Beaver Beverage Company (BBC) recently debuted a new campaign for the launch of Beaver Water that "celebrates in all its funny forms a somewhat vulgar term for female genitalia." The water for the beer comes from the Tushar Mountains in Beaver, Utah.
In the video, a woman is talking to an obviously fake beaver. As they debate the merits of naming the beverage Beaver, she says, "Trust me, on a hot day, people are going to love drinking an ice-cold Beaver," and the beaver says, "So let me get this straight. You are empowering people to do dam (sic) good with their Beaver." It ends with the slogan, "Dam Good Water," and a shot of the can with a haloed beaver.
As a counterweight to the humor, the brand is donating 10% of its point-of-purchase profits to empowering women and 100% of the profits from custom merch sales on its site to various nonprofits that empower and improve the lives of women. They are starting with a line of clothing that supports the Young Survival Coalition, which is dedicated to young breast cancer survivors.
