When I was younger my nan used to have mints - that I thought were called Trebour Mints. They were in a similar packets to Polo's, but they had no hole. They were not extra strong. No one seems to remember them.
Can anyone help

Yep. When I was about 5 we used to sing a different version of the jingle: Trebor mints are a minty bit stronger, stick 'em up your bum and they last a bit longer.

Of course. But nowadays they usually come in a tear-open plastic bag rather than a roll. It is Trebor, not Trebour, and there are lots of species and varieties. (Species = mints, toffee, etc. Variety of mint = imperial, strong, extra strong, etc and of toffee = mint, butter, etc)

Yep, Trebor Mints, named after their inventor, whose name was Robert. Spelt it backwards :)
