Reverse Google image search shows any other reference to this image is from the last 2 weeks. Expiration date on the wrapper is 2025. I'm fairly certain this person had easy access to Google Lens or something similar.
Regardless, most people aren't going around translating every wrapper they see.
It says mentos, and yogurt. Sounds like food at first glance.
Yeah while at your local supermarket sure, you’re asking for trouble if you are abroad and think you can do the same. Just reading the package (like you should in another country) gave plenty of hints that it’s not food. Even if you don’t understand the language.
Seems entirely reasonable not to assume this was soap on first glance, other country or not. It might as well say Hershey's Chocolate! on it. OP shouldn't be considered dumb for this.
Although, biting a big chunk of a Mentos of this scale could fuck up your teeth. And how would you even chew that much solid mentos? So OP either did the comically large bite for the photo, is a child, or maybe not dumb, but not brilliant either.
It’s another country, why are you not looking at it with more than a quick first glance?
If that’s something you’re prone to doing, you kinda do deserve to eat soap….
