1Biography of mentos and its different flavors
2Biography
Packaged Scotch mint candies or mint-flavored
candies like Mentos are sold in stores and
vending machines under the brand name Mentos
(stylized as Mentos). Perfetti Van Melle, an
Italian-Dutch company, has been producing them
since 1932 and now sells them in over 130
countries. 1 There are little oblate spheroids
with a firm shell and a soft, chewy interior that
are known as mints.However, the "Sour Mix"
variant has just 11 mint discs in each roll,
rather than 14 as is the norm. Smaller rolls,
including 4 to 6 discs, are also available. It is
possible to purchase four packs of rolls of a
certain flavour in Australia as well as four
packs of four rolls in the United States,
Malaysia, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and
Brazil. In the 1980s and '90s, Mentos was known
as "The Freshmaker" because of its ability to
"freshen up" any beverage. The term "chewy
dragées" is commonly used to describe Mentos
mints. Each Mentos roll has a diameter of 2
centimetres and weighs around 38 grammes (1.3
oz). There are no plural forms of "Mentos."

strawberries, and lemons Originally, Mentos was
sold in the Netherlands as "Drop Mentos," a
liquorice-flavoured candy. Though previously only
accessible in Europe and the Netherlands, most of
the new tastes have since been available all over
the world.Additionally, Mentos comes in varieties
such as strawberry (pink), mixed fruit
(cherry/strawberry/orange/lemon), cinnamon

pineapple (pine fresh), red apple (currant), and

taste, "Mentos Strong" and "Air action Mentos.".

fruit, berry mix, strawberry, banana, cherry, and
mango orange, is also available in the
Netherlands. Mint and "Strong Mint" mint flavours
are also available in China. Grape and 'N Cream
