The rich in Europe always had dinner at a later hour and always
finished with a very expensive truffle. Nestle wanted to find there
way into that market and came out with this dark chocolate filled
with a very creamy mint filling. The wrapper could not be any warpper it had to be a step above the rest. Then the name had
to get the attention. So it became the After Eight Mint which also
was put on the pillow at the most expensive hotels.

People used to have dinner earlier in the old days. So dinner was pretty much over by 8 p.m. and then they popped this. Mint for breath and chocolate as an aphrodisiac.

These are generally recognised as the polite companies beer-o-meter, if you are drunk enough to indulge in one of these gas inducing slivers of mint chocolate confectionary, you'll probably be drunk enough to make a pass at either the hostess, your girlfriends best friend or mother and in extreme circumstances your sister... how many drinks is the fulcrum of this test... yup you guessed it after 8....

designed to be eaten in the evening after a main meal - it's chocolate and mint but also a kind of palette cleanser at the same time... (or so the theory goes...)

Its called an 'after 8' because it helps freshen the breath after your 8th pint of course.
