Tangentially related-
Took a film class in high school and it was just a joke- I had interest in the subject, but the teacher and curriculum were awful and allowed me to screw about, so I did. Immature me. Anyways, one of the assignments was to film an advertisement for some nonsense product you'd made up. My buddy and I decided that "purp drank," a Gatorade alternative, would be perfect, and we proceeded to make our advert 30 seconds of my friend just screaming purp drank and intermixing it into random dialogue- "my girlfriend dumped me.. for purp drank." "My parents are divorcing.. I don't know who gets the purp drank."
Anyways, I hand this crap project in and I got a C- because the teacher didn't think I took it seriously. Which, y'know, accurate- but I asked about the names of other students' products. He could name 1 or 2, but beyond that he was at a loss. I then asked about my product. "Purp drank" he muttered, looking away.
Screw Becky's Doggone cute dog sweaters, my nonsense led to brand recognition in only 30 seconds. **** off, that's an A.
..and that was my film career.
