Launched Thursday, Bubly will be lining up on store shelves by the end of this month. Also available onAmazon, the water line comes in eight flavors (lime, grapefruit, strawberry, lemon, orange, apple, mango, and cherry), none of which have sweeteners, artificial flavors, or calories. The drink will be available in packs of 12-ounce cans, as well as 20-ounce single-serve bottles.

Before you take a sip, pop the tab and check out each can's tiny, friendly greeting, such as “Hey u,” “hiii,” and “yo.” The brightly-colored cans also contain cheeky messages (“I feel like I can be open around you,” “hold cans with me,” and “love at first phssst”).

“We created ‘bubly’ to provide consumers with a great-tasting, flavorful, unsweetened sparkling water in a fun, playful, and relevant manner that is unlike anything we've seen in the sparkling water category today," Todd Kaplan, vice president of PepsiCo's water portfolio, said in a release.

"Bubly is geared towards people that want a playful experience,” a PepsiCo spokesperson told TODAY Food. “In particular, millennials are at the core, but PepsiCo hopes that Bubly will also be attractive for consumers that have never tried sparkling water before."

Top Tip, to save money: just add a few drops of Rocks orange cordial to a bottle of own brand sparkling water, and then write something like Go Fuck Yourself on it with a green sharpie.

those oat milk ads have infested new york city now and stand in stark contrast to the other genre of new york city subway ads which is "your life in this city is a psychically exhausting trauma parade and this product might slightly help"

no it will go through the ceiling because it is glass and at that point the laws of gravity will be broken also

ugh; I'd assume that's supposed to be ironic given recent circs of the company (or the ordinary) but perhaps not.

illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 15 July 2018 20:08 (five years ago) link

I hate, hate, hate it the most when it's making a claim about what the company is like to work for. 'Cute and happy' does not fit in with the reality of what any job is like, even if the job is looking after the puppy in a shop that sells fairies and glitter. Imagine the mental stress involved in making 'cute and happy!' fit in with getting a bollocking off a boss for being below target and they're wrong but you need the money.

I have a lot of time for autism spectrum mavericks, but anyone who could be bothered with such a maintained charade of "eccentricity" could only be a 100% neurotypical imo.

Ha, I was just watching Limmy's Dee Dee sketch where he's in the kitchen and imagining the inner life of his t-shirt, this one sounds a bit less aggressive though.

Oh, good. We were worried something had happened to you—because you haven't opened a Morning Brew email in a while. (And we naturally assumed the worst: a terrible roller coaster accident.)

Still interested in receiving the Brew? Then just click here and we'll keep delivering you the goods. If not, you don't have to do anything — we'll automatically remove you from our list.

Thanks,

Wasn't there actually a terrible roller-coaster accident in this country not that long ago? I hope they've got their CRM/legal team in order.

I was going to say, I remember reading about people being seriously injured and a girl who had her leg amputated. Not cool.

Yeah, they can't even do twee bollocks right. Correct form would be "catastrophic knitting accident" or the like

not sure this belongs here but I have two bugbears right now with social media adversiting:

1) announcements of local shows by performers are always phrased as: "San Francisco, we can't wait to see you!" Fuck off, I don't believe for a second anyone in the Damned thinks this.
2) I think this shit started with that stupid Omaze place but the photos of celebrities holding white signs with words written on them....drives me up the fucking wall.

wait, white signs w/words like in the Bob Dylan "Subterranean Homesick Blues" movie ... or something else?

it's 'cause some charities only get five minutes every six months with their celeb.

so they take a picture of them holding up a white piece of card and add the copy later
