Sunkist Is Now The Most Alternative Orange Soda

Remember when 30 Seconds to Mars decided they'd be the screamo version of Arcade Fire that sucks? Me neither, but they apparently did, via their song "Kings and Queens." I have never heard it because I have more important things to do in life than listen to the "music" project of former actor who was maybe in a few cool things but now totally sucks. Like partying, or something.

At any rate, Sunkist has decided that that 30 Seconds to Mars song is the best song for getting "cool" people to drink Sunkist. As you may or may not know, Sunkist is the best of all the orange sodas already*, but apparently the company is insecure with its status in the orange soda game, and wanted to brand itself as the most alt orange soda of all time. Consider this a success, then, I guess. The best part: That there's a line telling you where it is, because without knowing that this was shot in Malibu, you'd be all like, "I don't understand how this could be happening on Earth." Great commercial, Sunkist. [HR]  

*- Which is like saying you're the best player on the Oakland Raiders. It probably helps you get laid every once in a while, but saying that to a player** who plays on a real team with real coaches, it makes you look like a piece of shit. 

**- This would be Coke, not Pepsi, in this analogy. Because Pepsi sucks.
