Perrier hits hard by advertising Perrier Fluo in a rather ambiguous context, which remind us the Cold War.

In this ad called "The Melting", Perrier shows a so hot world that the entire city is melting.

It is in the same spirit as "The Melting" that this video "The Drop" shows that a French mission was launched in order to "fight against" the heat directly from the sun, and the ultimate weapon used is simply contained in a bottle of Perrier.   


As you can see, It is demonstrated that a modern brand owes nothing to the constant change of its design but rather as Perrier does a creative management that keeps in the news.
