There were a few more that came in double-wrappers: lime mint, red orange, strong mint. The last bunch was sour mix, which I&#8217;m guessing is very similar to the US sour rolls. They do list different flavors than the US sour though. These rolls have grape, green apple and pineapple, where the US sours have watermelon, apple, and lemon. Since ther are more than one roll of these, I&#8217;ll be able to give them a try and see what these different flavors are like. Maybe I&#8217;ll post an update later on how these babies taste.<\/p>\n<p><a onfocus=\"this.blur()\" onclick=\"ps_imagemanager_popup(this.href,'Mentos Penny Tray','800','676');return false\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-photos\/penny.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"90\" height=\"76\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" class=\"postimg\" title=\"Mentos Penny Tray\" alt=\"Mentos Penny Tray\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techory.com\/blog\/wp-photos\/thumbs\/th_penny.jpg\" \/><\/a>In addition to a nice collection from my Mentos Ambassador, I also was able to add to my collection of Mentos memorabilia with a Mentos branded &#8220;Leave-a-Penny, Take-a-Penny&#8221; tray.
