The Signature Three-Layer Structure for a “Crunchy” Texture
The greatest appeal of Mentos lies in the unique chewing experience created by its signature three-layer structure. “Mentos Pineapple” delivers that same one-of-a-kind texture.

This juicy flavor makes it a powerful ally when you need to refresh, stay alert while driving, or simply shift your mindset. It perfectly embodies the Mentos brand concept of “Inspiration and Excitement.”
Vibrant Packaging Design to Kickstart Summer
Beyond the taste, the energetic package design is sure to give you a visual boost.
