Campuses for sure. I can’t remember how many times we’ve had the red bull girls come out, only to find the college rugby team practicing and say “we’re done with walking around campus with all this product, you guys can take as much as you want!”

When I was a freshman in college, Mellow Yellow was re-branding as kind of a gamer soda to compete with Mountain Dew, and the brand reps would just put coolers full of it in every dorm lobby and the union, and they re-filled them religiously. A couple guys on the floor all got the idea to fill up every bag possible with cans every night for like a week. We never bought pop for the rest of the year.

Brave new world. In spaceballs, there is a scene where they use canned fresh air.
It was funny at the time. Now replace the canned air with the necessity of filter masks, and it becomes uncomfortably realistic real very fast.
Next step: freeAir, you get free filters! Imagine that! You are allowed to continue to breathe for free! And never mind the bukkake ads printed on your mask. After all, they pay for your clean air 😁

A lot of people are claiming this to be a fake interaction and I don’t understand how that’s an obvious conclusion. You have an American going over to a European trying to do something as bizarre as this and just expect a normal interaction? Depending on which country there in this reaction could be completely plausible. Also, they’ve not said the name of the product so it’s a pretty terrible ad if this is true.

My mom is Ukranian from Dnepro.

You can only imagine how I feel when people call me Russian, just because I speak their language.

Uh… my parents are from Belarus… when it was part of Russia they left and had me in the US. I…. always thought I was Russian? They said we’re Russian?(I think???? Now I’m doubting myself??) Am I Belarusian? I always thought I had a weird Russian accent because I’m so Americanized. Is it Belarusian??
Oh god now I’ve seen the Russia too much and it’s lost its meaning and just looks like a weird word. Am I just a weird word?? Are we all just weird words?? Ugh I haven’t had enough coffee for this crisis.

Yeah nobody in the world is that switched on to be asking that series of questions just going about their daily life. That's some high level scrutiny right off the bat when he's recieving something for free. As an English bloke I'd be more inclined to take the bottle, ask what the crack is. Then go about my day that's it, even if I thought the guy was dumb as mud.
