These Mentos Gum candies are part of a group of pogie I sent to Iraq. I will tell you that these are good and thought I pass them along.

I haven't tried the gum yet. Does it cause the same reaction when mixed with Coke? :-)

The little red case the gum is packed comes in pretty handy believe it or not. It has uses. I was able to take the MRE toilet paper (seriously) and place it perfectly inside this little bottle.

Before or AFTER you used it?

It's wise to carry paper with you at all times, whether it be in your vehicle, boat or on that excursion. I think I've found the perfect way to do it.

I completely agree!! My store just started to carry these and they taste more like the Trident Splash gum packs or the Hubba Bubba packs from back in the days

JFK06,
Wow, that is cool...but I think most soldiers will agree that the MRE toilet paper is kind of lacking in the quantity section....Most people I know in the military usually go to the field with a normal roll and keep in a plastic bag. The gum review looks really cool.....got any other uses?

Treesuit:

If you haven't tried the new Mentos gum yet you might be missing something. Fooling around with the container itself proved useful. The case is sturdy enough to hold a small amount of minimal equipment. But because of its bright color makes good for storing stick matches and a striker for the outdoors.

But the paper itself needs to be improved. I've mentioned that in one of my previous threads. It's worth taking a look at
