This NOS Energy Drink Ad Will Convince You to Just Drink Water

Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium hexametaphosphate (preservative), caffeine, taurine, natural flavors, acacia, potassium sorbate (preservative), glycerol ester of rosin, l-theanine, sucralose, yellow 5, calcium disodium edta (preservative), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), yellow 6, guarana, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12)

And you call that a health drink? WTF has marketing and manufacturing come to? Those are the ingredients of Coke’s NOS Energy Drink that’s being touted in a new spot from Mistress which will air weekly during FOX’s The Ultimate Fighter and FOX’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

In the spot, we see a grizzled old man who looks like he’s been through a life of hell. As the spot progresses, he get younger, trimmer, leaner and, generally more healthy looking. Maybe if he hadn’t consumed NOS his whole life, he wouldn’t have ended up looking so beaten down.

As if proud of how those who seemingly consume its beverage, NOS has relaunched its website which now features an app that lets visitors upload a picture of themselves, participate in a lifestyle questionnaire and the app will then reproduce the photo complete with scars and other elements of a “full life.”

Fuck. We’re sticking with water.
