When it's summer, everybody wants to be out enjoying the sun and this [interactive bus stop ad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lola-mullenlowe) by [Lipton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/komboomcha-box) is a brilliant way to help people cool off in the process. Lipton took over an entire bus stop, making it known as the 'Cool Down Stop,' with a panel on one side that encouraged people waiting to press it. By pressing the button, people on the street were lightly misted with cold water, giving them a refreshing break from the beating sun.

Although there images of Lipton products splashed all over the bus shelter, there are no physical drinks involved in the campaign. However, this is a really clever way to build association that [Lipton iced tea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lipton-fusions) equals summer refreshment when it's unbearably hot outside.
