Nudity-Concealing Candy Campaigns

These Mentos Chewing Gum Ads Use Nakedness to Sell Products

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.
