Mysterious disappearance of Trebor Extra Strong mints

Black cats Kedi?

 

Yes, Black Cats. They have licorice here, brand name of Haribo, that look like little sitting black cats. On one of our trips down to Portugal we took Sis lots of bags of them. Oh, not only sitting cats, these are the really hard ones, but also Cat Paws, a soft licorice.

After seeing this thread this morning I have been racking my brains to remember the name of a lozenge that I loved and used to buy on every trip over to England. It was sort of like Fishermans Friend - but better! The shape was the same too. You could get them in the sweet shops and they were sold out of tall square tins, red ones if I remember correctly.

The name is on the tip of my tongue but that is as far as it gets. I hope one of you nice people will put me out of my misery and tell me the name.

 

Was it called Victory V ?

 

Yes, it was! Thank you jjordie! Now I can sign off and go to sleep without it dancing around in my head all night.

 

Mmmmmmm does sound like it jjordie if you don't mind me saying

 

Why couldn't we remember that name, Sis ??????? :eek:

I'll think you'll be having to send pete some Black Cats .... :rolleyes: Hope you don't have fillings, pete! :D :D

I remember IMPS, Sunshine. At the moment I have something my Sis got in Holland I think that is similar by wybert, they are liquorice/methol.
