Mentos – The Car Movers (Cult Classic)
Posted by: admin Post date: June 7th, 2009(www.briansack.com) I wrote a satirical piece about this commercial over ten years ago. Imagine my surprise when the actress in it emailed me from South Africa where it was shot. She’d NEVER SEEN her spot – a spot which was a cult classic and spoofed galore, including a Foo Fighters music video. The poor girl had been searching for this spot for over a decade. I thought this was terribly unfresh and searched high and low to no avail. Things looked bleak. Eventually I reached out to friends …

This ad was on constantly back in the day – I remember it better than any of the other Mentos ads. Funny that you couldn’t find a copy anywhere.

I though this ad was shot in Italy.
It was (and it still is) a popular car over there.

I remember this clearly. I think this was the first Mentos commercial they aired. (Yes or no?) First time I saw it I thought, “Is this for real? Is this a real commercial?” I always thought the commercials were silly.

“What the fuck are they doing to my car!”
*pops a mentos*
” ahhh, it doesn’t matter what shes doin..she just had a mentos!”
With each commercial someone gets to do mean shit to someone…and thats wrong…but of course…not with mentos!
