The perfect blend of sweet and tart

Apple and Eve is a brand of juice which is quite extraordinary as you will soon find out.

Tiffany decided she needed more juice in her diet so she bought a box of tiny "apple and eve" juice boxes at Sam's club for - of course- a "GOOD DEAL." Ah- the juice was good- average anyway.... until one magical day....
Early in the morning I grabbed a juice box- apple, for yet another typical "nutritious breakfast" before a busy day. I arrived at work- being nearly the only one there at 7am sipping my juice as I went through my call list to sell some super websites.

I began to read the back of the apple juice box - as no one really does. The copy writing to me was actually pretty lame and really cheesy. Then I read it, "... the perfect blend of sweet and tart." I chuckled at the thought and continued my work. Then a few seconds later, I sipped a gulp of juice... then sipped again... then yet again! I realized.... THIS REALLY IS THE PERFECT BLEND OF SWEET AND TART!

From my advertising perspective, I was excited that because of their effective copy writing, "the perfect blend of sweet and tart" I then afterwards realized how good the juice was. If I never read that line- I would have kept drinking the juice thinking it was yet another cheap juice box. But it was so much more!

Thrilled at my new discovery, I turned back to the great juice box and read, "Please contact us- we love to respond." Well, all righty then! So I went to Apple and Eve's website, and contacted them through email. Here is what I said:

apple and eve-

My wife recently purchased your apple juice in a juice box H 228.

I'm in advertising/ business finishing up a bachelor's degree, and with the
# of projects I do in seeking research - I thought you'd appreciate a
comment.

I thought the juice was pretty good. Knowing my wife and her buying habits I
assumed it was a "cheap brand" that I never heard of before. The juice was
pretty good- the first couple juice boxes anyway. Then while at work, I was
reading the copywriting on the back of the box. A portion stuck out to me:
"We blend this juice with apple juice from a concentrate to achieve the
perfect balance of sweet and tart." I thought about it, and as I've been
drinking this apple juice- I realize that it really is a perfect blend of
sweet and tart!

It was AFTER I read that copywriting concept that I realized how good the
juice was. Because the text made me think about it- I went from "a cheap
brand" that tasted all right to "this really is the perfect blend!?"

Anyway- thought it was interesting that the text changed my perception and
helped to me to realize how good it was. From an advertising perspective-
I'd say that is a big clue to future promotion.

By the way- I'm looking for an internship or even a job after I graduate in
the Spring next year. I'd love to work for the brains behind a company that
has come up with such an effective, creative message on a simple juice box.

I'm attaching my resume- it's worth a shot.
