Aqualad Week - Continued!

sg















Thanks to the generous contributions of F.O.A.M. member Russell Burbage, we can continue Aqualad Week with some gorgeous Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez stock art featuring Aqualad and the rest of the Aqua-Family! Not sure what this piece was/would've been used for, but it sure is nice lookin'!

A few weeks ago I posted this Aquaman soda can that hailed from Saudi Arabia. Not being able to read it, I had no idea what the back of the can said (perhaps "Behold--the greatest superhero of all time!").

I was requested to post better pics of both sides of the can, since perhaps some intrepid Aquaman fan might be able to translate and solve this Aqua-Mystery! So here they are!

    My wife says it reads:

    "Orange Miranda"

    I assume the name of the drink brand is Miranda and the flavor would be orange. I wonder if other DC heroes had different flavors.

    Anyway, I hope this helps.

    Weird...I just did some ad work for a product called "Mirinda" that is coming over from asia and is trying to make it in the states.

    No Aquaman on the stuff I did though :(

    "Miranda" was also the name of an orange soda-pop drink on sale in Japan. I never saw anything with Aquaman on it, though...or any of the Super Friends, for that matter.
