If only there has been some indication on the wrapper...
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.
Thankfully, Tide's CEO, David Taylor, released this helpful press release video (parody).
This doesn't appear to be from the company that owns the mentos brand for candy, and soap bars and candy do not actually look anything alike.
This soap bar looks exactly like a giant mentos candy
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.
