Hip-Hop for Bad Presents and Cranberry Juice.

To compel holiday shoppers to try Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash, Creature organized the Re-Gift Rap Battles, which will hit shopping malls in most major cities coast to coast.

Imagine White Elephant, except with a persuasion element: participants grab a wrapped gift — a nose hair trimmer, ceramic cat, backscratcher — then rap about it to another contestant. At each event, eight contestants will be sifted through four rounds, after which a winner and the worst holiday gift will be named.

Somewhat more exciting than pulling a sampler afternoon at Costco. Think Jin the Bay Area wonder will come out and play?
