Wot was the former name of "pacers"the sweets?!
Edit.... yeah thought so ...Opal Mints/Pacers found on www.nostalgiacentral.com/pop/sweets.htm
Started off with a spearmint leaf motif on the wrappers as a purely white minty alternative to Opal Fruits (with lots of ice-oriented TV advertising). Then along came a name change and then the green spearmint stripe. The adverts for the new look Pacer featured the old trusty people in white on ice skates suddenly being hit by green, at which point their t-shirts became green and white striped. Tasted like a tube of Colgate toothpaste dissolved in a swimming pool.
Answers: They were actually called Opal mints, I'm certain (I think).

Where? Have you found any? I haven't seen them since I was an egg! I think they've always been called Pacers but they disappeared a LONG time ago. If you have found them can you tell me where? I love, love, love them :)
those were my favourite sweet and as far as i remember they were always called pacers. they were white then they decided to put a green stripe through and then they disappeared. they should bring them back !
I think they were always called pacers. They looked like Opal Fruits / Starburst
Yup, they were Opal Mints. Definitely.
I always thought they'd only been known as Pacers.
I wish they'd bring them back, I loved them.
