Only eat the original Peppermint Mentos. You may occasionally find a Strawberry Mento mixed in by mistake, but still colored chalky white.

Never (ever!) tear the package of Mentos, or they will revolt, spill out into your bag, or get lost in your car's glove compartment. Over time, they will eventually attract dust bunnies that are trying to be Fresh and Full of Life. The wayward Mento will eventually become rock hard and when you try to eat it will hurt you.

Mentos must be "born", squeezed out of the wrapper and gently placed in the palm of the hand. The only exception is the last Mento in the roll, which may be squeezed out of the opposite end.
