Right, I'm having another productive debate at w*rk. This time, over an advert that supposedly existed about 15 years ago

Apparantley Mr Soft was a kind of Michelen Type guy But he was white & made out of mints or something Oh, he banged into lamposts & letter boxes It sounds to me like he was really watching somebody wearing a white shirt walking home from the pub one night

So did he really exist?

Cheers

Trebor Softmints (Mr. Soft)

Mr. Soft, won't you tell me why the world in which your living is so strange...
Oh, Mr. Soft, how come everything around is so soft and rearranged..

[narrator]

Bite through the shell of a trebor softmint and everything turns chewy and soft.
They're crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside.
