[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1573343, member: 374531"] I've been in about twenty countries and there's [I]always[/I] someone selling Mentos. You could turn up at a yurt in the Mongolian desert and there'd be some Mentos on sale there. Haven't carb counted them but they're about the same size as pastilles. Plus, they don't melt in heat. I just play "looky likey". You can normally find something in Carbs & Cals or from your own knowledge of home food which looks near enough to theirs to make a reasonable guesstimate. For example, Italian tortellini, looky likey Polish pierogi, looky likey Tibetan momos, looky likey Japanese gyoza, so likely same carbs with a few adjustments for pierogi having more dough in them etc. (although, after a quick lookup, Carbs & Cals kills that theory! - it says 3 gyoza has 1 g - not convinced).
