TAMPA, Fla. and STAMFORD, Conn., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Splash Refresher™ is bringing the sparkle to hydration with today's launch of its new "Besties" campaign, featuring Hollywood's favorite comedic duo, and real-life BFFs, Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson. In celebration of the launch of Splash Refresher™ Sparkling Beverage, a brand-new line of lightly sweet, bold, bubbly hydration with zero sugar and full flavor, "Besties" pays tribute to the power of female friendship wrapped in the actresses' signature humor. Because what's better than a best friend? A best friend who shares a Splash Refresher™, whether it be still or sparkling!

When Your Taste Buds Want Something More

The campaign launches today with a national 30-second spot that showcases Anna and Rebel's real-life chemistry, candid humor, and authenticity to introduce Splash Refresher™ to those seeking a more flavorful way of staying hydrated.

When Americans seek to reduce their sugar intake, Splash Refresher™ Sparkling is hydration's new, healthy glow-up. Through a series of playful and witty content, the duo is bringing to life the joy of friendship and the excitement of discovering a refreshing, sparkling alternative to plain water.

"When I first tried Splash Refresher^™ Sparkling Beverage, I was like, 'Wait. Why does this feel like a holiday in my mouth?'" said Rebel Wilson. "It's bubbly, it's fun, and suddenly I'm the most hydrated I've ever been. Plus, getting to do this campaign with my bestie? Yes please. We basically turned drinking flavored water into a party."

Anna Kendrick echoed the excitement, adding, "We've been making each other laugh for years, and now we get to bring that same energy to something that makes hydration fun, like Splash Refresher™ – because plain water just does not reflect our personalities. It's a win-win." 

Exciting Flavors on Shelves Nationwide 

With four crave-worthy flavors on shelves now nationwide, Splash Refresher™ Sparkling Beverage is sparkling water that isn't watered down. The lineup of Splash Refresher™ Sparkling Beverage is a hydration upgrade that doesn't skimp on taste including:

• Kiwi Watermelon: New Kiwi Watermelon flavored Sparkling Splash Refresher^TM combines the tart essence of kiwi with the juicy sweetness of watermelon in every bubbly sip.
• Rocket Freeze: Introducing Rocket Freeze Sparkling Splash Refresher^TM. Cool layers of blue raspberry, cherry, and lime flavors deliver a nostalgic blast of flavor in every effervescent sip.
• Blood Orange: Experience the delightful tang of Blood Orange flavored Sparkling Splash Refresher^TM - a fusion of citrus brightness and subtle sweetness that invigorates with every sip.
• Black Cherry: Our Black Cherry flavored Sparkling Splash Refresher^TM pops bright cherry notes with a hint of zero calories sweetness, creating a refreshing drink perfect for any moment.

Each flavor is made with zero sugar, zero calories and zero colors.

The launch marks a major step for the brand as it expands its lineup to include both still and sparkling options, giving consumers the ultimate choice in hydration. 

"Splash Refresher™ has been bringing flavorful hydration to the market for years. Now we're bringing an even more fun experience to our fans with our new sparkling offerings," said Kheri Tillman, Chief Marketing Officer, Primo Brands.
