Some of these have been successes, whereas others have flopped. However, none have been as successful as the Original Polo mint. They are found in all major and minor newsagents, sweet shops, and supermarkets. Usually sold separately in tubes just about 10 cm tall containing 25 Polos, but can be found in multi-packs ranging from 3 to 6.
The tube of Polos is tightly wrapped with silver foil backed plastic. A blue paper wrapper, with the word 'POLO', binds the foil wrapper. The O's in 'Polo' are the images of the sweet. For the spearmint flavour, the paper wrapper is a darker green. A Polo is approximately 1. The original Polo is white in colour with a hole in the middle, and the word 'POLO' embossed on both sides 3 around the ring — hence the popular slogan — The Mint with the Hole.
The ingredients include: sugar, glucose syrup, modified starch, stearic acid of vegetable origin , and mint oils. They are usually sucked until they are thin and spindly and crushed under the eater's teeth. The application featured a white, annular mint without any lettering. This application however was opposed by Kraft Food, the current owner of Lifesavers, and Mars UK because of the lack of distinctive character of the mint in question. When Polos are crushed in a darkened room, triboluminescence 4 can be seen.
This blue light 5 is the result of friction between the sugar crystals when the Polos are broken. The sweet tends to crack or break along planes that are oppositely charged. When these positive and negative charges try to get back together, these charges 'jump' across the rift, like tiny lightning bolts.
