I was listening to the latest episode of Terry O'Reilly's Under the Influence during my ride today, and he told a story about Certs.
I remember Certs as the "two mints in one" candy. Then, in 1994, the artist formerly known as Maestro Fresh Wes released "Certs Wid Out Da Retsyn". You might remember the video from MuchMusic.
What was this Retsyn found in Certs? Is it medicinal? Is it from a mint plant?
It was an interesting marketing strategy from parent company American Chicle – whose other product was Chiclets.
