Mentos SuperSized puzzle 1,000 pieces - 50 x 68 cm in a tube

Description

A thousand pieces make up a wall of old sweet advertising: 'Fresh goes better', 'Sold here!', 'Chewy', the familiar rolls and the Van Melle logo from the days when it still said 'Holland' underneath. Finished, the puzzle measures 50 x 68 cm.

The tube is the joke of the range. Printed as a heavily enlarged roll of Mentos mint, it stands upright among the games on the shelf and is sturdier than a flat box, so the pieces survive the trip from the attic to the dining table.

A puzzle with this much repetition and these large blocks of colour works differently from a landscape: you sort by text, typeface and logo before you start on the border. Count on several evenings, or a long weekend with more hands at the table.

One for anyone who enjoys a puzzle with a brand or retro theme, and a gift that explains itself the moment someone sees the tube. The same range includes a Kellogg's and a Pringles version in the same format.
