Mentos

Mentos (stylized as mentos) is a brand of packaged scotch mints or mint-flavored candies sold in stores and vending machines. First produced in 1932, they are currently sold in more than 130 countries worldwide by the Italian-Dutch corporation Perfetti Van Melle. The mints are small oblate spheroids, with a slightly hard exterior and a soft, chewy interior. They are typically sold in rolls that contain 14 mint discs, although the "Sour Mix" variety contains only 11 discs per roll. Smaller versions also exist, typically containing 4 to six discs per roll.

Certain flavors are sold in boxes in Australia, the US, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, and therefore the UK, and therefore the rolls are available in four-packs. The current slogan of Mentos is "Stay Fresh", while the road previously used extensively within the 80s and 90s was "The Freshmaker". Most Mentos packages describe the mints as "chewy dragées." The typical Mentos roll is approximately 2 cm (0.79 in) in diameter and weighs 38 grams (1.3 oz). "Mentos" is the singular form.

The UK has five current flavors of rolls:

• Fruit (Orange, Lemon, and Strawberry)
• Mint
• Rainbow (with 2 dragees each of Strawberry, Apple, Raspberry, Orange, Watermelon, Blueberry, and Pink Grapefruit (the last two were new flavors for 2015, replacing Grape and Pineapple).
• SpearmintTutti-Frutti - bubblegum flavoured - new.
