Mentos Commercial Parodies draw inspiration from the iconic 1990s 'The Freshmaker' advertising campaign, characterized by upbeat jingles and protagonists solving complex social dilemmas through unconventional, smug, or downright bizarre actions after consuming a Mentos. The internet community took this formula and applied it to darker, more chaotic, or absurd scenarios where the 'Freshmaker' solution is often wildly inappropriate or surreal. These memes typically capture the campy aesthetic of the original commercials, often concluding with a confident thumbs-up and the signature logo overlay. They serve as a nostalgic vehicle for irony, poking fun at the simplistic problem-solution logic of vintage advertising within a modern, cynical digital landscape.
