taxman Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I just spoke to someone who had never heard of Uncle Joe's Mint Balls! I couldn't believe it, I thought they were as well known as Vimto, Murray Mints and Blackjacks! Is it a Lancashire thing? Do you Sheffielders know what I'm talking about? There's even a song about them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
