Mentos come in a wide variety of unhealthy flavors
Life doesn't get much sillier than when you eat Mentos. The commercials portray the candy as having an almost hypnotic effect on everyone that becomes aware of their presence. Have you seen these commercials? They're the silliest of the silly. I don't know why I didn't put Mentos at the top of the menu bar. Geez.
A typical Mentos commercial goes like this: A guy (let's call him bob, OK?) is sitting in a bar. Bob seems to be having a good time. Bob notices someone walkover to the jukebox, put in a quarter, and press the code "243". CRAP! That's the code for Justin Timberlake's "Sexy Back." The jukebox neophyte puts in two more quarters and hits "276" & "289." ENYA! and HANSON'S MMMMM BOP! DOUBLE CRAP!
Suddenly, he gets an idea...(a big, big, smile spreads across his face) He produces a roll of mentos, and pops one into his mouth. He then grabs a barstool and approaches the weirdo that requested the three tunes. With no warning, he smashes the barstool straight into the guy's face. For a split second, everbody seems shocked...but the truth comes out: BOB IS EATING MENTOS! No WONDER he caved the dude's face in! And by the way...WHO CARES!? (Even the guy on the floor laughs at the fact that he's been had!)
Mentos portrays itself as a cure-all salve for Humanity's impulsive bigots. A way for society's maladjusted interlopers to gain the upper hand. But in reality, Mentos is a lie.
