Everyone knows Fresh Goes Better with Mentos, but did you know that since 1991 they've also made countless situations better? That's right, the simple act of popping a single Mentos mint into your mouth, helps enhance and improve circumstances and events of all kinds. The equation is simple. Bland, boring, and average quickly become flavorful, exciting, and amazing once Mentos enters the mix. Help make your day great with the addition of Mentos!


In our Mentos "Fresh Goes Better" Contest, we challenge you to show us how Mentos helps make situations better. Imagine a "before" situation where you arrive at the bus stop right as the bus is pulling away. Add in a little Mentos magic and voila: hop on your skateboard, leash up your dog, take the shortcut, and arrive before the bus even pulls in!


Other examples
  • Before: Stick figures. Mentos. After: Artistic masterpiece.
  • Before: Someone is wearing the same dress as you at prom. Mentos. After: Rip parts of dress off to make new ensemble.
  • Before: Forgot lines in a boring play. Mentos. After: Improvised something amazing. Audience is engaged.

Show us your take on the idea for the opportunity to win fantastic prizes!
