Remember those old Mentos commercials that always showed some person experiencing a mishap at the most inopportune time–and then, when it appears that all is lost, the guy pops a Mentos into his mouth and suddenly has an epiphany on how to solve the problem? Of course you do. They’re classics!

…They’re also extremely antiquated. I haven’t seen a Mentos commercial that wasn’t filmed in the 90’s–which is pretty sad considering how much more can be milked out of that tired ass Mentos-saves-the-day formula. Did the commercial writers think that society only suffers from broken high heels, getting ditched by your friends at a crosswalk, or not being able to sneak backstage at a rock concert? Well, they’re wrong! And to prove just how wrong they are, I came up with my own Mentos commercial that is both modern and hip-and-with-it!

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo wah!

It doesn’t matter what comes, fresh goes better in life, and Mentos is fresh and full of life.

Fresh goes better, Mentos freshness, fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life!

Mentos, the period-stain-patterned-dress fresh maker!

I totally did this entry just so I could say “doo doo.”

  1. that was hilarious!  the only thing i wasn’t sure about was if she used a marker on the rest of her dress or if she smeared some bodily fluid everywhese else.

  2. BAH HA HA HA!!! You are still the queen of MS paint drawings! *Bows down!*However, others have gone and done the Mentos commercials. Here’s a good one ^_~http://www.break.com/index/mentos-boosts-your-confidence-with-ladies.html

  3. i am quite curious as well to whether the red stains entails the crack addict based sharpie aroma or the scent of a bloody excruciating period pain. either way, i’d so buy ’em mentos after my jaw dropping reaction to the commercial. tampon/playtex commercials may feel violated though just because they can’t cross over to the candy advertisements. (i think)

  4. HAHAHAHAHA!  This made my day.  Absolutely hilarious.  See?  Now i’ve got the theme song stuck in my head.  Back in my freshman year of college, we filmed and starred in our own mentos commercials to promote a festival.  You would have been the ultimate screenwriter!  

  5. I miss the commercial Jingle. I mean, everyone TO THIS DAY remembers the most effective television jingles of the 80’s and 90’s. The only modern jingle I can think of is the freecreditreport.com jingle, and who doesn’t have that memorized? Marketing needs to get their head out of their asses and bring back the jingle!

  6. THATS THE BEST IDEA dude… really awesome……there was a similar commercial in Poland of a buy and a suit and a wet park bench……but I prefer this one…>^.^<…Annamal…

  7. Genius! Although it’s kind of like that one where the guy sits on the painted bench in his suit and then makes stripes by rolling around. But yours is funnier. And now I have that catchy Mentos jingle stuck in my head. Thanks. Thanks a lot… HahaAnd your comments section still seems to hate me.
