Mentos - The Car Movers (Cult Classic)

(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 in high places looking for any way to locate a copy. An advertising friend (now renown for writing the GEICO Caveman ads) found the spot. Though the quality belies its age, I made a nice South African actress very happy. A very Mentos ending indeed.

She clearly pops a mento before convincing the burly team to help her, and pops another after. The only hint as to what might have happened is suggested by the office worker adjusting his collar.

As viewers, we are left to fill in the blanks.

You'd think she would call all those dudes over to smash the hell out of that guys car, but instead the just move hers.
