Double mint gum individually wrapped.
I'm talking early to mid 70's. http://www.tictac.com/en/tic-tac-history I got onto these early because my grandmother owned a take away.
I certainly remember Wrigleys Double Mint, my old man work as the manager of an RSL club and would bring home Chewy, Smith's Chips and Pepsi for us boys every so often.
Come to think of it he liked Pepsi and I like Coca-Cola. Yet it would always be Pepsi he bought home.

ABBA did the ad for this brand in the mid 70's and Victoria Nichols did a TV ad in the late 70's.

Yes, you can still get them. Somewhat smaller and the flavour is not as intense.

I seem to remember John Farnham's "Don't you know it's magic" sung about a Mazda? "Don't you know it's Mazda, oh baby it's Mazda. Get behind the wheel you'll find it amazing, luxury and comfort...."

I still have a couple of packets of throwdowns from my primary school days. Wonder if they would still work?

I'll have to take some photo's of some of my collection.
