Liquid Death Spills Some Blood for Electrolyte Drink Mix Intro

GAL (watching a zombie attack): Oh no! She’s eating Ted!

GUY (revs chainsaw): We’ve gotta take her head off!

GAL: She partied pretty hard last night. Maybe she’s just dehydrated.

Renowned for its NSFW marketing, canned water brand Liquid Death gets gratuitously gross to introduce an electrolyte drink mix. This stuff’s uproarious but potentially upsetting. Faint-hearted folks, take heed.

“We just go wherever feels funniest to us,” vice president of creative Andy Pearson tells Muse. “When people are hungover, they say they feel like zombies. We simply decided to take them at their word.”

“It’s never about the gore,” he hastens to add. “It’s about creating pieces of entertainment that subvert the idea of what marketing can be. Sometimes, it’s blood-covered people getting on with their days. And sometimes it’s a recycling glory hole.”

The Death Dust push follows anti-Super Bowl shenanigans that involved an eBay auction for ad space on LD packages. Dude Wipes claimed they won. But they actually didn’t. That honor went to Coinbase (the SB QR code kingpins from 2022) for slightly more than $500,000.

The confusion generated five bloody more minutes of hype for everyone!
