Oh that's terrific... Mulva?

"You don't know my name, do you?"

"Yes I do."

"What is it?"

"It, uh, rhymes with a female body part."

"What is it?"

"Mulva..."

- Dolores and Jerry, in "The Junior Mints"

"Y'know I remember when I was a kid growing up, kids would make fun of my name like you wouldn't believe - 'Jerry Jerry Dingleberry', 'Seinsmelled'..."

- Jerry, in "The Junior Mints"

Episode Summary

Jerry has a date with a woman whose name he has forgotten, but it "rhymes with a female body part." Could it be "Mulva"? Elaine visits an old boyfriend who's in the hospital for an operation; he was once fat, thin she's interested again. Kramer gets an opportunity to witness the operation and he drags Jerry along, while watching they have an accident with a "Junior Mint."

  

"Let me just finish my coffee, and then we'll go watch them cut the fat bastard up."

- Jerry to Kramer, in "The Junior Mints"

"Who's gonna turn down a Junior Mint? It's chocolate, it's peppermint -- it's delicious!"

- Kramer, in "The Junior Mints"

 

"I have no medical evidence to back me up, but something happened during the operation that staved off that infection. Something beyond science. Something perhaps from above..."

"Mint?"

"Those can be very refreshing."

- The doctor and Kramer, in "The Junior Mints"

Junior Mints are a candy consisting of small rounds of mint filling inside a dark chocolate coating. Currently produced by Tootsie Roll Industries, the product is packaged in varying amounts from the fun-size box to the much larger 12.0 oz. box.

Junior Mints were introduced in 1949 by the Cambridge, Massachusetts-basedJames O. Welch Company, manufacturers of candies and candy bars such asSugar Babies, Welch's Fudge, and Pom Poms.
In 1963, the brand was acquired by Nabisco, who sold the brand to Warner-Lambert Company (now part of Pfizer) in 1988, who in turn sold the brand to Tootsie Roll in 1993. Today, Junior Mints are still manufactured in Cambridge at Tootsie Roll Industries.

Over 15 million Junior Mints are produced daily.
