Hidden ROM Text

Hidden inside the ROM itself is a little ditty about Mentos, starting at hex address 000435C4 offset 435F1:

THE WOLRD'S A GLOOMY PLACE TO BE
SEEMS EVERYTHING IS BAD...
BUT MENTOS MAKE YOU HAPPY
WHEN YOU'RE FEELING SAD.
MENTOS MAKE YOUR TEETH GO MUNCH,
YOUR JAW GO CHEW, CHEW, CHEW.
THEY FLOOD YOUR MOUTH WITH FLAVOR,
THAT LASTS THE WHOLE DAY THROUGH.
SO SMILE AND MUNCH YOUR MENTOS,
THE TREAT YOU CAN ENJOY...
'CAUSE YOU WERE MADE FOR MENTOS
AND MENTOS WERE MADE FOR... YOU
