Mentos!!!

Everyone loves the mentos sweets. But i can't seem to find the full range of mentos flavours.

The mentos brand of sweets started in 1932 when 2 brothers by the surname of van melle. They went on to introduce new flavours and a line of chewing gum. They also collaborated with Perfetti to make mentos availble worldwide.

That was kind of like its history. So i went to their japanese website and i found a banana flavoured one in there. DAmn. Why banana? Heck, theres even melon fruit. Theres also sumthing called ume fruit, proably japanese. Oh yeah, do we have grape in malaysia?

I went to wikipedia and i found all its flavours. Its below, and with some we don't even know about.

"......... green apple, cinnamon, strawberry, mixed fruit (which contains a mix of cherry, strawberry, orange, and lemon flavors), grape, wintergreen, raisin, grapefruit, peach, spearmint, strawberry yogurt, lemon yogurt, pineapple (pine fresh), red apple, fresh cola, cassis (blackcurrant), red orange, currant and two versions of black licorice flavored Mentos. Two varieties of the mint flavor, known as "Mentos Strong" and "Air action Mentos" are sold in the Netherlands. Two varieties of the mint flavor are also sold in China, known as "Mint" and "Strong Mint". Chocolate Mentos were produced in 1989, but the flavor was discontinued. In 2006, the citrus mango flavor was introduced to the Japanese market. In the Philippines, a "Dalandan Fresh" variant is available. A new product line, Mentos Sours, have recently become available in the United States, featuring Watermelon, Green Apple, and Lemon flavors.

Chocalate mentos? Thats sumthing i didn't know about. I kind of like the sour mix mentos, and i just bought 1 called Barley Mint. If u r not used to eating barley (i like eating the barley sugar sticks) The initial taste may be kind of disgusting. Hey, that sounds technical. Joseph thinks so.

Maybe in the future i will draw how the stick of choco mentos looks like. Again, i am kind of rushing to school.

And does anyone know how to see whether any1 is reading your blog? I dunno how.


Pictures!
