Greenwashing Advertisement: Mentos Gum

Mentos – Freshly Picked Gum. Ad from People Magazine in February, 2009. Greenwashing at it’s best, or maybe it’s worst? I’m not sure. I can’t tell if this is a joke or not, but it certainly implies that their processed gum is fresh and straight off the vine. I’d love to see a tree that grows Mentos gum pieces. I hope it’s a joke.

Hey, I wrote this ad! It is meant as a joke. The next one in the series is for watermelon, with the headline “Introducing Seedless Gum” Get it? All gum is seedless!
