The Sweet Treats and The Penny Drops

Eight years after returning from New Zealand's delightful south island, it has finally occurred to me that Fox's Glacier Mints; those great confectionery legends of the '70s (readers of a certain age will recall the animated polar bear, with his lively vulpine sidekick) were probably so named because of the wonder below. Unless, of course, it was the other way round; which would surely be the coolest geographical story ever!

                                   
                                     New Zealand's Fox Glacier (it's so minty!)

This monumental realisation follows understandings that injury time is not an additional five minutes, in which football players are permitted to kick one another and that the Sound of Music and Star Trek themes actually sound pretty much the same!
 I really should get out more.
