@dave I watched the first commercial, and was somehow paralyzed from clicking stop, or moving my arm for that matter. Finally, at about the 2:30 mark-- I was able so get control of the situation and stop it…
@dave that was the most productive 6 minutes of my day, hands down. I don’t remember the boyfriend in the house one with the face mask but man, the others are magic.
First thing I looked at was what was for sale. Upon seeing what it was, I looked to the center, expecting videos of all of the old commercials. Way to disappoint me, Meh. Totally gotta go back in time and subscribe to VMP now so I can unsub in retaliation for this injustice.
I mostly just remember the end, with the smiling dude holding up a roll of Mentos as the music ends and the voiceover proclaims, “Mentos: the Freshmaker.”
I don’t remember the words, I’m not sure if I ever really did know them, but I can still mumble them. “Men-tos better, meeeeen-tos freshness, mentos better the mentos freshness formualaraaaaa!”

@caffeineguy same here!
@dave Haha, I watched that whole thing. Those commercials always seemed so strange and dated, even when they were new.
@caffeineguy @ragingredd No, you have to watch the last one!
@CZug Totally! They were just weird. You always just shook your head after one of those ads.
@jqubed I was able to quit at about the halfway point but saw your comment and watched the last one, wish I hadn’t. WTH was that?
@dave I actually LOL’d at the boyfriend one. I remember a lot of these, but not that one. It was so dumb, I had to laugh.
@dave The people who made those ads were non compos Mentos.

The ad is burned into my mind. Just like the memory of mentos completely breaking the meh site.
My son thinks I’m weird cause I have a roll of mentos next to my bed
@ragingredd When are you going to tell him that Mentos are his real dad???
@cpierce would explain his fresh mouth

I cant think of a current Mentos commercial, but I can still remember these commercials!
