Peppy

Fox’s Glacier Mints have a history which dates back to 1918. The mints were developed by Eric Fox, one of the founders of the Fox’s Confectionery business. The sweets quickly established themselves as a favourite amongst consumers of all ages and today still have a strong, loyal and established customer base.

In 1922 Peppy the polar bear was introduced to both packs and advertising as the icon for the Glacier Mints product and he still remains on pack today not only on the Mint packaging but on all the variants of the Fox’s Glacier range.

In 1939 this Peppy was allegedly in the window display at the Harrods store in Knightsbridge.
