To be fair it does look delicious and strawberry yoghurt sure is an unusual fragrance for soap. Hell, I can speak Portuguese and there's still a non-zero chance I would've tried to eat this.
Doesn’t help that Mentos is a candy brand over here in the US. My dumb ass would’ve definitely eaten half of this and only realize something’s wrong when I start burping bubbles
não*
I couldn’t tell from the compression artifacts. Corrected.
I dont know a lick of whatever language that is, but even I can tell thats cosmetic, not for eating.
Ok but that is an enormous bite. If it’s an unknown candy, I’m going in with a tentative nibble.
I, on the other hand, live life on the edge. I don't know what something is but I'm shoving that whole fucking thing in my mouth.
Yeah my thoughts too. You ain't taking a bite that big of a candy you don't know will taste like shit. I call BS
I'd totally go for a first bite of that size. I guess I'm just built different.
It's also a perfect set of teeth / imprint. Maybe it was a pair of dentures they used?
Reminds me of all the places around here that have Fabuloso (a Mexican multi colored cleaning product that often has no English on the label) in the same aisle as the fruit juices.
I know it's soap but every time I see that forbidden kool-aid my lizard brain activates and my mouth starts watering. 
Ironically also all labeled in English
I really want a giant mentos now
what is written on the package?
Vegetabel soap with fragrance of strawberry yoghurt.
Cosmetic product. Not edible.
"Please god don't eat this"
Haha funny looking words.
To be fair, even knowing spanish I would be tricked if I didn't pay attention. I've done the same with a ginger bread cookie bath bomb.
Who would pick up mentos in the soap isle and think it would be candy?
Who would make soap and label it as strawberry yogurt candy?
Sure, it's nice that they included this warning at the bottom of the candy looking label:
PRODUCTO COSMETICO. NAO COMESTIVEL.
And the only reason I understand that foreign language is after understanding the context of this entire debacle, analyzing the root words so "THIS is a COSMETIC product. NOT for EATING!
At least it wasn't Mentos brand toilet bowl cleaner.
(back before the days of smartphones & internet everywhere)
I once was sick in a foreign country and bought some chewable vitamin C that turned out to be those fizzing tabs you put in water - cue foaming at the mouth and utter confusion.
Happy it was still edible, just not in the way I tried to consume it.
Galaxy Quest reference in title, confirmed?
Dop in France had a partnership with haribo for body wash. They had fraise tagada, dragibus and cola.
Mmmm cola shampooing
Native in the US has had candy body washes (gummy bears, candy hearts etc), cupcake scented one partnered with Cupcakes by Melissa, and currently has Girl Scouts body wash
Yay, clean teeth!
The fresh maker?
If only there has been some indication on the wrapper...
If PepsiCo started selling Mountain Dew branded laundry detergent, they would be absolutely reamed for packaing it like this. Think about the lawsuits Tide faced because people thought their pods just resembles candy. Mentos is a well established candy brand, using their branding on non-edible things that resemble candy is irresponsible, bordering on malicious.

If someone offered me vegetable soap, I'd assume they spelled "soup" wrong and try using the bar as a bouillon cube.
The CEO of Tide has entered the chat
