1980s Ronald Reagan Air Force One Velamint Box. Ronald Reagan's favorite candy, other than Jelly Beans of course, these mint packages were distributed to guests on Air Force One the presidential aircraft. With presidential seal on the front of the box and an American flag on the reverse. When you open the lid it shows the facsimile signature of Ronald Reagan on the top and the set of eight sealed velmint packages. A fun conversation piece for the Ronald Reagan collector. President Ronald Reagan was known for his love of jelly beans, but he also enjoyed Velamints, a sugar-free mint candy. Introduced in the 1970s, Velamints became popular for their sleek packaging and European style, appealing to health-conscious consumers. Since the candies are decades old, please do not eat or chew on them - just enjoy them as a display item only. Original.
When cases of Velamints were flown to America, they were sold within hours of their arrival. People called this phenomenon the “Vela Rush of the ‘70s” and America fell in love with Velamints. They became President Ronald Reagan’s favorite mint: the Official Air Force 1 Mint.
