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.
It’s such a good thing at least the name of this product isn’t known for a candy in this exact shape, color, and “flavor”. I’m glad you’re here to clarify that the candy doesn’t actually look like anything.
