After Eight Mint Thins

After Eight mint chocolate thins were originally created in 1962 by Brian Thompson at Rowntree & Company Limited in York, United Kingdom. Designed as an after-dinner confectionery, the brand became iconic for its thin chocolate squares filled with peppermint cream.

In 1988, Rowntree was acquired by the Swiss multinational Nestlé. Today, while the brand maintains its British heritage, production for most European markets, including the version bearing this specific barcode and bilingual labelling (German/English), takes place at Nestlé's specialist production facility in Hamburg, Germany.

Nestlé continues to manage the brand globally, maintaining its position as a premium chocolate offering. The brand's identity remains closely tied to luxury and formal dining etiquette, despite its widespread availability in modern retail supermarkets across the globe.
