V Rentals is the "future of renting things," according to the V Energy website. The energy drink brand, which is owned by Frucor Beverages, has just launched a funny campaign that promotes its faux company V Rentals, and which offers fans the chance to win things like a unicorn chauffer, a mini version of you, a personal heralder and a monkey butler named 'Bubbles.'
The V Rentals campaign features the "entrepreneur" Glen Gibbons, who, according to PSFK, has "handpicked these ‘money can’t buy’ experiences to share with loyal V customers." All you have to do is enter the numbers of the barcode from a V Energy drink can onto the brand's site and tell them why you should win the strange -- but awesome -- rental.
