Flirt Fruit - Chewy Dragees
A copy of the famous Mentos sweets, manufactured for the Aldi discount supermarket chain. The sweets themselves taste similar to the original Mixed Fruit Mentos, having three flavours: strawberry, orange & lemon. The orange flavoured sweet is very similar to the yellow in appearance, though the flavour is distinctly different.

Ultimatecarpage.com, or UCP, is an automotive website that primarily serves as a databank of cars. The page also contains coverage of many car shows or car events yearly, as well as updates of new car entries to the market. Updates on the site occur about one or two times a week.
History
Ultimatecarpage.com was created in 1998 by Netherlander Wouter Melissen as a databank of cars and as a news service covering premiere auto events such as the International Geneva Motor Show and racing events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Database
As of March 1, 2007, UCP had over 2,000 cars, 250 makes, and 15,000 images. The database can be searched by car, country/make, or by type of car (racing, prototype). Each entry has at least one picture and a write-up including vital statistics such as drivetrain and performance information.
Breaking News
UCP has been responsible for presenting automotive development news such as the exclusive online release of the Ferrari P4/5, as seen on . This car buzzed through the world auto news like wildfire in 2006, and with the personal relationship with the car's owner UCP was involved in this development from the beginning.
