Certs were hot in the 80's. I still remember the commercials, "certs, ba ba berts, GOT THE FEVA, GOT THE FEVA!!!" haha. go 80's

I used to have these a lot. Still sell these at Bob Evan's and some other little stores. Now I use Ice Breakers.

Juno brought em back, lol actually they never left

I can't find them where I live anymore...;(

I'm from Long Island and i dont 'se them anywhere.

Oh my goodness! My mother would always give me a Certs during church. They were my favorite type of mint....sugar free too.

Loved the mixed fruit flavor Certs.

Don't forget about the drop of Retsyn!

they still sell them in Canada

Certs go back to 1956, by the Montelez Company. Found an early TV spot with Dick Clark on "American Bandstand" (11/5/63), a later Philadelphia airing. This was part of a huge effort by these "breath mint" companies to woo teens into buying them. Along with Certs, Dick Clark had competitors like Dentyne Gum as advertisers on "Bandstand," also Clorets Gum on his "Where the Action Is" daytime show (5/17/66, ABC) and "Happening '68" (1/27/68, ABC) with Paul Revere and Mark Lindsay. Certs can be addicting.

I know they were marketed as breath fresheners but I ate them as candy for enjoyment. I dunno if it was the Retsyn but they had a “spark” to the flavor that Life Savers lacked
