About Menthoplus
Menthoplus is Arcor's mint and throat-sweet brand in Argentina, sold in the small pocket formats that make up what the company calls the impulse trade. It was among the brands given a new boxed pack during 2024, a year in which Arcor's impulse categories were hit harder than the rest of its food business by falling household spending.
