Pacers (confectionery)

Pacers is a discontinued British brand of mint flavoured confection, manufactured by Mars.
Originally known as "Opal Mints", they were plain white coloured chewy spearmint flavoured sweets, launched as a sister product to Opal Fruits. The product was subsequently relaunched as Pacers around 1976, and later, three green peppermint stripes were added to the sweet, possibly to align it with a similar American product of the same name. Television commercials for the sweet alluded to sport and fitness, with participants wearing green and white-striped kit, featuring the slogan "Peppermint striped for two-mint freshness". The brand was discontinued in 1985.
At one point the Glasgow Celtic football team were nicknamed "The Pacers" because of the similarity of their kit to the sweets.
