Are you the kind of person who generally gives compliments, the sincere kind of compliment? I’d love to meet you. Because who wouldn’t like a person who is a ray of verbal sunshine to others, someone who can lighten up someone’s day with kind words and uplifting comments.
I don’t know but we Filipinos are known to be friendly people but honestly, most people I know are either too shy to give compliments to others or just not that comfortable speaking to strangers. In fact, I know more people who like to say crappy jokes or sarcasm which I think is because it’s the trend. Yun ang uso, yung malakas mang-asar and most find it “cheesy” to just say nice words.
But really, every normal person will like to be complimented and it won’t always be about the way how they look. It can be on how they dress, how they fixed their hair, or maybe about something that they did in the past or planning to do in the future. The important thing here for me is, when you are able to show sincere interest to the person, in that short span of time, like even in a few seconds.
Fortunately, there’s Mentos, our favorite candy, which hopes to help change this awkwardness in most of us, with their limited-edition Mentos CompliMentos rolls. Mentos is like a universal “friend request”, a conversation starter, a candy that helps you connect with people. Mentos introduces new packaging for Mint and Fruit Chewy Dragees. The new packaging features 16 different compliments, such as “You fill me with excite-mint!”, “You sweeten up my life”, and “Your smile is refreshing”, among others.
With the help of Mentos CompliMentos, you get the chance to make a fresh connection by paying someone a sincere compliment.
Mentos wanted to bring that Global campaign closer to home by working with celebrities Paulo Avelino and Gabbi Garcia on a social experiment video. The two were seen separately on a small screen posing as static ads at a mall. They would try to get the attention of passersby in the mall and interact with them bypaying them compliments. The social experiment culminates with Paulo and Gabbi revealing that they are actually at the mall, and start sharing Mentos CompliMentos rolls to the crowd and more live compliments from everyone around.
“Mentos came up with this campaign to help people make connections, meet new friends and learn how to accept compliments graciously,” said Denise Opulencia, Mentos Brand Manager.
Mentos is a great conversation starter, with these new MentosComplimentos packaging. So this month, why not start carrying Mentos in your bag and give some compliments more easily wherever you are. Be a ray of verbal sunshine and make this world a happier place for everyone.
Note: Aside from leading supermarkets, Mentos Complimentos rolls are currently available in Shopee. https://shopee.ph/perfettivanmelle_phils
