But Altoids ARE British! However, according to Wikipedia, "Altoids are less widely available in Britain—their country of origin—than in the regions to which they are exported, the standard peppermint mints being the only flavour available and only stocked in relatively few stores. They have never been heavily marketed in the UK unlike they have in the USA.[citation needed] Callard & Bowser-Suchard formerly manufactured and produced Altoids at a plant in Bridgend, Wales, but Wrigley, the brand's owner, moved Altoids' production to an existing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in order to manufacture its products closer to where they are primarily marketed."
