Fiji paid for product placement, and the public made it a meme exactly as they wanted.

You mean the company owning the trademark? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiji_Water )

Good point, you think she will? Unless she signed a contract that even stores that sell Fiji water can use her image and likeliness.

HOW DID IT LOOK NATURAL?
iamthisguy247
Natural in the sense that we made it a meme, not that they planned it that way. Like she wasn’t instructed to photobomb everyone.
bluefawks
It was designed for foolish people to think it was natural.

Fiji is definitely getting their money’s worth outta that model.

Kinda a bad/risky move on Fiji's part. It's possible celebs will get angry at being used for advertising without their consent (or pay).

How does it look like rebellion?
QuiteADapperAsshole
I know the girl posed in pics but what rebellion happened?
Cereaza
The idea being that she was photobombing. When in reality, fiji paid for her to be there.

I see. That makes sense. I’ve no idea what anyone is talking about. But this makes sense. (Goes back under his rock)

So, not an ounce of rebellion. ?

I like how the article states that this was NOT planned by Fiji, but the photographer decided on the spot. Fiji simply directed the story.
BavarianGuy
Sure every photographer there wanted to shoot unsellable photos for fun...

Was anyone so naive to think the girl "accidentally" photobombed 100's of photos ? Of course it was planned.

Meanwhile in Finland during the 2018 IAAF World U20 Championships the organizers encouraged people to not drink bottled water but to...

Fiji water helps by providing jobs and revenue. In a resource poor country, you do what you gotta do.

Well if the article is to be believed that's 12% of Fiji people *don't* have access to clean water, so still very bad but not 53% bad.

Well, 12% is way better than 53%.
CityYeti
Oh, I thought the other way around. That's good

12% of 912, 241 is still a lot of people without access to clean drinking water.

Also power is an issue. What water they have can be rationed. Many people have their own tanks if they can afford them.

You're buying a plastic bottle. The water is free.
mbHogmountain2017
The water is most definitely NOT FREE! There are machine & energy costs associated with pumping, testing, purifying, ANY bottled water.

Unless the bottle is f`kin huge like 5-10 liters (x10-20 small bottles in water)?

minipancho94
I think the point is most places have local access to water and it doesn't need to be shipped, Unlike soda which is a commodity.
mbHogmountain2017
Soda is a MANUFACTURED product; as is bottled water. There are differences in their production costs but the distribution is the same

is any different than drinking tap water, or if Fiji water has those properties at all, or if reducing aluminum is good for you. 2/2
