007, featuring fruit and salmiakki candies, shaped like panthers, stars and moons and "Rock Pantteri Mix", containing many different salty liquorice and fruit candies.
Discontinued variations are "Musta Pantteri" (Finnish for "black panther"), which had a slightly higher ammonium chloride content than the regular salmiakki Pantteri and "Pantteri Duo", containing fruit Pantteri candies with a more exotic flavour and two different versions of salmiakki Pantteri candies.
Visible advertising campaigns are an important part of Pantteri's publicity image. They were awarded as best advertising campaign in Finland twice, in 1999 and 2000. One advertising campaign featured a fictional latino character called "El Pantero", sporting advertising slogans in mock Spanish such as "El Pantero baila" and "Baila y come". The current advertising campaign promotes "Panthóur", a humorous variation of the popular parkour sport.
In 2006, Fazer started selling Pantteri in Sweden as Katten.

Salmiakki Koskenkorva, (also Salmiakkikossu for short or generically as Salmari) is a pre-mixed vodka cocktail which caused a minor revolution in drinking culture in Finland during the 1990s. Today, Salmiakkikossu is the number one drink amongst locals and tourists in many pubs and nightclubs in Finland. Canonically it consists of Koskenkorva Viina vodka and ground up Turkish Pepper brand salty liquorice. Very similar drinks are popular in Denmark, but are referred to with names like sort svin or små grå instead.
The drink is a somewhat viscous liquid of characteristic black color, dark grayish brown in thinner layer. At closer view, very fine particulate of carbon black suspended in the liquid is visible.
Before the 1990s, Finland had a very thin and stratified cocktail culture. Some Finnish drinking establishments started serving a drink made out of ground ammonium chloride (salmiakki in Finnish) based candy. It became a trendy drink especially amongst the youth of the day, for which some consider and call it a "Teenager's vodka".
However, one must note that the origin and recipe of the beverage are based on anecdotal reference. The concept of mixing vodka and licorice probably existed long before the 1990s, since both Koskenkorva Viina vodka and Turkish Pepper licorice existed before the alleged invention the cocktail. On the other hand, Salmiakki Koskenkorva was one of the first pre-mixed cocktails that hit the market in Finland. Another well-known anecdote says that singer Jari Sillanpää invented the drink when he was working as a bartender in the late 1980s.
The taste of Salmiakki Koskenkorva resembles strongly that of black licorice and cough medicine (this is because the original mixture, see Apteekin salmiakki, used in Salmiakki Koskenkorva is also used in cough medicines), and has the additional effect of increasing salivation.

These include wafers, long-life confectionery, chocolate-based confectionery, sweets, cocoa and a variety of seasonal products.
The company's best-known product are the "Neapolitan wafers", introduced in 1898. They are sold in blocks of ten 47 x 17 x 17 mm hazelnut-cream filled wafers. The hazelnuts were originally imported from the Naples region in Italy, hence the name. The basic recipe has remained unchanged to this day.
The company logo is a picture of St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. This dates back to the 1890s, when Josef Manner opened his first shop right next to the Cathedral. There is an agreement between the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the Manner Company whereby the latter is allowed the use of the logo in return for paying the wages of one stone mason doing repair work on the Cathedral.

However, public awareness of the disease AIDS beginning around mid-1981 caused problems for the brand due to the phonetic similarity of names. Initially sales were not affected, but by 1988 the chairman of Dep Corporation announced that the company was seeking a new name because sales had dropped as much as 50 percent due to publicity about the disease.Associated Press, in New York Times March 4 1988 The product's name was changed to Diet Ayds (Aydslim in Britain), but eventually it was withdrawn from the market.
