About the Brand
Around the turn of the 19th century, during the reign of King George III, the recipe for the original Altoids was perfected by Smith & Company, a London confectionary firm. They were first sold in the U.S. in 1918, packaged in small, rectangular cardboard cartons. The iconic tins recognizable today were introduced in the 1920s to protect the mints and keep them neatly closed in pockets and handbags. Today, the Altoids line includes mints, sours, and gum.
Why Are They Called Altoids?
The exact origin of the name is unclear, but it seems that during the 19th century, confections were given names employing the -oids suffix to imply a medicinal benefit. Altoids were promoted for over a century as a stomach calmative, although they provide no medicinal benefit. Smith & Company marketed several other remedies with -oids in their names, such as Benoids, Zenoids, Cyphoids, and Notoids.
