You only see the double-wrapper on Sour Mentos rolls here in the U.S. I&#8217;ve never really been sure why that was. Maybe the the sour flavor needs an air-tight package to stay fresh (the texture on those Mentos <em>is<\/em> a little different than your standard rolls). Anyway, all three of these rolls have the double-wrapper. Maybe the atmospheric conditions in China make the extra wrapper necessary&#8230; who knows! The other thing that makes these Mentos special is that they are holy. Yes, that&#8217;s right. Mentos Ambassador Stoll had these Mentos blessed by the Dalai Lama. They arrived air-mail from China wrapped in a lovely Tibetan prayer scarf (the white cloth underneath the rolls). I frankly can&#8217;t think of anything better to bless than rolls of Mentos, the sweet sweet candy of the gods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Mentos shipment has arrived safely from China.
