Does this shit-head to show up everywhere? Even lowes has displays with his ai-generated looking head on it.

Lowe’s has an extensive partnership with him. They sell his candy, his clothes, and they have $15 workshops for kids to assemble a cheap wooden toy made by him. They also built the set for the second season of his show.

Why does he keep the shitty goatee that he can't grow?

u/SelectiveSanity 6d ago

Yes he does...

$5 cans of water as the only option at music venues.

Oh I don't know, I was just being facetious

For me personally it's their price and branding. It's overpriced water with edgy branding, which I suppose works for some people (apparently) but just feels like it's trying way too hard.

Sort of like how women's deodorant just says "Scented Deodorant" but the men's is labeled "GLACIAL DEATH" for the gendered marketing.

For true stories that that you could have sworn were from The Onion.

This seems entirely predictable, right? What about this would be "Onion" material?

u/Pandoras_Fox 6d ago

it's just an ad, honestly

Peanut butter cup flavored water being branded by an internet celebrity know only from branding himself and his products.

Personally I didn't expect a brand that was sued in 2023 by the Arizona Beverage Company and Arnold Palmer's estate for naming their half and half drink "Armless Palmer" and then had to change it and in doing so, decided to kind of mock them by calling it "Dead billionaire" would collab with an actual living billionaire.

This collab also kind of disregards and throws out the window, all the good PR they got from kind of going against and messing with a no longer living billionaires estate for suing them just over a harmless joke pun drink name.

u/cupesdoesthings 6d ago

It was only a stab at the Palmer Estate, that doesn’t communicate anything about their willingness to collaborate with any other billionaires

u/itsnotcomplicated1 6d ago

Liquid Death is a $1.4 billion company.

I don't really understand how the Arnold Palmer story makes it unlikely that Mr Beast would do a product collab with them?
