A series of animated adverts aired on RTÉ in 1989 for Silvermint’s sweets, featuring the adventures of Steve Silvermint, a “cool, clean hero” reminiscent of a Dick Tracy-style private eye. In each episode, Steve battles the villainous Ugly Sweets, defending the deliciousness of Silvermint’s treats.
