PRODUTO COSMÉTICO. NÃO COMESTÍVEL. 🤔

    To be fair it does look delicious and strawberry yoghurt sure is an unusual fragrance for soap. Hell, I can speak Portuguese and there's still a non-zero chance I would've tried to eat this.

    My mom used to yell “filho da puta estupido, eu vo te matar!” or something.

    Never found out what it means

    Ok but that is an enormous bite. If it’s an unknown candy, I’m going in with a tentative nibble.

    Reminds me of all the places around here that have Fabuloso (a Mexican multi colored cleaning product that often has no English on the label) in the same aisle as the fruit juices.

    Vegetabel soap with fragrance of strawberry yoghurt.

    Cosmetic product. Not edible.

    (back before the days of smartphones & internet everywhere)

    I once was sick in a foreign country and bought some chewable vitamin C that turned out to be those fizzing tabs you put in water - cue foaming at the mouth and utter confusion.

    Happy it was still edible, just not in the way I tried to consume it.

    Who would pick up mentos in the soap isle and think it would be candy?

    Who would make soap and label it as strawberry yogurt candy?

    Sure, it's nice that they included this warning at the bottom of the candy looking label:

    PRODUCTO COSMETICO. NAO COMESTIVEL.

    And the only reason I understand that foreign language is after understanding the context of this entire debacle, analyzing the root words so "THIS is a COSMETIC product. NOT for EATING!

    At least it wasn't Mentos brand toilet bowl cleaner.

    Dop in France had a partnership with haribo for body wash. They had fraise tagada, dragibus and cola.

    If PepsiCo started selling Mountain Dew branded laundry detergent, they would be absolutely reamed for packaing it like this. Think about the lawsuits Tide faced because people thought their pods just resembles candy. Mentos is a well established candy brand, using their branding on non-edible things that resemble candy is irresponsible, bordering on malicious.

    Well, Google translate isn't everyone's first go to, plus I'm pretty sure this didn't exist when this was originally posted

    Yeah when you're traveling you're not Google translating every little thing you buy. Some things look innocuous enough that you just trust it. Mentos strawberry yogurt would definitely not raise any red flags for me to bust out my phone for a translation.

    EDIT: As an example, I didn't think twice before downing a bottle of "coca cola plus"

    Turns out it has a mild laxative ;)
