now this is what we consider skill.


in this video we join master illustrator, mcbess, effortlessly putting pen to paper (or mouse to screen, so to speak) as he goes about creating one of his painstakingly detailed designs.

now taking into account that we sometime struggle to even colour within the lines (hey before you pass judgement, bottles don’t have hands), we have to say we were pretty impressed…

 

if you’ve never heard of maru before, where’ve you been hiding?!

he’s a pretty big deal on the cat scene, famed for his innate skill of fitting snugly into almost any box.

but not this one.


it look like maru’s finally met his match, however he’s certainly not going down without a fight… oh well, can’t knock a cat for trying!

 

we’ve been aware for some time that the cat community has a plan in motion for world domination, and now it seems that adopting human attributes is the next step in their cunning plan!

however, we all need a bit of r&r sometimes, and nothing hits the spot like a hearty meal (except for a bottle of revive that is) after a long day of scheming and conspiring. it would seem that this hard working cat doesn’t waste anytime tucking in and putting his newfound dexterity to good use!

om-nom-nom-nom…

 

it’s astonishing the lengths some animals will go to in the name of some tasty treats.

this brave squirrel has taken a leaf out of tom cruise’s book a-la-mission impossible (theme music included), and risks life and limb to tackle this rather hazardous looking obstacle course in a spectacular fashion!

however like a true showman, he makes light work of the whole shabang and executes his mission effortlessly. all in a day’s work, eh?

 

call us old-fashioned, but all the advancements in technology have caught us unawares… first, we had the colour tv, shortly followed by hd – and now 360 degree interactive video hits the scene!

this breathtaking video transports you from your desk to the slopes in a few swift clicks, and has proved to be quite the distraction at vitaminwater hq! we’ve spent most of this midweek morning captivated by the click and drag panorama functionality, placing us slap bang in the middle of the beautiful scenery and the high octane action!

but why take our word for it? get your clicking finger at the ready and let us know what you think! 

trust us, it won’t get old for a while…


 

at first glance, this cuddly pair may be easy on the eye, and you may find yourself with an irresistible urge for a big ol’ hug!

that is, until you crank up the volume.

these guys have quite the set of pipes on them, producing a snore that can only replicated by, well, a pneumatic drill. and unfortunately for their owners, there isn’t a mute button for real life!

oh well, you win some, you lose some… earplugs, perhaps?

 

it’s wednesday and like clockwork, our nifty little helpers have once again delivered an awe inspiring piece of this week’s online viral action to our doorstep!

we have to say, this one caught us unawares. at first glance, it just seems like your average (or not so average) bowler hitting a series of clean strikes. but then disaster strikes (pun intended), and then well.. we’ll let you see the rest for yourself…

 

now we know it’s all too easy to get caught up in the new year festivities, but our arctic friends seem to have stepped proceedings up a notch!

giving pingu a run for his money for happiest penguin, this little guy throws caution to the wind and treats us to a no-holds-barred (and perhaps also a tad over the top) rendition of his rather eccentric happy dance, all to the age-old harmony of auld lang syne!

so raid your closets for your best dancing shoes, as you’ve heard it here first – we think this just might be the next best thing!

 

uh oh. it’s not been a great season for the cat community.

starting with this cat taking a rather unexpected leap of faith, their highly regarded status has found itself compromised with the emergence of bottle cat – and now reflection cat…

to be fair, this cat has her defensive feline instincts in the right place – agility, speed and perceptiveness. however, unfortunately for her, she misses one crucial trick… the cat she is trying to defend herself from is – herself. (in reflective form that is)

nonetheless, there is a silver lining in the midst of all this debacle, as the ton of extra entertainment only heightens our endearment for these loveable animals!

so on behalf of vitaminwater hq and humankind… cat community, we thank you!

 

brace yourselves for this one – this is one heck of a cute baby panda overload!

and your mission should you dare to press play… is to show these guys that we won’t simply succumb to their looks alone! yes that’s right, we challenge you to try and watch the troublesome twosome without so much as a swoon, gasp – or even the customary “ahhh”.

it’s a tough ask, but someone’s got to do it. vitaminwater hq haven’t fared so well on that part (most of us are still locked into a goody eyed daze) but we have the utmost faith in you!

so arm yourself with your steeliest stare, and show those cute pandas who’s boss! (or failing that, we won’t hold it against you if you decide to swoon your way right through to the new year!)
