 Mentos Gum is Yum!Jul 15, 2010
By Randolf Steiner
I've been a big fan of Mentos for many years, love the flavor. Mentos Gum has a really great flavor. After the fruit flavor wears off you are left with a nice clean minty flavor. Wish the fruite flavor hung around longer, but at 1.5 Grms. Carbs per piece, just haven another one. Go for it, it's really good gum!

 The flavor that lasts for minutes--five minutesAug 23, 2009
By Tasha
I had this gum for the first time yesterday, and I was so disappointed. The gum tastes great It has a pleasant fruity flavor to it. It's too bad the flavor lasts for less than ten minutes.
As a test, I had another whole piece today, and again, in a few short minutes, no more flavor. Then, I took another piece and this time bit it in half, and the flavor lasts for half the time (which never happens with other gum like Trident).
When I bite on it, there is a tiny gooey center which, after chewing, blends in with the rest of the gum. But after five minutes, the flavor is gone. There's a faint taste, but it isn't enjoyable.
Until you plan on wasting your money and spitting out and chewing more gum every five minutes, stay away from these Mentos Gum. If you want fruity flavor, try something with a much longer-lasting flavor such as Trident or Orbit.
Slightly variations from the Mint FlavorAug 19, 2010
By Senor Zoidbergo
I tried several different flavors of Mentos gum, but was rather disappointed by the overall product.
First of all, the good points. The gum comes in a hard, durable container, which is easy to carry around in one's pants pocket, and also facilitates dispensing. Additionally, I like the initial texture of the gum, as it has a hard exterior shell and a soft chewy interior core, which immediately releases a burst of flavoring. Lastly, the texture and consistency of the gum is maintained throughout the mastication process.
Now, the bad part. The biggest drawback is that the flavor only lasts at most a few minutes, necessitating me to eat several pieces at once in order to maintain any semblance of lasting mint flavor. Compared to other rival brands such as Dentyne or Eclipse, this is unacceptable. I'm not interested in chewing a piece of bland plastic after just 2-3 minutes. Some have also commented that the hard container makes too much noise in one's pants pockets when walking around.
In summary, the Mentos are best used as an ephemeral breath mint, rather than a long-lasting gum.
Now in regards to this particular flavor of red fruit lime, I find that the flavor lasts slightly longer as compared to the mint flavor. Still not long enough, but just a smidgeon longer. Additionally, the packaging is deceptive, because the core of the gum is most certainly not green colored.
