1976 - In 1976 Mentos makes it's own fresh, small screen debut with it's first TV commercial.

1960 - In the 1960's, an era that brought us fresh new looks in fashion and music, Mentos was sold in rolls for the first time.

1950 - In 1950, export began to France, Germany and the UK from the Netherlands, home of Mentos.

1932 - In 1932, brothers Michael and Pierre van Melle took a train journey to Poland which sparked the beginning of a Fresh New World. They had heard of an exciting recipe for soft fruit caramels. The trip gave Pierre a vision of peppermint flavoured caramel candy that would ultimately be known as Mentos.
