In my eyes, Mentos went from being an afterthought castoff candy, to a top shelf regular option. My favorite variety is still Rainbow, but damn it if I don’t keep finding other, equally deserving candidates.
Stop. Collaborate and LISTEN:
You guys collaborating? Listening? Great. Check out Mentos Cola. I don’t need to waste your time describing the superior chew of Mentos-this one’ll be all about the flavor. If you haven’t tried any variety of Mentos by this point in your life, you’re doing something wrong.
The first time I tasted a cola candy, it was gummy cola bottles, and they blew my mind. I always hold those up as the pinnacle of proper cola candy taste. These Mentos? Better.
Nice cola coloring there. How to describe the perfect cola taste? I guess the difference with these is that there’s a bit of zing to them, and an extremely nice development of the flavor. It’s full, it’s intense, and it’s surprising, every time I have them, how delicious it is. Don’t get me wrong- gummy cola bottles, especially Haribo’s, are a top 10 candy for me. I’m just saying that these Mentos Cola have really done a fine job of perfecting the candy cola flavor, and taking just a step closer to the real thing.
I feel very secure recommending these to ANYONE who likes cola flavored candy. They’re usually available at World Market, but in the event you’re feeling lazy, click the Amazon link below.
I never had seen these ones before, but europe does do a good cola candy overall. In germany they had these tins of Cola “bonbons” hard candy for about an euro, those were great.
Want… some… now.
