DCarp1231 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I’m sure we’ve all done it at least a time or two. Maybe you liked it, maybe you hated it. You initially bought the product because the branding looked great in your eyes. No other motive. Here’s a few of mine- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Bones Coffee comes to mind. I'm not a big flavored coffee fan, but I had a couple that were alright. Unfortunately my wife then bought like 14 pounds of Bones Coffee for me that I have very little intention of drinking anytime soon, but their packaging is cool. 3 Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Chromatic Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 There's a brewery up here that makes fantastic, but admittedly expensive beer. I only tried them in the first place because I think they have great branding, which I guess works. I think they have an excellent logo, but I enjoy the memeworthiness of their products. Here's some examples. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much space is in your freezer but it should save you a few trips to the store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Sure, it’s just water, but boy is it some high quality H2O. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be intense on an energy drink. Thats something I'd expect on a 70% whiskey from some hipster distillery. Also maybe this just isn't common where I live but its weird to me to see water in cans outside some emergency preparedness kit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reduces plastic waste. Which a lot of their marketing is centered around. I personally find it better tasting than other leading water brands. Yes, not all water tastes the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not arguing the sense, its just that I never see it where I live. I see it in bottles (plastic or aluminum) and even those squishy drink packs, but in cans I can't recall the last time I saw it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see just as many Circle Ks, On-The-Runs, etc. I'm not typically someone who buys water anyway. I usually fill up my bottle at home and lug it around with me. Its both environmentally better and cheaper too. On the off chance I do buy water though I do admit I prefer bottles because they're resealable. Its rare that I sit down and chug the entire thing in one sitting, I like to sip as I go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I just did this the other day with two ciders as while I have a go-to, I'm always willing to see if another brand can be just as good, or better: Neither was good as Grower's (my usual) IMO..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people buy comics for the art. Sure the story is there, but the artwork ties it together. As far as another product I intend on buying because of the branding- I’m a sucker for simplistic designs like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I was sucked in by the branding and the regionality of it. Probably one of the worst things I have ever tasted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought it because I thought the red and gold can looked cool. Beer tasted like ass though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was pretty common knowledge, but a lot of people either don't know this or just don't taste the difference. Spring water, distilled water, tap water, all taste different. I like Smart Water, which is basically created in a lab since it's distilled with some minerals added back in. Has a taste that I like more than spring or tap water.
