Your brief was fine. I made it better. Hear me out.
THE BRIEF, IN ONE BLUNT SENTENCE
It's coffee that tastes like coffee, in a can, for people tired of drinking milkshakes with a caffeine problem.
"Premium Cold Brew, Elevated" is two adjectives in a trench coat. Retired.
THE 20
- Coffee. Not dessert.
- Black, cold, done.
- 0 grams of sugar. 100% of the point.
- Tastes like coffee. Weird flex, we know.
- Your barista's day off.
- The can your 3 p.m. deserves.
- Strong enough to answer email.
- No syrup. No foam. No apologies.
- Cold brew for people who read labels.
- Ingredients: coffee, water. That's the list.
- Crack it before the meeting.
- The anti-latte.
- It's not a smoothie. Relax.
- Steeped 18 hours. Gone in 4 minutes.
- Built for the commute, not the 'gram.
- Drink it like you mean it.
- If you wanted sweet, you'd have bought soda.
- Grown-up caffeine.
- One can. Two ingredients. Zero nonsense.
- Real cold brew for refreshing your coffee standards. (the one legal will like)
THE PICKS
- Bold pick: #1, "Coffee. Not dessert." Three words. Picks a fight with every sugary can on the shelf. Works on a can, a billboard and a tote bag.
- Safe pick: #10, "Ingredients: coffee, water. That's the list." Proves the claim in the headline. Hard to argue with.
KILLED ON THE WAY HERE
27 others. Including three puns on "brew-tiful." You're welcome.
Pick the brave one. (The safe one's there too. Sigh.) — Robert
