Junior Mints

Junior Mints were introduced to the candy market in 1949 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by the James O. Welch Company. The name grew out of a pun on a play based on Sally Benson's Junior Miss story collection from The New Yorker.

The name stuck with Welch, who was a spectator at the play, and he eventually used it to influence the name of his miniature chocolate-covered mint patties six years later.

Today, the brand is owned and produced by Tootsie Roll Industries, which makes more than 15 million Junior Mints every day.
