Talk:Minties

Ingredients?
I came here after someone said they are not vegan. What is in them? Hi --Hugh7 (talk) 07:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
 * See the list of main ingredients in the infobox. Not certain whether gelatin used in Minties is vegan or not. Dan arndt (talk) 03:42, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Manufacturing
The article claims the lollies are made in Australia and New Zealand for their respective markets. This newspaper article "Minties go soft after production exported" from 2009 suggests the New Zealand mints are manufactured in Thailand and have been for some time. 155.63.200.55 (talk) 00:14, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Is it just me or did minties used to be soft? I preferred them that way :(.

It's moments like these ... Morrissey
Of the featured cartoonists who drew for Minties one, "Morrissey", remains unreferenced, though from this advertisement http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/26198494 it would appear he was well-known in the mid-1940s. Any leads? I've looked in Encyclopaedia of Australian Art (Alan McCulloch), The Inked-in Image (Vane Lindesay), Panel by Panel (John Ryan) and checked DAAO Doug butler (talk) 03:45, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Adrian Parkes
Thank you, in advance. 149.171.155.146 (talk) 08:34, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Who was "Adrian Parkes"? (unable to isolate any information at all about him)
 * Upon what authority can it be said that he was responsible for the "Cricketears" collection? (There is nothing in any of the advertisements that identifies him by name)
 * Also, what is the name of the iconic little flower that appears in each of the cartoons in the set?
 * Does this little flower have some additional significance; other than, that is, identifying his work — e.g., has it something to do with his real name (as with the fish-hook in each of Jeff Hook's cartoons).


 * (1) The artist is female; not male.
 * (2) She is Adrienne Parkes (1910-1943), also known as Kitty Parkes.
 * (3) She was the grand-daughter of Sir Henry Parkes; and was a cartoonist, illustrator, print-maker and writer.
 * (4) The signature flower on each of the cartoons confirms that she was the artist..
 * (5) I have changed "Adrian Parkes" to "Adrienne Parkes". Lindsay658 (talk) 23:51, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
