Question about Mentos commercial [View all]

Not those "freshmaker" ones. Earlier.

I seem to remember one taking place in some kind of candy company boardroom, with stodgy men sitting around a table, when one of them suggests making chewy mints.

The chairman, who I believe is British, scoffs, "Chewy mints?!? Mints were meant to be like this. Rock 'ard!" He then pounds one on the table with a hammer, breaking the table.

I've done some basic googling with no success.


Ring a bell for anyone?
