The story of Purse Puppy Peppermints

Purse Puppy Peppermints came in a glossy pink tin shaped like a little handbag, complete with a chain strap and a cartoon chihuahua named Biscotti poking her head out. Kids carried them on their wrists like real purses and offered mints with a dramatic flip of the hair. The tin outlived the mints by several years and several outfits.

Fun fact

Biscotti wore a different rhinestone collar on every tin, and collectors tried to find all six.
