Mentos gets naked in its new advertising campaign for Mentos Chewing Gum, and it's pretty hard to ignore these clever risque ads.
Featured in the ads is a girl accidentally losing control of her dress and exposing her chest, a man galloping across a soccer field nude and a woman taking off her underwear. All these images contain a large hand holding the chewing gum container in just the right spot.
Created by The Martin Agency, these Mentos ads are a very clever way of getting the attention needed to let the public know that the brand also has gum. It has always been a known fact that sex sells, and the ingenious idea of placing the product packaging on top of naughty parts is perfect.
