About Bonds of London Mint Humbugs
About Bonds of London Mint Humbugs
Mint humbugs are one of those British sweets that have never needed rebranding, reinventing or a limited-edition twist. They are what they are, and Bonds of London Mint Humbugs are a very good version of exactly that.
Each sweet is a proper boiled humbug: minty on the outside, with a chewy toffee centre that earns its keep. The 120g bag from Bonds of London is the classic format, the kind that used to sit in a jar on a sweetshop counter and get scooped into a paper bag by someone who had been doing it for thirty years and was not in a hurry.
For British expats in Canada, this is the sort of sweet that turns up in care packages or gets requested specifically by someone who knows what they want. The Great British Shop stocks Bonds of London Mint Humbugs as an imported UK product, which means no waiting on a parcel from home and no explaining to someone at an airport what to bring.
Bonds of London has been making traditional British sweets for a long time, and the mint humbug sits at the centre of that catalogue for good reason. It is the sweet your grandparents had in a dish on the coffee table, the one you were allowed to take one of, and the one you now find yourself buying a whole bag of.
Frequently asked questions about Bonds of London Mint Humbugs
Q: What do Bonds of London Mint Humbugs taste like?
A: Bonds of London Mint Humbugs are mint flavoured boiled sweets with a chewy toffee centre. The outside is hard and minty, and as you work through it you hit a softer, chewier middle. It is a combination that has been doing exactly what it promises for a very long time, which is probably why people who grew up with them tend to remember them so specifically.
Q: Are Bonds of London Mint Humbugs a traditional British sweet?
A: They are about as traditional as British sweets get. Humbugs have been a sweetshop staple for generations, and Bonds of London has been making classic British confectionery since 1895. The mint humbug format, a striped boiled sweet with a chewy toffee centre, is the sort of thing that lived in glass jars on the counter, came in a small paper bag, or appeared from a relative's pocket at exactly the right moment.
Q: What size is the Bonds of London Mint Humbugs bag available in Canada?
A: The bag available in Canada is 120g, which is a compact, easy-to-finish size. It is the sort of quantity that fits neatly into a British shop order alongside other traditional sweets, and sensible enough that you can tell yourself it is just the one bag. Bonds of London Mint Humbugs are imported from the United Kingdom, so this is the proper UK version rather than a loose substitute.
More about Bonds of London Mint Humbugs
Mint humbugs sit in a particular corner of the British sweet shop, alongside pear drops, cola cubes and rhubarb and custards: the boiled sweets that have been around long enough that nobody questions them. Bonds of London is one of the better-known names in this category, producing bagged traditional British sweets that lean into the classics rather than chasing trends.
For British expats in Canada, mint humbugs tend to be one of those specific requests that cannot easily be substituted. The combination of hard mint shell and chewy toffee centre is fairly particular to the British sweet-making tradition, and it is the kind of thing someone from Windsor or Toronto tends to remember by name rather than description.
The 120g bag is a sensible, cupboard-friendly size: easy to tuck away, no refrigeration needed, and the sort of thing that keeps well without any special attention. It is compact enough to include in a gift parcel or simply to have on hand when the craving arrives.
Bonds produces a range of traditional bagged sweets beyond mint humbugs, so if this is the starting point, there is usually more to explore. The Bonds in Canada collection covers the broader range, and the wider British sweets section is worth a look for anyone rebuilding a proper sweet tin.
Everything ships from within Canada, which means no overseas parcel delays and no customs surprises. Whether you are in Edmonton or somewhere further east, Bonds of London Mint Humbugs arrive as a straightforward Canadian order rather than an international gamble.

Every family had someone who always had a mint humbug on them. Coat pocket, glovebox, handbag, the bottom of a bag at the bus stop. You never once saw them buy any. They just had them, and offered you one with a look that said you had better not crunch it. Bonds of London is the sort of name behind that world. When the trade press wrote about it in 2016, they called it one of the UK's oldest sweet businesses. That is a lot of coat pockets.

Jars, bags and sherbet lemons
If you remember sweets weighed out from a big jar on a high shelf, you know where Bonds lives. The man who later bought the company said it has historically been known for traditional British sweets, the pick'n'mix jars and the hanging bags clipped up near the till. Its best-known jars are retro classics: sherbet lemons, wine gums. The kind of thing you were sent to the shop for with a fistful of coins and strict orders to bring back the change. You rarely did.
A deal worth a few humbugs
In April 2016, Bonds of London was bought by Innovative Bites, a US-foods wholesaler, in a multimillion-pound deal. Innovative Bites was founded in 2008 by Vishal Madhu, so a young company ended up holding one of the oldest names in British sweets. Managing director Philip Courtenay-Luck stayed on with the business. A year later, Innovative Bites went on to buy pick'n'mix wholesaler Hancocks Cash & Carry in a deal worth about £100m. Somebody over there clearly likes a sweet jar.
Still going round the car
A humbug is not a sweet you rush. It lasts a motorway junction or two. It gets passed into the back seat on long drives so everyone goes quiet for a bit, which was always the plan. It is what you offer the neighbour over the fence and what turns up in a coat you have not worn for months. Keep a bag in the car. Somebody will ask.
