We have an idea for a new Mentos commercial. A smiling doorman is greeting residents passing in and out of a NYC apartment building. But his breath is a big pungent. So pungent in fact, that he gets suspended from his job by a mean old boss. Luckily, the doorman finds a pack of Mentos, gobbles a few down, and it ends in one smiling, happy freeze frame.

That’s what happened to New York doorman Jonah Seeman – except he never got those Mentos. You might have heard the story of the 60-year-old doorman who was suspended for allegedly having halitosis (bad breath). Now his boss, Cooper Square Realty, is the one emitting the foul smell, as the story has gotten great traction in newspapers and in the Blogosphere.
