The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.

The Mentos company has been producing lollies to freshen your breath since 1932. Interestingly enough, the original idea for Mentos was to make a soft fruit caramel with a minty flavour – a far cry from the classic chewy mints we associate with the brand today. Mentos now also offers some truly unique flavour combinations like rainbow, creaming soda, toffee apple, strawberry lime, passionfruit, chocolate, and pine-coco, and is available in a number of packet sizes for you to share (or not).
