As Black Friday has gone on year after year, the deals have dwindled and shoppers are vocal about them not being worth the hype—but Liquid Death introduced a one-off offer so irresistible, a $1 TV, that it sent a flood of traffic to its website.
The edgy canned water brand listed a 65″ 4K Smart TV on its online merch store, offering an unbeatable Black Friday deal for a TV with a retail value of $497, but the catch was that it was truly one of one. By design, this exclusive, deeply discounted deal put eyes on Liquid Death's site, and other products in stock, like its refreshing Mountain Water, soda-flavored sparkling beverages and iced tea drinks like Rest in Peach, as well as best-sellers and festive new product drops.
