Summer is coming. The air is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and if you live near the coast, the freaks are coming out. Specifically, the Sun Drop chick.
Yes, the mascot of this citrus-tastic beverage looks like she moonwalked directly out of Napoleon Dynamite and onto your screen, and she's "droppin' it" across the nation. Honestly, when we saw this woman we knew not whether to laugh or cry...we were mesmerized.
Which isn't surprising given that the whole advert goes for that head-scratchingly random vibe we've become increasingly familiar with lately. Exhibit A: random dancing everywhere from a yoga class to a fishing boat. Some differences stand out though.
For one thing, Sun Drop chick just seems super friendly, which makes no sense considering the extremely provocative dance she's doing. If she backed it up next to our car window, we'd try to give her a hug. And she'd probably let us. Probably. Another thing on the less positive side: the voiceover actor for this commercial sounds like the bastard child of Tracy Morgan and Marlon Brando in The Godfather; pretty much Tracy Morgan with a mouthful of marbles. That makes us angry.
Now, this is a recent commercial we have seen only moments ago, yet it has already become something of a sensation, spawning a Mountain Dew parody and other spoof videos on YouTube. Another thing to pop in the "revelations" file: this soda has wet the whistles of people in the good ol' souf' since the 50s y'all. It was only released nationally this year.
We haven't tasted it yet, so we'll withhold judgement, but our guess is it tastes like Sprite. Or Slice. Or 7Up. Or Sierra Mist. Just a guess.
