I seem to remember that the advertisement went something like...
"Mint Cracknell takes you somewhere cool and green. Somewhere cool and green."
It was a chocolate bar consisting of two small squares held in a small cardboard tray. A little like the cardboard tray that seems to have vanished from Bounty, these days!
It tasted a little like toothpaste - even though I quite liked it.
The inside of the chocolate bar had a crunchy green centre and was probably too "adult" for my childish taste - I think I must have been about 7 - 10 when I first tried it.
I'm not too sure that it was very popular, though.
It disappeared - just like the Bounty cardboard tray did!
Happy times.

They used to lacerate your tongue. I think Noel Edmonds used to advertise it?

Mint cracknell had needle like tubes of glacier mint coted with chocolate. It used to hurt your tongue unless you went along the grain!
Milk tray bars were a weekly treat too but no-matter how hard I tried I always broke the lime barrel in half

I loved mint cracknel - the mint was a bit like sugary mint-flavour steel wool, and would leave splinters in your tongue if you didn't watch out. Pure tooth rot!
