Mentos Full Fruit Chewing Gum

Mentos is a world-renowned brand of confectionery, best known for its iconic scotch mints and chewy dragees. The brand originated in the Netherlands in 1932, created by the brothers Michael, Pierre, and Machiel van Melle. Its global success led to the merger of Van Melle with the Italian confectionery giant Perfetti in 2001, forming Perfetti Van Melle. This parent company is now the third-largest confectionery manufacturer in the world.

Today, Mentos products are manufactured in multiple locations across the globe, including significant production facilities in the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey, and China, to serve different regional markets. The 'Full Fruit' variant shown here is part of their extensive chewing gum line, which emphasizes long-lasting flavor and a sugar-free recipe. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the privately-held Perfetti Van Melle group, headquartered in both Italy and the Netherlands.
