Evolution Fresh has introduced its 'Fresh Twist on Soda' campaign, aiming to challenge the longstanding tradition of movie-goers purchasing sugary, unhealthy sodas at theaters. In an effort to promote a healthier alternative, the brand encourages consumers to bring its Real Fruit Soda into theaters in a playful, rebellious manner through the use of limited-edition "smuggling devices."
To highlight this message, the campaign features a series of humorous props, such as casts, boxing gloves, and more, all equipped with hidden compartments designed to perfectly fit Evolution Fresh’s Real Fruit Soda. Additionally, a standout element of the campaign is the release of a limited-edition cowboy hat, priced at $5, which cleverly references the product's low sugar content (5g). Notably, the cowboy hats sold out within one hour, signaling a strong consumer desire for healthier beverage options.
In response to the high demand, Evolution Fresh will release a second batch of cowboy hats on April 2; these will be available exclusively at smugglerealfruitsoda.com, while supplies last.
