A Guy Tweets That He'd Rather Drink Pee Than Vita Coco's Coconut Water . . . so They Post a Picture of a Jar of Fresh Pee for Him?
Brands have done some pretty weird stuff on social media in the past few years . . . but I'm not sure it has EVER gotten as weird as this.
A writer named Tony Posnanski has been in a Twitter battle with the coconut water brand Vita Coco for the past week because he HATES coconut water.
And yesterday morning, after Vita Coco offered to send him some free coconut water to change his mind, he tweeted, quote, "[Eff] that . . . I would rather drink your social media person's [pee] than coconut water."
So Vita Coco obliged.
About an hour later, they tweeted a picture of a female employee in the bathroom holding a jar of fresh pee. SERIOUSLY.
That's either the most badass Twitter stunt any brand has ever done or they're going to be out of business in a few months. And I'm genuinely not sure which. For what it's worth, even Tony said it was a good comeback and admitted defeat.

A Guy Made an Engagement Ring out of His Own Hair . . . Is That Romantic, Cheap, or Gross?
There's such a fine line between something being super romantic and totally and completely un-romantic.
A woman posted a picture on a Facebook wedding ring group on Friday. Apparently, her boyfriend proposed to her with an engagement ring that he made himself . . . out of his OWN HAIR.
She wrote, quote, "He proposed with a ring made from a lock of his own hair. This is a placeholder until my more intricately woven band is done."
So is that romantic . . . cheap . . . or gross? Well, based on the comments online, romantic is NOT getting a lot of votes. Cheap, gross, and cheap AND gross seem to be the much more common responses.
