Mentos! LMAO! I remember they looked weird and dated even when they were new. Not a bad marketing concept.

The Church of the Latterday Saints. Ruined all my morning cartoons. Watch in here or find more on Youtube, OP. I can't make it through them. Too cringe.

I remember it as a woman spilling her purse & picture the girl helping her pick what looked like miscellaneous pamphlets off the floor of the bus, and that is how she got separated from her mom.

Just so glad to know someone else remembers this.



Op here again, I’m so glad someone else remembers too!!

I remember another one where there was a bride and groom who were late showing up for their wedding because they were going to visit what one would assume was an elderly family member, probably a grandmother, at a nursing home or something.

It probably was some sort of religious group supporting the ads.

And another one im which a little girl gets separated from her mom and only speaks Spanish and someone helps her find her mom eventually.
I feel like they were like PSA commercials about being kind or something.
And I mixing a few up? Am I nuts?
TIA


Sounds like "The 700 Club" commercials or something.
