In the mood for Whatever and Anything?
Whatever soda, and its partner, Anything soda, sound like trite marketing gimmicks aimed at nostalgic Gen-Xers. But the stuff’s actually made in Singapore, where nostalgia may be illegal. It’s described as “a surprise in a can,” since the flavors (of which there are many) aren’t marked on the product. We’re surprised that some of JWT Sydney’s vending-machine artwork was approved, actually. Given the choice of receiving one’s beverage through a birth canal, a man’s ass or a magician’s hat, we’ll take the magician’s hat every day of the week. Sure, these ads are outlandish, but is this gem for Coke Zero really that much different? Via Ads of the World.

what's the point of having multiple buttons on the machine to select a soda if there's no choice? there should just be one big button.

Steve, by the looks of things they already have one.

The art work doesn't have to be approved cause the client, if there is one, doesn't even know about it. JWT Sydney are the new kings of scam.
