The Altoid Curiously Strong Mint.. Sadly no longer available in the UK (Unless you know differently). They are a luxury that we still enjoy because we buy them in packs of 12 direct from the U.S. of A.. "Looking Close On Friday".. "Candies"..
Candy Photo: One of my cousins bought me this box of candy for my birthday this year. My birthday is on September 2nd and when I took this photo on September 8th there was only one piece of this scrumptious butterscotch candy left. I love this candy, but it is NOT available in the United States. My cousins have to order this special candy online for me. It is made in Shropshire, but I think my cousin might have ordered this product from Europe. Why is no one in the United States making good quality butterscotch candy with REAL butter anymore? I remember "CALLARD & BOWSER'S" butterscotch candy. I used to love that candy. "CALLARD & BOWSER'S" got bought out by "ALTOIDS".

One of my favourite sweets from my childhood days - this was the larger box of the sweet cherry nougat that came individually wrapped in edible rice paper and then embossed silver foil. Callard and Bowser were formed in Glasgow in 1779 but by the late 20th century they had been bought out by various multi-national concerns although the brand survives due to the worldwide popularity of Altoids. However some of their recipes have recently been resurrected by a small U.K. company.

Callard & Bowser were London based confectioners whose Scottish origins dated back to the eighteenth century. Their ‘Best Wishes’ selection of chocolates and candies were very similar to other brands such as ‘Weekend’. A treat for the cinema or birthdays!

Their butterscotch was a very hard tablet, several of which fitted into this small cardboard and paper packet, that could be technically be broken into two smaller sections. Dentists friend I suspect!

In 2008 it became a division of the Wrigley Company who in turn are a subsidiary of the Mars Corporation and the only brand now produced under the Callard & Browser name are ‘Altoids’ peppermints.

Altoids are a brand of breath mints that have existed since the turn of the 19th century. Due to the way they have been marketed, Altoids are far less popular in their country of origin than in the regions they are exported to - Altoids are produced in Britain yet are not well known there. 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 flavor here) Mints" for a number of years, referring to the high concentration of peppermint oil used in the original flavor lozenge.
Altoids come in small tins that some have reused in a variety of ways, including storage of small items. Some report that an Altoids tin can be fashioned to be used as an emergency camping stove. They have also been used to create pinhole cameras, house small amateur radios, geocaches, MP3 players, cases for the Zen Micro tobacco or marijuana smoking devices, iPod battery packs, and even Cmoy portable headphone amplifiers. The small round tins are ideal containers for Sony PSP laser mini-discs. Altoids tins can also be used as containers for small (and quite complete) mini survival kits.

I ate my share of licorice toffees this trip and it brought me back to my teens when I loved Callard & Bowser candies: "Callard & Bowser was a venerated British confectioner, with origins way back in the 1830s." :>)!
We weren't wasting any time after a week in Bexhill since we now had East Sussex to Kent 7 day passes on the buses, so off to Rye, where we have stayed for all or some of our last 3 visits to the area but only for a day visit this time around -
