Around the same time, Fox's commissioned a taxidermist to obtain and stuff a real-life polar bear to display and to bring to large public events such as football matches, carnivals and fairgrounds as an advertisement for Fox's Glacier Mints. Travelling all over the country, Peppy is reported to have been joined by as many as four more stuffed polar bears. In Indonesia, Fox's candies are currently manufactured by PT Savoria Kreasi Rasa (a subsidiary of Djarum, a cigarette manufacturing company). The rebrand aims to bring the sweet to new audiences, according to Derek&Eric co-founder Adam Swan. Hard sweets like Fox’s are a “declining category” amid the popularity of soft sweets like Haribo and the new branding hopes to “sway it to a younger consumer”, he adds. Walter Richard Fox, the founder of Fox's Confectionery, originally manufactured sweets as part of the Joyce and Fox partnership, but this was dissolved in 1897. Fox continued to make confectionery, and was joined in 1914 by his son Eric.

The iconic Fox's Glacier Mint was developed by confectioner Eric Fox in 1918 and over 100 years later this is still a firm favourite at AQuarterOf.co.uk. In 1918, the clear mints started to be produced on a larger scale and sold in glass jars and named Clear Mint Fingers! A bit fancier than your standard mints or paper bagged penny sweets - these are are your premium mints. In line with the rest of Fox's Glacier range, the product is produced using real liquorice extract to deliver an intense and unique flavour. Since the launch of the product in 2002, the product has become a strong member of Fox's Glacier family and demand for the product is growing year on year. In August 2005 Liquorice & Aniseed rebranded to Fox's Glacier Dark with an updated contemporary design to ensure consistency throughout the Glacier range.
