Ice Breakers is a brand of mints and chewing gum owned by The Hershey Company. KEEP COOL.

History. Ice Breakers was launched in the 1990s by Nabisco Holding's LifeSaver division in order to compete with similar mint brands. Hershey purchased Ice Breakers from Nabisco in 2000 for $135 million in a deal that also included mint and chewing gum brands like Bubble Yum, Breath Savers, CareFree and Stickfree.

Mint's health benefits range from improving brain function and digestive symptoms to relieving breastfeeding pain, cold symptoms and even bad breath. You really can't go wrong adding some mint to your diet.

In this metaphor, the "ice" is the tension caused by being in an unfamiliar situation or meeting new people. The original icebreaker was literally that: a ship designed to break through ice in frozen channels at sea.

As the name suggests, these sessions are designed to "break the ice" at an event or meeting. The technique is often used when people who do not usually work together, or may not know each other at all, meet for a specific, common purpose.

That's because of a unique chemical element: menthol and the cooling sensation that menthol creates. We associate that cold feeling with freshness (which may have as much to do with marketing as anything), and so mint has the ability to make our mouths feel clean, whether or not they really are.

History. The production of mints as a discrete food item can be traced back to the 18th century with the invention of Altoids. The popularity of mints took off in the early 20th century, with the advent of mass urbanization and mass marketing.

An Icebreaker, as the name suggests, is a ship specifically designed to travel through ice-covered water, breaking the ice along the way and clearing a safe path for itself and other ships.

icebreaker was created by a 24-year-old Jeremy Moon. His aim was to provide garments for outdoor adventures with less reliance on petrochemical fibres, providing a more sustainable future for us - and the planet. But back then, synthetics were king, so convincing people was going to be far from easy...

Today, the commercial sales of mints are expanding each year--and at the end of a large meal after-dinner mints are frequently served. But why do we take them? Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is usually taken after a meal for its ability to reduce indigestion and colonic spasms by reducing the gastrocolic reflex.

Sense of smell can help aid in your memory recall. In particular, peppermint is a natural remedy for boosting memory and concentration. The kinesthetic action of chewing gum or sucking on mints can also have a relaxing effect and increase focus.
