Certs is a brand of breath mint that is noted for the phrase "two mints in one" in its marketing. The original Certs were disc-shaped without a hole and sold in roll packaging similar to Life Savers and Polo.
Certs were one of the first mints to be nationally marketed in the United States and were a fixture at American drug stores and convenience stores from their debut on the market in 1956 until they were discontinued in 2018. Reboot Brands acquired the Certs brand in 2025 and relaunched it in partnership with Nature's Stance.[1][2]
History
Certs were developed by American Chicle and introduced into the North American market in 1956.[3] The "Certs" name originated from its approval by Good Housekeeping (as in "certified by Good Housekeeping), a magazine that, then as now, bestowed the Good Housekeeping Seal on products that pass its quality and reliability tests.
