Evil Sid Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 No not what it will cost to fill in all the potholes but the number of Uncle Joes Mintballs produced since the factory started up. The Uncle Joes factory celebrated this week as the 2 billionth Uncle Joes Mintball rolled off the production line. The 2 billionth one is to be put in museum in celebration. "Uncle Joe?s Mint Balls keep you all aglow Give ?em to your grannie and watch the beggar go Away with coughs and sniffles, take a few in hand Suck ?em and see, you?ll agree They?re the best in all the land" Nice to see that some things are making a go of it in these times of austerity.

harry hayes Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Stupid me bought a tin of Uncle Joes about 10 years ago to keep as a collectors item. They are still using the same tins. When the Queens cinema was the be all and end all of social life, 4 uncle joes for a penny could last the whole 2 hours. Good job they have started wrapping them- look how I've ended up. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Not had an uncles joes mint ball for years, they were one of my mums favourites and I remember always sneaking a couple when she wasn't looking. I didn't know you could still buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 If I remember right, once in a while you?d get one that was soooo flipping hot it?d burn your mouth out. Whether this was just down to poor mixing or someone at the factory with a perverted sense of humour I suppose we?ll never know.

Dizzy Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Maye it didn't come from the factory at all Bill and someone was planting them in your tin to hopefully silence you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 They only sold them in tins south of the river Diz ours came in paper bags. Good thinking though, the WWW maffia at it again. Recognise any? I sure Gary's in there somewhere Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
