I love Mentos candies, so you can imagine how excited I was to try their new gum. Against my better judgment, I bought some. I say my better judgment because take a look at the packaging. It's a plastic tube! Of course, I'm such a gum whore that if it had been amazing, I'd be like screw landfills. But it wasn't.
Which takes me to another issue I have with packaging: the individual plastic pellet wrapping. This has been around for a few years and I resented/resisted it for a long time. I refused to buy Dentyne Ice and all those gums because I thought they were making the gum seem so precious and special, all wrapped in its own plastic bubble. I guess they were trying to upscale gum. Like I said, I resisted it for awhile, but then caved. As usual. I don't need to upload an image. We chew this shit everyday. It's a total plastic nightmare. The end.
