Beverage brand Liquid Death is making a bold entrance into Super Bowl advertising with its new campaign.
Created in-house by the brand's Death Machine production team, "Safe for Work" leans into the familiar tropes of beer commercials, complete with a nostalgic tune that repeatedly chants, "Drink on the job."
But instead of alcohol, the brand’s lineup of mountain water, sparkling soda flavors, and iced tea takes center stage.

Marked by a 30-second spot, the latest initiative plays on the brand’s signature irreverence, showing professionals from all walks of life chugging cans on the job.
"In this context, everyone expects to see big-budget beer ads, and right off the bat, this looks like a beer ad. We’re educating people about the fact that this is actually a healthy beverage," Liquid Death VP of Creative Andy Pearson shared with ADWEEK.
The campaign arrives as Liquid Death continues to expand its product line and solidify its position as a disruptive force in the beverage industry.
Its rebellious brand identity continues to set it apart from traditional beverage companies, helping it carve out a unique space in the industry.
It’s Not a Beer Commercial
The ad opens with a '90s-style rock-and-roll jingle encouraging everyone to drink on the job, as an airplane pilot, a surgeon, a judge, and even a football referee follow suit, all enjoying Liquid Death while working.
As the catchy tune blares, workers across different professions enthusiastically crack open cans, reinforcing the idea that Liquid Death is safe for any setting, even on the job.
Police officers and school bus drivers chug their Liquid Death before doing duty, but the spot reminds us that it's completely safe to do, so as long as it's Liquid Death.

The over-the-top visuals and confident smiles suggest something more intoxicating — until the punchline lands: It’s just water and tea.
The Super Bowl buy builds on the brand’s history of viral marketing campaigns, following past ones that include:
- A collaboration with "The Boys" star Chace Crawford
- Auctioning a casket-shaped cooler
- A $30,000 NASCAR Giveaway
With its latest effort, the brand continues to blur the line between humor, shock value, and health-conscious messaging — proving once again that it knows how to keep audiences talking.
In other Super Bowl news, Little Caesars recently teamed up with "Schitt's Creek" star Eugene Levy to bring on the laughs on Game Day.
