It's believed they were purchased from a Co-op in Altrincham
A grandson was stunned after finding a 27-year-old packet of Polos while cleaning out their late grandfather's house. John Junior, 35, found the mints in July - while clearing their grandfather Jack's house after he passed away aged 96 in July 2022.
John plans to either auction the Polos or be sponsored to eat them, and says the money will go to the fund for victims of the recent Southport attack or for bleed kits.John, a mental health campaigner, from Knutsford, Cheshire, said: "It was amazing to find them. The look and smell of them made me cry - they took me instantly back to sitting in my grandad's van with him.
John found the Polos in their grandad's bedroom, in a box with Jack's military medals. Jack - who worked as a plumber - used to take John out a few times a week in his van, and the pair always ate Polo mints while on the road.
