Peppy

Peppy (mascot)

Peppy is the polar bear mascot and icon of Fox's Glacier Mints, a brand of boiled mint manufactured by Fox's Confectionery in the United Kingdom. Peppy was introduced to confectionery packaging in 1922. At around the same time, Fox's commissioned a taxidermist to shoot and stuff a real polar bear, which was put out on display at such public events as football matches and carnivals to advertise the Glacier Mints. The exhibition was taken all over the country, and eventually incorporated as many as four other stuffed polar bears. In the 1960s, after the advent of televised advertising and after Rowntrees acquired the company, the exhibition was deemed politically incorrect and was removed from public circulation. Television commercials which featured Peppy were later produced.
