Remember those old Mentos commercials that always showed some person experiencing a mishap at the most inopportune time--and then, when it appears that all is lost, the guy pops a Mentos into his mouth and suddenly has an epiphany on how to solve the problem? Of course you do. They're classics!
...They're also extremely antiquated. I haven't seen a Mentos commercial that wasn't filmed in the 90's--which is pretty sad considering how much more can be milked out of that tired ass Mentos-saves-the-day formula. Did the commercial writers think that society only suffers from broken high heels, getting ditched by your friends at a crosswalk, or not being able to sneak backstage at a rock concert? Well, they're wrong! And to prove just how wrong they are, I came up with my own Mentos commercial that is both modern and hip-and-with-it!
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo wah!
It doesn't matter what comes, fresh goes better in life, and Mentos is fresh and full of life.
Nothing gets to you...
...staying fresh staying cool, with Mentos, fresh and full of life.
Fresh goes better, Mentos freshness, fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life!
Mentos, the
period-stain-patterned-dressfresh maker!I totally did this entry just so I could say "doo doo."

lol, classic.
OMG. haha
I eat a bowl of Mentos every single day.
Haha, oh my gosh. That's great.
that was hilarious! the only thing i wasn't sure about was if she used a marker on the rest of her dress or if she smeared some bodily fluid everywhese else.
BAH HA HA HA!!! You are still the queen of MS paint drawings! *Bows down!*
However, others have gone and done the Mentos commercials. Here's a good one ^_~

BTW I hope this is just make-believe and not from personal experience...ew....
haha nice
i am quite curious as well to whether the red stains entails the crack addict based sharpie aroma or the scent of a bloody excruciating period pain.
either way, i'd so buy 'em mentos after my jaw dropping reaction to the commercial.
tampon/playtex commercials may feel violated though just because they can't cross over to the candy advertisements. (i think)
silly girl! mentos is not the end all problem solving solution for every facet of life. everyone knows it is Trix.
This just kicks too much ass...
HAHAHAHAHA! This made my day. Absolutely hilarious. See? Now i've got the theme song stuck in my head. Back in my freshman year of college, we filmed and starred in our own mentos commercials to promote a festival. You would have been the ultimate screenwriter!
ewww
I miss the commercial Jingle. I mean, everyone TO THIS DAY remembers the most effective television jingles of the 80's and 90's. The only modern jingle I can think of is the freecreditreport.com jingle, and who doesn't have that memorized? Marketing needs to get their head out of their asses and bring back the jingle!
@DrugInducedDuck - f-r-e-e-that spells free, credit report.com baby!
arrrh! you have it stuck in my head!
haha that's really nasty!
Check this link for the ultimate Mentos commercial, but beware it is for adult audiences only.

Genius! Although it's kind of like that one where the guy sits on the painted bench in his suit and then makes stripes by rolling around. But yours is funnier. And now I have that catchy Mentos jingle stuck in my head. Thanks. Thanks a lot... Haha
And your comments section still seems to hate me.
didnt see that coming... thanks once again to Mentos, the fresh maker
Wow, hee-larious!
HA! Genius!
You had me laughing out loud! That's hilarious. I think you need to pitch that idea to the mentos people!
I will never think of Mentos the same way...
I love your sense of humor. lol.

THAT IS AMAZING! Good job. xD
Yuckeeeeee....
HAHA. i actually had that happen to me before, and mentos didn't help me, but i did have extra clothes in my locker (i had a second wardrobe in there loll). Embarrassing, but no one ever found out....til right this moment. LOL
you gotta get into the commercial business!
you are eruption of awesome! (fob voice with a thumbs up)
Loll
hahaha... I want to see a mentos commercial with someone fighting unstoppable aliens. Guy eats a mentos, has an epiphany and offers the alien a mentos... everyone's happy. Yay! lol

now i know what to do whenever that happens to me. thanks, mentos!
I knew there was a reason that I've always been suspicious of Mentos.....
Hahahahaha, that was great.
Gross-er!
BAHAHAHAHA. funny!
That's AWESOME. Haha.
Whenever I think of Mentos, I just wanna put them in some diet coke though.
This is kind of similar to one of their commercials, where the guy in a black tux sits on a bench with white paint. But I like your commercial, it's funny.
Haha! Thanks for making me laugh!
Gross, but funny.
Anybody remember fruit flavored Mentos? I like those better than the mint.
Did soap and water not work?
HAHAHAH..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
lol. polka dots.
hahaha nasttyy
Hysterical. And nasty. But mostly just hysterical.
LMAO!!! Great post, I've never thought of making a fashion statement out of a period mishap..yay for mentos, the freshmaker! ^__^
Comics rock. Periods suck.
Hmmm...I must go buy mentos now.
brilliant!
mentos;; the fresh-maker!
hahahaa.
i love when the girl is singing it in the movie, clueless. (:
hey! I love that comercial you made up. Its really funny and i love it. great job! maybe youll become a commercial writer or something?
i've gotta hand it to you! i love this commercial (you should go into advertisment!) smart and kirky at the same time
that is so cool!!!!! and to think that i actually found myself singing the whole Mentos song... hahahahaha... cool... hugs...
You should've been one of the writers for those commercials. What's next, something along of make soiling oneself cool as in Billy Madison?
eew
hmmm i wonder how mentos got it's name?
true story?
this is SO mentos! lol.
ROFFLES
lol... nice.
LOL XD
ROFL! That is so great! You should have been a writer for the Mentos commercials. And I love the use of MS Paint!
hahaha...
great painting....
woah! flash back moments...how I miss thee, lol
you are freaking amazing
Again, I am glad I am not a female. I don't have to worry about period stains, I just have to worry about making sure I don't knock people out with my BO.
Sorry, I'm stalking your blog, but I've been reading it for over half an hour and am laughing my ass off.
Haha, I enjoy the visuals. =)
omfg. marry me now. i must have some genius in my gene pool
LMAO!
Good, stuff.

lmfaooooooooooooooooooooooo
TEE-HEE!
I thought this was damned funny...
Disgusting, but at the same time halarious, haha

HAHA!
Wha?! Period stained dress?! *shocked beyond belief*
LOL! This is nice! They should've thought about that too!
That was great! Very funny!
Lol, awesome.
