In the mood for Whatever and Anything?
Whatever soda, and its partner, Anything soda, sound like trite marketing gimmicks aimed at nostalgic Gen-Xers. But the stuff’s actually made in Singapore, where nostalgia may be illegal. It’s described as “a surprise in a can,” since the flavors (of which there are many) aren’t marked on the product. We’re surprised that some of JWT Sydney’s vending-machine artwork was approved, actually. Given the choice of receiving one’s beverage through a birth canal, a man’s ass or a magician’s hat, we’ll take the magician’s hat every day of the week. Sure, these ads are outlandish, but is this gem for Coke Zero really that much different? Via Ads of the World.
