In the past few days, BDSHoles have vented over photos purporting to show packets of Mentos containing displays of affection for Israel.

There is even a #boyottmentos hashtag on Twitter.
But if you look at the Tweets there, you will discover someone first discovered the “I Love Israel” packaging back in August last year.

Then a few more tweets and that was it. The boycott campaign seemed to fizz out.
Likewise on Facebook. A bit of action in August last year..

And then almost nothing. Until now.
Perhaps they could not resist….the taste of Mentos.
It is still not clear to me whether or not the above photos were taken in Israel or elsewhere.
Either way, it is a shame for the palestinians that they now need to boycott Mentos.
Mentos could have come in handy.
