    Polo mints new marketing campaign

    Seriously though, who crunches on Polos? Even listening to crunching sound in the ad makes my teeth cry :eek:

    Oh right, that what this threads about.

    Right so, I'll be on my way.

    Sucker definitely.
    What ever happened to the little bits that filled the hole in??

    It's probably the only advertising campaign that actually made me want to go out and buy a packet to find out. Fair play to them.

    I used to eat them by the dozen years ago but still wasn't sure.

    Any normal, reasonable person would suck for a while, then crunch.

    Louise Barrett, POLO Brand Manager, says: “We’re really excited about igniting the POLO sucking vs. crunching debate among target consumers with our biggest campaign for ten years.”

    Don't know if they are still about but a few years ago they had them in a box as mints too.

    I've only recently starting buying polos again,

    and have immediately set about my childhood task of making it as small as you can without breaking the ring!

    Anyone remember the lemon ones they had? they were nice, i was never a fan of the fruit ones

    Holy ****! :eek: I didn't realise that's what those little mints were for, filling in the hole in the polo. They were the ones in the small metal box, right? Cool :cool:

    I heard only sociopaths crunch straight away.

    mint flavor saliva, thats what it is
    and then theres the fact that most mints are at least 98% sugar. there must be a HUGE price mark up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 Dreams.Ahead


    I'm a sucker - it makes the packet last longer. I haven't bought a packet in years to be honest, but I might as well now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,739 ✭✭✭johnmcdnl


    I misread it because i'm blind ok and I though it was rolo's not polo's so my vote is now void - who the hell would bite straight into a polo for fear of breaking your tooth in half:eek::eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,889 ✭✭✭evercloserunion


    How much is the OP being paid for this??

    Anyway, I miss the ads they used to have where the mints got their holes punched out.
