Toffo (toffee)

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]

Varieties of the original Toffos

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]
