Most definitely Minstrels. Not M&Ms, if that's what you're thinking.

I think we can settle this one for all time gentlemen, thanks to the wonderful TV Cream website:

"the long-lost Treets were "Sealed in a crispy shell", while Minstrels "melt in your mouth, not in your hand" (slogan set to the same sort of iffy power pop as the Mars ads)"

(btw, check out the whole website http://tv.cream.org - according to Mrs PP, it's "one of the best ever"...)

Def think it's M+Ms,some of the lads think its Maltesers,which I think is wrong.Minstrels are a different kettle of fish altogether.I'm still not sure.

How could it be Maltesers? They clearly melt in your hand!

I'm nearly sure it's M&Ms.

Can none of you lot read? If you can, try about halfway down the page. 'Tis as plain as the nose on your face:

"the long-lost Treets were "Sealed in a crispy shell", while Minstrels "melt in your mouth, not in your hand" (slogan set to the same sort of iffy power pop as the Mars ads)"

Honestly!

Still don't believe it it has to be M&Ms,Minstrels were never popular.

100% defo on that !

**Plastic Paddy** · 21/04/2004, 11:38 AM

I can only think this is a generational thing, and (said in best patronising voice) you young'uns weren't around to know...

To clarify once and for all, Minstrels had that slogan long before M&Ms were even launched in Europe.

ok just got an email and to cut a long story short......the end had "what were you thinking, it was an M'n'M they melt in your mouth not in your hand"........
