The Evolution Fresh x Bretman Rock collaboration debuted on August 18 in Los Angeles with a promotional activation called the 'Soda-Powered Car Wash.' Developed with creative agency BSSP, the event was designed to raise awareness about the ingredients commonly found in traditional sodas while positioning Evolution Fresh’s 'Real Fruit Soda' as a more health-conscious alternative.
The car wash "employed a cleaning solution made with phosphoric acid—an additive known for removing grime and rust and also present in many sodas—underscoring the contrast between conventional soft drinks and the brand’s functional offering."
As vehicles underwent the cleaning process, attendees sampled Real Fruit Soda and gathered in a lounge space hosted by Rock, styled as a 'fruit oasis' inspired by the beverages’ USDA Certified Organic fruit. The sodas are formulated with "real squeezed fruit, contain no added sugar or artificial ingredients, provide prebiotic fiber to support gut health, and are low in calories."
