Mints are practically a necessity. Their breath-saving abilities have made them this way ever since bad breath started stinking up our lives. While everyone has their favorite brand, chances are that you’ve at least heard of Choward’s Mints, even if you don’t eat them yourself. But, do you know the history of these time-tested, breath-saving treats? If not, stick around to find out more.
Way back in the early 1930’s, Charles Howard had a mission. He wanted to create “unique and different flavored candy,” that would set itself apart from competitors on the market. Thus, he created C. Howard Company Inc. in New York City.
Violet in appearance and taste, Choward’s Violet Mints were Howard’s first product, and were exactly the sort of “unique” and “different” he was looking for. He took his product down to the streets of Manhattan, selling on street corners to build a name for himself and his brand.
After the success of the Violet Mints, Howard created Choward’s Scented Gum. These were purple colored gum tablets that offered a new take on chewing gum. These also took off, and soon Howard had a highly popular company on his hands.
Over the years, he expanded to peppermints, spearmints, and lemon mints, growing his company every step of the way. And, as it turns out, not even death could stop C. Howard Copmany Inc., from growing. For when he died, Howard gave his company to a long-time valued employee, Elizabeth Juhase.
In the 1970’s, Juhase asked her nephews to help her run the business, and they’ve been running it as a family affair, ever since.
In recent years, Choward’s Mints have shown no sign of slowing down, either. In 2009-2010, the company introduced Guava as a new flavor, adding a more tropical side to the brand. In the February 2012 issue of Oprah Magazine, Choward’s are mentioned as well. Also in 2012, Choward's was featured in the "Far Away Places" episode of Mad Men when Peggy frantically searches for a pack of Violet Mints before a presentation that Don gave her as a good luck charm. And, in 2013, the candy made an appearance on the popular crime drama NCIS.
So if you’re a long time Choward’s fan, or you’re just now discovering them, take heart! This classic looks like its here to stay.

[message]Was easier than usual to find the Adkinson's sugar free peanut butter bars that are my favorite snack. Checkout was much easier and faster than usual. Getting a confirmation email was also much quicker. FedEx delivery was a day later than projected.
Love them

I ordered sugarless Bubbleyum because it was advertised that you sell it ... What was delivered to me was NOT sugarless Bubbleyum but was ORIGINAL BUBBLEYUM that I did NOT order ... I ordered SUGARLESS BUBBLEYUM and NOT original Bubbleyum for a reason. I was/am very disappointed. I sent email to customer service and got no response. Thank you anyway.
Hi Rebecca, we're sorry you didn't reach out to us with this issue before leaving a review. If you had, we'd have been able to explain to you that we do not carry sugarless Bubble Yum. And have not done for some many years. In fact, when looking at your order, it appears that you did order the Original Bubble Yum; a confirmation email with this information for your records at the time of your purchase on October 29th.
Couldn’t find these gems in any local store to me so I ordered 5 pounds they were fresh, taste was perfect and they arrived a day early!!!
