I don't even know where to start with this one. Redux Beverages, a company who created controversy with their energy drink Cocaine (now known as No Name), has introduced a new product- BRAWNDO, the Thirst Mutilator! (http://brawndo.com/) BRAWNDO is officially licensed by 20th Century Fox through OMNI Consumer Products Corp., a company which specializes in creating products based on fictional products from TV and movies (and is itself named after a fictional evil company from the RoboCop films).
Redux decided to create BRAWNDO due to the controversy caused by their Cocaine drink, which almost seemed to mimic the controversy BRAWNDO created in the Mike Judge film Idiocracy, which Fox intentionally limited-released, but became a success on home video- a success similar to that of Judge's earlier film Office Space, which only became a hit through home video. Redux hopes in part that BRAWNDO will do for it what red staplers did for Swingline after the release of Office Space. Redux is marketing BRAWNDO with a flippant online ad in the style of the film which can be seen in the link above.
For those of you unfamiliar with the film, in a future where everyone is stupid, the makers of BRAWNDO have purchased the FDA and have made it the official replacement of water. A average man from the past (who is now the smartest man in the country) helps solve the crisis of plants not growing. The reason? Everyone is placing BRAWNDO on their crops, believing the slogans "Brawndo's got electrolytes" and "Brawndo's got what plants crave" to be gospel. The real BRAWNDO is a lemon-lime flavored energy drink with caffeine, taurine, inotisol, guarina, and electrolytes- what plants crave!
(This post has not been authorized by Redux and/or 20th Century Fox. Do not use BRAWNDO to water crops. BRAWNDO does not have what plants crave.)
(Yes it does.)
(No it doesn't.)
(Yes it does. BRAWNDO's got electrolytes.)
(What are electrolytes?)
(They're what plants crave!)
