Lemon & Paeroa's new 'Best Day Ever' commercial tells the unlikely story of two strangers -- who also happen to be zombies -- having a day of fun after discovering an old can of 'Refreshingly Different' soda.

The video begins by showcasing a depressing city where all the occupants are walking around aimlessly. After finding the [Refreshingly Different beverage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rc-cola-campaign), uplifting music starts playing and the two friends begin bowling, dancing to music, playing ball, splashing in the water, and even having a pillow fight. The commerical ends with the two new friends scaring "normal" humans and high fiving.

Lemon & Paeroa hope these iconic and [unusual commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverage-campaign) will help set them apart "by putting a new spin on our long term Refreshingly Different platform."
