The famous Mentos ad campaign

As you know i'm not into advertising but it is still an area which i really like and that i'm linked to as i deal with designers, concept developers and graphic artists on the daily basis. Today i bumped into a famous Mentos advert which was develop just less than a year ago (some of you might already know it) and it was for the Russian market. Below you can see three of those famous ads and you will understand why everybody in Europe suddenly started to talk about this campaign.






Will we ever see such things in Oman? Nah!

    I wish there was more of these types of "funny ads" around - I believe it's the best form of advertising...

    Too bad I can't look at video at work. I like the Mentos commercials, although I could never figure out why. I still remember the one where they climbed through the car.

    But now I'm into the Orbit commercials.

    Hi Tirzah, this were printed ads and yes, Mentos commercials have always been very good. I'll check out the Orbit ones now.
