Liquid Death teamed up with organic supplement maker MaryRuth to create a limited-edition mineral water product, Sleep Like the Dead. As Liquid Death details, "MaryRuth's has added a little bit of Liquid Death Mountain Water to Liquid Nighttime Coconut Dream to turn it into Coconut Scream." With nutrients like magnesium, calcium, and Vitamin D, the supplement promotes a sense of calm and supports sleep as part of a restful nighttime routine.
In true Liquid Death fashion, the sleep-supporting mineral water is presented in a comedic, horror-themed light. While some people are disturbed by clowns, the new ad for Sleep Like the Dead shows fears being set aside and characters with big shoes, painted faces, and colorful wigs meeting their end in a sleeper's dream.
