If you were having a rough morning, it’s okay, you can start smiling again. The 90’s are stopping through for a hilarious dose of nostalgia.
As if the fashion wasn’t enough to make you crack a grin, the video is complete with a horribly catchy tune (I really admire the 90’s sellouts that created that little diddy). The commercial has the dramatic structure and story arc that’s worthy of a Greek epic.
It begins with out with our average hero and his majestic mullet (wait, is that a mullet? I can’t tell. Usually, I only accept men that wear their long locks in a bun). One day, our young hero is out with his friends looking for camaraderie (and probably snap bracelets). The group is having a merry time strolling through the streets laughing at their own silly clothes. But then, disaster strikes and our antagonist makes an entrance. Our hero is isolated from his group and must conquer the odds. What is he to do now?
It’s okay, Mentos is here to save the day. Our young hair uses his quick-witted platinum-blonde noggin to outsmart the villain and continue his quest with his fellow normcore-clad clan.
No really, it’s that beautifully dated. See for yourself:
