As I was on my way to pick up my lunch today, I stopped at 7-Eleven for a beverage. Not in the mood for a typical Gatorade or Cherry Coke, I found myself stumbling down to the teas when, BAM!, I see SODA SHAQ, a brand new cream soda line by
AriZona Beverages featuring Shaquille O’Neal. Not being able to resist, I bought one and began to think about other recent celebrity endorsements that seem bizarre or random. Here’s a list of some celebrities seemingly willing to throw their name out there for just about anything.
Armando Christian Perez, aka Pitbull
With a successful career and a plethora of endorsements from Bud Light to Dr. Pepper, RapperPitbull is no stranger to the limelight. In a recent move, the entertainer became an equity partner with
Miami Subs Grill franchise.
Peyton Manning
One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Peyton Manning is definitely not afraid to put his name and face out in the public sphere. According to Forbes.com, Peyton Manning makes $12 million a year from endorsements. With an endorsement list including Papa John's, Buick, Wheaties, DirecTV, Reebok and Gatorade, there’s no shortage of Manning and said opportunities.
Taylor Swift
Whether you love Taylor Swift or not, there’s no denying she is quickly becoming a coveted celebrity for endorsements. Her cult-like following is leading consumer powerhouses such as CoverGirl and Diet Coke to quickly line up to work with America’s sweetheart.
Shaquille O’Neal
We’re pretty sure Shaq doesn’t actually fit in a midsized Buick LaCrosse, but that definitely doesn’t stop him from the endorsement! With one of the widest ranges of endorsements throughout his career, from Gold Bond to VitaminWater, Shaq dominates, not to mention SODA SHAQ. It’s a big can, he’s a big man. End of story.
