Buckley’s–better than Spring Break hot tub water.

“It tastes awful. And it works.” Why mess with that short and sweet USP? That’s always been their mantra but now the message gets a facelift in the form of a MySpace page which David at AdPulp also caught. Included are consumer-generated nasty face pic uploads and some funny testimonial videos. For the uninitiated, Buckley’s was a family-owned brand before Novartis Canada bought it in 2002. Odd that Buckley’s has a main site for Canada and just a MySpace for the U.S. version. Since I’m never really on MySpace, it’s unlikely I’d have seen it if it weren’t for the TV spots. First brand I can think of that’s done that. Maybe more will follow suit and leave the standard website behind.
