Everton Mints
Comments (18)
Why is it we can't buy Everton Mints at Goodison Park?
The answer is, the company Sedexo, who runs the Everton catering and shops at the ground, have stopped selling the Everton Mints that have been sold at Goodison Park since Goodison was built.
When I contacted Sedexo, they said they stopped selling Everton mints because the proffit was too small for them. I contacted the suppliers who did supply the Everton Mints to Goodison and they told me Sedexo stopped selling Everton mints because they couldn't get £2.50 for a 200g bag so they stopped selling them.
I again contacted the suppliers and they told me Sodexo only paid 45p a bag for the Everton mints.
A great tradition stopped by none Everton Supporters.

That is a truly disgusting story, Joe. Sadly typical of today's money-grabbing 'economic model'. It really makes me sick. Once again, yet another dagger through the heart of "The People's Club"...
Sedexo are a shit company. They have got the contract for our restaurants and boy are they shite.
It doesn't surprise me that they won't sell Everton Mints.
They cut down on quality and it shows, our restaurants are at least 50% empty now.
Very easy solution: buy your Everton Mints from the local shops around Goodison, I get mine for 99 pence a bag.
Traditional my arse, they’re a modern invention conjured up by Barker & Dobson to take advantage of gullible Evertonians willing to latch on to anything with an Everton association. They taste fuckin’ horrible and you’re guaranteed to lose a filling!
Just when I thought there was nothing left to moan about. Now your picking on the fucking mints!
Outstanding Comment by Jason Broome, I laughed my bollocks clean off!!
Marc are you now Miss Roberts?
Jason.... fuckin brilliant, mate!
I’ve got the contract for Kirkby Mints, I’m gonna be rich ! Rich I tell ya !
You mean "minted", Paul. ;-)
Sodexho are huge and it was probably a slow moving line, time to open a little stall in Goodison Rd. However makes my piss boil when we don’t capitalise on merchandising, Liverpool One being a fine example, where is the EFC shop ???
The police told them to stop selling them as they can kill players at close range.
I say bring them back. I would love nothing more than to see that gob shite Carragher being pelted with Everton Mints.
Marc, you say...
"I say bring them back. I would love nothing more than to see that gob shite Carragher being pelted with Everton Mints".
If that ever happens AND...someone smashes his front teeth, can I suggest some small gesture to remember the event?
Nothing fancy schmancy.
I suggest a two-foot thick, nine-foot high, polished marble stone, outside The Goodison Supper Bar, gold-engraved with something like (just off the top of my head)...
"HE LOBBED SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT LAUGH - this stone was erected in honour of the unknown mint-lobber, who in the year of Our Lord (add year) did de-tooth a truly horrible, swivel-eyed gobshite"
Just a suggestion like.
Do you remember some years back [about 10 I think] we were were all given a commemorative pack of Everton Mints to mark the Club’s Centenary? I’ve still got mine - couldn’t bear to eat them as it was a momento and can’t bear to throw them away!!! Any bids?
Can;t someone start making Everton Hammers so we can throw them at the kopite twat instead!!!!
I’m with Joe on this one. I love those mints. They should be free at Goodison.
Tommy, they are free if you’re 8 years old and standing at the front of the Enclosure. Get there early, they’re literally throwing them away!
Peter - Good idea, although I will need to bend my knees and put shoes on the end of them while wearing a long coat to pass as 8.
