Mentos teaches us how to start a conversation with someone new

Have you ever been in a situation where you are alone at the bus stop or in a meeting with individuals you have never met before and for one reason or the other you find it hard to say hello, either because you aren't acquainted with this individual, or maybe you just have the fear of rejection.

The typical thing to do is probably whoop out your phone and start chatting. Please don't.
Am guessing you'll probably feel like something's wrong with you right? No my friend, you are perfectly okay.  A lot of people have this challenge, but luckily for us, Mentos (the sweet brand) has created a solution.

Mentos sweet has come up with easy steps on how to break the ice in other to start a healthy conversation and make new friends. All you need do is follow the steps, share a Mentos sweet and you've probably just made a new friend.

Step 1: Be casual in approaching people

2. Don’t take life too seriously – think like a kid

Life can be very simple, don’t complicate it. Think like a kid. For

3. Break the ice with a Mentos

Pull out a Mentos and offer to the stranger. You will only receive a yes, because no one says no to Mentos!! Everybody loves it !

Look at the Video and you will realize how simple can life be!! I hope you enjoy it, the way I loved watching it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVwYvlaTCCA&utm_source=website%20post&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=lindaikeji
