LOL JUICE! NOW WITH NO BAD STUFF! [http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25184076-36398,00.html]
A new product to have hit the markets recently is 'LOL Juice'. Coming in radical flavors such as 'Tropkl', 'Razz Bri', and 'Go Man Go' this must surely be a hit with the young'ns.
I just Google'd 'Go Man Go' to get this. [http://www.disobey.com/detergent/2003/gomango.jpg] Yay for making a drink flavor a adult novel as well. Smart move juice company who will remain anonymous.
But seriously. What were they thinking? I first saw the word LOL and instinctively went to buy it until I saw the flavor name and the ridiculous face on it. And the fact its just carbonated juice with a heap more sugar. How heaps? Try 26 grams of sugar per 250mL can.
Back on what I was saying. Trying to target the younger audience to get into drinking juice with 1) a gimmicky name (LOL), 2) Names obviously made by a geratric who 'knew' all the slang kids are using these days, and 3) making it look like an energy drink with the alluminium casing and (In stores) putting it with the energy drinks.
When I tried interviewing one of the kids who had recently drunk the stuff I was responded to with a scream followed by 'GIMME LOL! I WANT SUGAR!'. Enough said? Seriously, in the provided picture (see above) the kids look hyped up on sugar just looking at the damn thing.
Oh and on the can the 'No Bad Stuff' slogan is clearly a lie. The 26 grams of sugar and the faces of the kids drinking it clearly shows there must be either a lot of sugar or a lot of weed [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_eqvwuZr0jQk/RmKlZd2H-iI/AAAAAAAAAXI/7ytiQgvOZRM/s400/Cannabis%2BTea_low.jpg] in it.
Whats your opinion on this?
