Varieties of the original Toffos
Toffo was a British brand of toffee, produced by Mackintosh's. They came individually wrapped, in a roll, and were available in plain, mint, and assorted (apple, strawberry, pineapple, banana, and mint) flavours.[1] It was one of its main brands along with polo, quality street, toffee crisp, Fox's Glacier Mints, and caramac.[2] Its original advertising slogan was "a man’s gotta chew what a man’s gotta chew".[3][4] Production was taken over by Rowntree Mackintosh Confectionery after Rowntree's merged with Mackintosh's in 1969.[5]
Toffo was discontinued in 2005[1][6][7] before being resurrected by Nestlé, in a small 19.2g tube, produced in the United Arab Emirates.[6][8]
