Blog Says Barcardi Mixx is Better Than Beer

BTB-ad-images_frame_002.jpg

We just don’t have the time to read all these faux/character blogs that brands seem to think people will find really cool but Shannon over at glossy doesn’t like this one from Bacardi called Better Than Beer. There’s a lot of weird stuff on the site including videos of a guy biking into a banner for no apparent reason, and old lady in a hair salon and a three breasted woman. The blog is written by “Dave” who says Bacardi keeps his fridge stocked with Bacardi Mixx as payment to write about his life. And yes, the whole thing is to promote Bacardi Mixx.

Psychology says parents who unconsciously compete with their adult child’s partner for closeness don’t realize they’re running a test the child can’t pass — because choosing the partner looks like betrayal and choosing the parent feels like regression, and the child eventually solves it by choosing distance, which is the one outcome nobody wanted but everyone’s behavior made inevitable

Research suggests people who put items back exactly where they found them in stores — even when they decide not to buy them — aren’t just being considerate, they’re revealing a worldview where other people’s labor is visible and valuable, not invisible

Psychology says the most painful form of parent-child distance isn’t estrangement, it’s functional politeness — where calls happen on schedule, visits are brief and pleasant, and nobody says anything real, because both people have silently agreed that surface-level contact is safer than the honest conversation that might break something neither of them knows how to repair
