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.

    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!
