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.
