I've actually always liked the After Eight Mints logo. I think it's stylish, and the clock really sets it off.

Has anyone tried eating them before 8? They're foul at 7.59, even in different timezones,

Ah, I've noticed it's only so in the edges. In the middle 8, it's just as nice.

Aren't After Eights also avaliable in orange?

All I know about middle 8s is that seven eight nine.

Gosh i used to make mint cream sweets. If i recall i used to add a bit of green food colouring. I'll ask my friend as she makes loads of sweeties. Her chocolate fudge is to die for.

I don't know much about music so i'm keeping out of this middle eight debate. I'm going to see the Twang this week so i'll listen out for a middle eight.

Please keep it relevant. All middle eight discussion belongs in the thread about After Eight mints.

I once observed a denture-wearing colleague glue her mouth together with several After Eights. It would've made a great Fixodent commercial!

In any box of After Eight Mints, there are always a large number of empty envelopes and no more than four or five actual mints. For me, this actually adds to the excitement of getting an After Eight offered. 'Am I gonna get one?' or 'am I not?'

Yep, Mint Munchies have been renamed... I am not sure if the recipe is different though.

I don't know if this qualifies as a middle 8, as it's repeated towards the end of the song, but Darren Hayes - Who Would Have Thought?
