Viral soda brand and streetwear label team up for the ultimate low-effort Halloween costume.

Viral soda brand and streetwear label team up for the ultimate low-effort Halloween costume. By News Room 14 October 2026 3 Mins Read Your favorite sweet treat meets your favorite hoodie: a match made in heaven. Better-for-you soda brand OLIPOP seems to be doing a little bit of everything lately. Beyond rolling out new flavors (hello, Pomegranate Sparkle), the brand has teamed up with Compartés Chocaltier on a holiday gift set - and now, it's adding streetwear to its impressive résumé. Just in time for Halloween, OLIPOP has teamed up with fashion label LONELY GHOST for a collaboration that makes putting together a costume almost too easy. The collection includes two midweight hoodies and a pair of sweatpants to complete the bed-rotting look. Everything is available in extended sizes and priced under $100. But don't wait up because select sizes are selling out fast. According to LONELY GHOST, the three new designs take inspiration from OLIPOP's limited-edition Caramel Apple flavor, blending crisp green apple and warm caramel tones with bubbly, vintage-inspired fall imagery. The finishing touch? Wholesome phrases like "It was always you from the moment we met" that also make these comfy sets a pretty easy choice for holiday gifting. Not to mention, these pieces are cozy enough to wear long after Halloween, all the way through fall and winter. The collection is made with French Terry Cotton and strikes that sweet spot between stylish and comfortable - think pieces you can rock on Oct. 31 or on a casual Sunday night on the couch. At its heart, the collaboration is all about familiarity: nostalgic feelings and finding new ways to enjoy the traditions Network Today love. And, if nothing more, these fits might just help you take the guesswork out of your Halloween planning. I mean, why not just go as your favorite soda? The black "Fall in Love" hoodie is equal parts sentimental and spooky, featuring bold orange and yellow lettering against a dark silhouette for a classic, cozy look. Finish off your spooky season suit with a matching pair of black sweatpants. A mix of green and orange screen printing, puff-print details and embroidery adds some dimension. Act fast: The Orange Costume Hoodie is almost sold out. Featuring embroidered graphics that give it a charming, handmade feel, it's the kind of playful piece your kids might want to steal from you.

Olipop launches toothpaste collab with Essor Group's Boka.

Olipop launches toothpaste collab with Essor Group's Boka. Probiotic soda Olipop is expanding into toothpaste as part of collaboration with Essor Group's Boka oral care brand. Pomegranate Sparkle n-Ha Toothpaste, flavored to taste like Olipop's latest pomegranate soda and featuring notes of pomegranate, passionfruit, lemon and vanilla flavors, launched October 14. "At Boka, we believe the best wellness routines are the ones you actually look forward to," Sarah Mountcastle Mitchell, Boka general manager, said. "Olipop has completely reimagined what a better-for-you soda can look and taste like, and we've taken a similar approach to oral care. This collaboration brings those two worlds together in a fun, unexpected way, turning an everyday routine into something that feels special for the holiday season." Probiotic toothpaste isn't unique to Olipop. It has been growing popular on the market and contains a lactic acid bacteria designed to reduce plaque build-up and maintain a neutral plaque pH balance while also reducing gum inflammation and bleeding. Olipop, which launched in 2018, has financial backing from J.P. Morgan Private Capital as well as the musical group The Jonas Brothers and actress Gwenyth Paltrow. Boka is a nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste that is free of fluoride, sulfates, parabens & artificial flavors & color. It was introduced in 2016.

"Now, Whirlpool is the first to bring that experience to your kitchen, seamlessly integrated into your refrigerator door. What better way to celebrate than by pouring a satisfying OLIPOP soda over those crunchy nuggets?"

How Goodwipes made a splash in the bathroom Business.

How Goodwipes made a splash in the bathroom Business. From butt puns to surprising partnerships, the flushable wipes brand has gained attention for its disruptive marketing strategy. 2 hours ago Goodwipes has never been shy about their mission to dethrone Big Toilet Paper. Founders Sam Nebel and Charlie Siciak started their efforts as "baby wipes evangelists" on the Florida State University campus back when wiping was taboo. At a Brandweek Brand Doing Cool Sh*t Experience session, Nebel and Goodwipes svp of marketing Meredith Diehn shared how the brand is using humor and non-traditional partnerships to continue disrupting the toilet paper industry. Recent Goodwipes collaborations have included a team-up with Liquid Death featuring limited-edition sCREAM Soda-scented wipes and a "Buttler Sweepstakes," where the winning customer gets a live-in butt-wiper. The tagline, "Death to Dry," gets at the brands' shared mission to hydrate (albeit in different ways). "Sometimes it doesn't necessarily make sense at first glance, and that's the whole point," Diehn said at the Brandweek session. "We want that little bit of shock value, and then when you peel back the layers you say 'oh wait, this actually does make a lot of sense.'" Partnerships like this, Diehn said, are meant to achieve two strategic objectives for the brand: fame and disruption. Goodwipe's campaigns, Diehn said, are created by a marketing team that includes three in-house creatives alongside outside agencies on bigger campaigns. In another campaign this year, Goodwipes approached Olipop for an April Fool's collaboration that ended up having a clearer through-line than expected. The campaign launched a limited-edition scent of wipes inspired by Olipop's Peaches & Cream flavor, with the tagline "Treat your butt as good as your gut." Given that the prebiotic soda brand emphasizes the importance of fiber in a healthy diet, the association with bathroom habits came naturally, Diehn said. Diehn also spoke about striking a balance between "crass" bathroom humor and clinical explanations of butt health. Getting people to change an everyday behavior is a challenge in itself, and talking about what happens in the bathroom adds another layer of taboo. "It's almost like the brand needs to rip [off] the Band-Aid and give the permission to have the conversation," and not just in private, Diehn said. In some cases, it's a matter of tapping into conversations that are already happening. Diehn pointed to "mini-moments," like the "hot girls have IBS" trend or runners pooping during races, where online communities have come together to talk about what happens in the bathroom, no holds barred. "We've found these little cohorts where we can speak authentically and have the conversations that are already being had, without trying to create a new one," Diehn said. The next major Goodwipes campaign will run around the holidays, reminding folks to stock up on bathroom essentials before company comes to visit. Andrea Michelson is the healthcare marketing reporter at ADWEEK. She previously covered the coronavirus pandemic for Business Insider and was part of the New York Times Covid mapping effort in 2020.
