New York Gets First Taste Of Canned Zen

Pedestrian Safety Warning: Watch out for laid-back dudes struggling to keep a hold on their cans of ‘relaxing’ soft drinks while steering a segway around Manhattan’s streets.

Glass of Human Fat Debuts In New Health Department Ads

Do you enjoy soda and other delicious sugary beverages? If so, you may as well raise a cup of human fat to your lips and chug, according to a new public awareness campaign by the NYC Health Dept. The print ads depict, in graphic detail, human fat mottled with blood vessels being poured from a bottle of cola; a plastic "sports" drink bottle that looks like Gatorade; and a glass bottle of iced tea resembling Snapple, New York City's "official beverage."

The specialty beverage industry – particularly Smart Water – is now the recipient of a clever parody from Brooklyn designer/photographer Till Krautkramer, who’s rolled out an elaborate marketing campaign for a line of beverages called MeatWater.

Mangia! You’ll feel like youse is at da famous San Gennaro festival in New Yawk’s Little Italy after drinkin’ dis. But widdout the annoying bridge-and-tunnel crowds askin’ “How much is doze zeppoles? Tree fuh a dollah? I’ll take tree.”
Other appealing liquid meals include Beef Jerky, Beef Stroganof, Fish'n Chips, and Brunch Omelette ("There’s nothing like a lazy Sunday! But who wants to go all the way to the diner and wait in line with the other losers for a table?")
