Really The Only Way To Advertise An Energy Drink Called “Pu**y”

“The drink’s pure, it’s your mind that’s the problem,” is the new tagline for the British energy drink with the unfortunate name Pussy. Yup. That’s really the name. Which doesn’t leave many options in terms of advertising campaigns. I think this one is a winner. The drink’s inventor, Jonnie Shearer, claims he came up with the idea for the “cunningly delicious” drink over a decade ago while living with his parents and deciding what to do with his life after graduating college.  He says was inspired by Richard Branson’s Virgin brand. Shearer hopes the new ad campaign will get Pussy the popularity it deserves. Pussy, the drink, that is. The other kind of pussy is already killing it in the popularity department. [Ad Week]

As you can probably tell, it has been quite a stressful week here at Frisky HQ. Thanks to a hard drive fire (seriously, a fire!), our admin capabilities has been wavering between being totally broken and pretending to be fixed long enough to let us work for a few hours and then delete everything we did. I knew this week’s project needed to be of the alcoholic variety, but when I found a recipe for vodka cupcakes (let me just say that again: VODKA! CUPCAKES!), I thought, “Damn, even better!” Let’s all whip up a batch of boozy baked goods and forget our troubles. At least until Monday. [The Baking Robot]

Vanilla bean donuts and vanilla coconut popsicles? Yes, please! [$23, Modcloth]
