About this listen
Liquid Death dominated headlines this week with its wild Super Bowl LX splash, airing a 30-second PSA-style spot titled Stop Exploding or Exploding Heads during the February 8 game at Levis Stadium. Starring board-certified surgeon Dr. Darshan Shah, who co-formulated the drink, the ad hilariously depicts headless victims from rival energy drinks, with Shah reattaching papier-mache heads and guaranteeing Liquid Deaths Sparkling Energy—packing 100mg caffeine, zero sugar, and vitamins—wont blow your skull off. Adweek reports the pre-game buzz started February 9, promising no exploding heads to mock extreme competitors, while iSpot and Reel360 confirm the in-house Death Machine production hyped flavors like Scary Strawberry and Tropical Terror.
Post-game, MediaPost revealed AdMove AI data showing a massive 4067 percent surge in global Google searches, proving the spot converted viewers into searchers faster than a caffeine jolt. Esquire dubbed the papier-mache heads among the years creepiest visuals, and DesignRush listed it among top 15 ads alongside Bad Bunny and Mike Tyson spots. Yet not all buzz was glowing—Adweek critiqued on February 8 that the brands once-fresh shock value feels routine now, losing its renegade bite after stunts like last years Kegs for Pregs with Kylie Kelce.
No fresh public appearances or exec sightings popped up, but the campaigns timing fuels long-term buzz for Sparkling Energys Amazon top-20 market share since its December launch. Social media hummed with the ad; Liquid Deaths Instagram holds steady at 7.5 million followers with average posts nabbing 14k likes, per HypeAuditor, though growth dipped slightly last month. Older notes from NoGood recall their edgy X reposts of fan chaos, but nothing new in days. This Super Bowl repeat—after last years Safe for Work water push—cements Liquid Death as the punk-rock hydration king, blending wellness parody with viral gold.
