Yeah, but that's part of the effect, I'm looking for the cause.

My theory is that cleetus invented skittles as a gay Bizarro alternative to M&Ms, but I need more hard scientific data to back this up.

Mentos commercials kick *** dude. I'm gonna like start hacking people up in my basement with a chainsaw, and then when the comes come to investigate, just pop a mentos out and they'll laugh and be like oh all right, that's cool and go away.

"Oh sorry, I just ran over your dog, and totalled your car when I shot your gran..." But it's all OK because I pop a Mentos?

The commercials are lame, but I like the candy.

The ads I hate the most now is the gum commercial for some gum I can't remember (I think I hate them so much my brain has locked it up and thrown away the key, guess the Advertisers failed). The lady gives somebody this gum then something get's splattered all over them but their teeth are all shiny. (Duh if they keep their mouth shut it would be)
