I also enjoy receiving U.S. flavors in foreign packaging. So to become a Mentos Ambassador, all you need to do is bring me some crazy foreign flavor that I&#8217;m not able to find in the U.S. The Mentos Ambassador program has been going on for quite some time. Usually when I know someone is going out of the country, I&#8217;ll ask them to keep their eyes open for some new flavor. Just recently (in the past couple of years), I&#8217;ve been keeping track of flavors that my Ambassadors bring, and have created an &#8220;Official Mentos Ambassador&#8221; card, so that it&#8217;s now possible to become a card-carrying member of this elite group. I&#8217;ve also been toying with some sort of ranking system for the Mentos Ambassadors based on the quantity and rarity of the flavors they&#8217;re able to bring. So maybe someday it will be possible (if you bring me a case of some flavor of Mentos that I&#8217;ve never heard of) to become a Mentos Ambassador General.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Dan&#8217;s question in my last Mentos post, I thought I&#8217;d take the opportunity to explain the low-down behind my Mentos Ambassadors.
