A: Tootsie Roll Industries acquired Junior Mints from the Warner-Lambert Company in 1993. James Welch, the brother of Robert Welch who originally discovered Sugar Daddy and Sugar Babies, developed Junior Mints. Launched into the market in 1949, Welch named the candy specifically after his favorite Broadway stage performance, Junior Miss.
Tootsie Roll Industries produces an average of 15 million Junior Mints a day out of their Cambridge, Massachusetts Plant.
Q: Why isn't there anything to drink around here?
