More Commercials That Piss Me Off
Have you seen this one?
Sure, I can see that. Because the shape of the bottle is how I choose my beverage, not unimportant considerations like, you know, flavor.
This is quite an assumption to base your entire marketing campaign on, Aquapod. Sure, kids are stupid, but I think they'll eventually realize that despite the extreme (or is that passe now?) bottle it's in, water doesn't have any taste, let alone sugar or caffeine. I can already see this argument dying a painful death in my house five years from now.
("Aw, come on, Avery! You don't want water? But it's orbtastic!")
New Aquapod bottled water! Because of its fun shape, kids will drink more water and less of those other beverages.

Also 'fat and round with those stubby bits out of the bottom' isn't exactly what I think of when I think of 'cool shape'. Maybe if it was actually mostly spherical with a flat bottom...

I totally agree with Q, but I also think that "orbtastic" is going to be added to my daily vocabulary.
Really, I don't get it. There was someone else marketing water in those little milk cartons and trying to pass it off as "new" and "exciting", too. All I can think when I see that is..."It's water! What's cool about that?"
OMG! I totally agree with you. I heard that quote about kids drinking it and I think I almost spit water out while listening.
So orbtastic.
