Mentos is popular all over the globe and each country it is sold into has different tastes, likes and interests. As such, the Mentos team here in New Zealand is always reviewing global initiatives for new products and flavours as well as conducting research to ensure that our range is suitable to our market. Due to New Zealand's isolation and unique culture, our market often has products offered nowhere else in the world!

Mentos always strives to ensure that we have the most exciting and appealing range available for our consumers. This of course means that often products will need to be transitioned out for newer lines. We are constantly reviewing our range, new product potential and new flavours and formats to provide you with the best range possible. We value all our consumer feedback regarding our products and encourage you to share with us your thoughts and opinions through the contact us section.

The reaction is due to a process called nucleation where the carbon dioxide in the soda is drawn to the bumps on each Mentos dragee. The tiny bumps on each dragee (unseen to the human eye) are nucleation sites which the soda is attracted to and begin to form bubbles. The dragee is heavy enough to sink to the bottom of the soda and therefore react with a large quantity of liquid causing a powerful foam which needs to escape! Two scientists have become experts on this subject and have had a lot of fun with Mentos and soda bottles! For more facts, insights and of course videos, visit their website www.eepybird.com.
