Mentos launches Facebook application

CINCINNATI "The fresh maker" has a new Facebook application.

Mentos, the chewy mint known for its optimistic take on life, has launched the Fresh Goes Better Facebook application, which allows visitors to view and hear original work by artists who upload their creations directly to the U.S. Mentos Facebook page. Work is organized in three categories: fresh graphic art, fresh music and fresh video. A featured artists section on the page will spotlight work that is the freshest of the fresh.

"After years of stumbling upon and admiring Mentos-inspired art here and there, it was time to share the wealth," said Craig Cuchra, brand manager for Mentos. "Creating the Fresh Goes Better application on Facebook is a way of sharing the incredible energy of our fans by becoming a curator for work by established and aspiring artists in three genres. It will allow art enthusiasts of all ages across America to enjoy and offer visions of freshness."

Mentos art enthusiasts can view and "like" the Facebook application or submit fresh art, music or video at http://www.facebook.com/MentosUS. More information about Mentos Mints is available at http://us.mentos.com.
