Not so commonplace.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Liquid I.V.\u2019s 2026 Super Bowl debut, titled \u201cTake a Look,\u201d is a 30-second PSA featuring singing toilets and urinals performing a cover of Phil Collins\u2019 <em data-node-id=\"3.2\">Against All Odds<\/em>. The spot uses bathroom humor to highlight the need for proper hydration by encouraging viewers to check the color of their urine, positioning the electrolyte mix as the solution.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The fallout on X was swifter than, well, the flush of a toilet. \u201cWhat the f**k was that?!?!
