Zrii ~ for the low, low price of $179 per gallon!

After the Zrii post, I read some information online about The Chopra Center’s endorsement of the amalaki-based drink out of Utah.  Zrii and its independent agents are marketing this endorsement as huge because Deepak Chopra’s Center has supposedly never endorsed a third-party product.
Well, it’s not hard to understand why they might endorse this product when [...]

Looks like ocean love started about 165,000 years ago when humans first moved to the beaches

The great underlying Rapidsea question of how and when our love affair with the sea began has been narrowed — through a 45,000-year expansion in our knowledge of human beach history.  Mason Inman at the National Geographic news section is reporting that researchers have uncovered evidence in some caves in South Africa that shows humans [...]

Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips from Washington state ~ The best BBQ potato chips ever

As a guinea pig to paradise, I went into this bag of chips thinking that it was a huge joke of a marketing scheme.  Even the back of the bag said that they were made by a company in Washington state, so how could they really be Hawaiian?  In fact, how could a potato chip [...]

Australian beer "Brewtopia" ~ breaking up the beautiful people’s party

Reality busts through to Brewtopia in this Pure Blonde beer ad from Australia, brought to our attention by way of Duncan’s TV Ad Land:

This beer is apparently a full-alcohol beer with fewer carbs from Fosters.  The commercial is pretty entertaining.  There’s nothing like shaking up the ideal.  But it goes back to exactly the point [...]

MyScene dolls ~ a Happy Meal on a happy beach

I went into McDonald’s today hoping to get one of their scuba cups that I noticed someone carrying on the plane.  They have since switched to the Monopoly cups, but what I did see was the new MyScene dolls playing in as Happy Meal toys.  They’re the RollerGirls as seen on TV.  The theme?  Roller [...]

Chocolate ~ the one product that isn’t advertised with paradise ~ even though it’s grown there

Chocolate is rarely advertised with paradise, even though cocoa is actually grown in tropical places. Mounds and Almond Joy are the obvious exclusions, as they are actually marketed more as coconut with chocolate than chocolate with coconut. But cocoa is grown in fairly warm climates and rarely gets credit for it.
Some of the [...]

No-link ad round up ~ Campbell’s Soup, Kraft Live Active Cheese, and Citizens Ukulele Banking

Three noteworthy ads are bouncing around television this week. I have searched for copies of them online, but have had no luck yet.
First off, there’s Campbell’s soup, which is advertising their new sea salt alternatives with sea imagery apparently from this Oregon lighthouse. I’ve always felt like sodium chloride was sodium chloride, but [...]

How Coca Cola killed a little girl called Samantha; okay it was just her cartoon likeness, but still…

First off, welcome new subscribers. Try Rapidsea out for a few days, and you’ll notice a wide variety of things we cover from organic lemonade (today’s first post) to military recruitment. Thanks, too, to FeedBurner for pushing us to the top of the Buzz list. We meant all the nice things we [...]

There is no gastrointestinal distress in paradise ~ with Dannon Activia yogurt

Following along with the no-herpes-in-paradise post, here’s one for Dannon’s Activia, which promises no constipation either:

Click on the still and it will take you to the full commercial on their website activia.com.
I had some strange feeling when I heard the name of the bacteria “Bifidus regularis” that maybe that isn’t the real scientific name of [...]

Dew it up ~ with tiki theater and alien surfing

Alien surfer day part two. Part one is here if you haven’t read it.

I won’t start with the obvious Rapidsea connection to the name “Mountain Dew.” It’s best to dive in with some fine tidbits from Taco Bell’s exclusive new blend of Mountain Dew called Baja Burst. That link will take you to [...]
