SoBe Elixir Oddworld advertisements + in-game product placement

Note: looking for more information and screenshots of the SoBe tie-in with Oddworld if anyone knows anything more about it let me know!

Ps. I think I might've found a copy of Munch's Oddysee that has the SoBe advertising left in tact? I'll have to see if I can load it up on my Xbox and have the disk run properly

i am haunted by images of things that used to be

La verità

Aqui estou Sentindo um nada Dentro dos ofícios mentais Tudo vai e volta Tudo sobe e tudo desce Derepentemente, Esta coisa que se sucede, Num momento exato, Sinto tomar conta de mim É o êxtase, o elixir desta minha existência Nada posso contra minha existência Se não posso, não devo Se não devo, não quero E o que eu não quero, fixo está Como tudo que observo Nesta minha breve existência

There were years where I constantly thought about the lizard milk. Like i reminisced on it and asked friends if they remember sobe elixirs and how amazing they were and NOBODY DID. For YEARS AND YEARS I felt INSANE like I was imagining something. Before remembering the exact name I distinctly remember having to search deep on the internet to find proof of their existence and what they were called. And then. Like a year ago. I started seeing posts like this pop up. The validation of my nostalgia for the lizard milk came pouring in and I wasnt treated like I was speaking crazy anymore. Suddenly EEEEEEVERYONE remembers sobe elixirs. I see how it is. I will remember this. I will remember how I went "remember sobe elixirs? Remember the lizard drinks? Now all they have are the waters which arent nearly as good. I miss them so much i want them back" and everyone went "what are you talking about? I never drank that. You're crazy". This is my villain arc. All who invalidated my memory of this pure and holy beverage will pay. I am coming for you

1) the Snapple elements drinks first came out in 1999 and were discontinued in the mid-2000s. They started bringing them back in 2022.

2) #...I swear there were weird elemental beverages in my childhood #maybe they were the lizard milk? #I'm not sure

Yeah babe you're definitely thinking of Sobe. I'm p sure they had some elemental ones, PLUS they had a line called "Sobe Elixirs"

since when did snapple start dabbling in elemental elixirs

I always like discussions about how class, socioeconomic status, and cultural influence how we exist and operate in the larger society, but . . .

Why do *y'all* think Joong is messy?

Because I think he is normal young people messy. Like when I say I want more messy male friendships, this is what I mean.

When I write "let boys be boys," this is what I mean.

So what if Joong pinned the "hating fake people" post and wore that shirt? When I was a youth, I was using Taking Back Sunday lyrics as away messages on AOL

~*~*~The truth is you could slit my throat and with my one last gasping breath, I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt~*~*~

And I was probably just upset that I was out of Pepsi Blue or SoBe Elixir, so I'm going to let that man feel his feels.

But I'm not going to pretend to be a better person because I really want to know what went down between Joong and Est that has caused all these ripples. However, in comparison to the hijinks the gen x-ers and millennials were up to with our cryptic social media posts, I feel like Joong's social media behavior is pretty tame, so I have no comments about messiness because I, a person with a mortgage, a stable career, and a retirement plan, am still very messy every single day on Tumblr dot com.

x_x it's a damn cold night trying to figure out this life x_x

Forgive me for this ramble, but If I could put my TMZ hat on for a second ... while we have no idea what the issue is/was between Joong and Est, I wonder if class disparity might play a part? I've noticed that quite a few actors in the Thai BL space, especially at GMMTV, seem to come from wealthy backgrounds. Just off the top of my head at GMM there is Off, Tay, Win, Bright, Pond, Phuwin, Dunk, and Boun. While not at gmm I can think of Mile, Billkin, Mew, Tul, Ta, Nut ...etc. You can even see it in the kpop industry with Minnie, Ten, and Nichkhun.

Now while I haven't read anything indicating Est's, or for that matter Daou and Offroad's wealth status, it does make me wonder. Perhaps @respectthepetty might have more insight. However, from what I have read about Joong, his bio-father died when he was young, his mother remarried a Turkish man, and they moved to Turkey where his half-siblings were born and then his step-father died. Joong finally worked to make enough money to buy a house and moved his family into the house in Thailand. I am not sure if his mother works, but if she doesn't then he would be the sole breadwinner of the family.

Now while being wealthy doesn't make one a bad person, there might be some ignorant mindsets, hyper-consumerism, image maintenance, and thoughtlessness that could could clash with people that don't have the financial freedom or free-time to spend as they like because they have people dependent on them.

Considering Joong is really big on his family, and he most likely had to grow up faster than others due to the circumstances of his life, I wonder if he is just has a lot more to consider in his life, while the others are able to just be young?

I really can't tell if he is the messy kind of person that constantly posts cryptic things for attention but never wants to talk about it (or in this case cant because he is a celeb), or if he is actually just being a little too real for a celeb, while the others are following their PR to a "T."

If wealth disparity is playing a part, this could compound the Dunk issue aside him being caught between fighting friends, because Dunk also comes from a wealthy family.

This is highly speculative BUT is an angle I haven't seen discussed.

Thanks for the note, @simysaru43! Tagging Sis @respectthepetty for thoughts.

It’s been gently speculated that wealth and family connections may have played a part (besides Ohm’s 2023 controversy) in the break-up of OhmNanon, considering Nanon’s nepo baby status. And Chimon Wachirawit has been public over the years about the huge financial burdens caused by his family’s debt that essentially led to him needing to find entertainment work in Series Y; as we know now, he has been working through mental health issues over the past year and likely his young adult life. (There was this very impactful video that I saw on Twitter last year, I wish I could find it, with Chimon being interviewed in front of his family’s house that had once been repossessed. Very tough to watch.)

Anyway, you may and even likely have a point. A lot of these guys — Chimon, Earth, Nanon — have been relatively open about their depression, and very often it’s financial burdens and stress that can trigger omnipresent mental health issues. Joong’s been pretty messy online. These are otherwise highly trained entertainers who are trained to not be so messy publicly. Something could be behind whatever’s driving Joong’s messiness, and it could very well be class disparities and how they’re expressed in the young Thai upper-class society that these guys roll in.

Any thoughts from your circles, @respectthepetty?

Fun fact: The flavor of SoBe called "Tsunami" was originally flavored like orange cream, but the name was later applied to a strawberry daiquiri flavored drink!
