There is now sparkling water that comes with an abstract NFT and connected points.
Brands – a crypto startup of the traders known on X as OSF (Ovie Faruq) and Rektmando on social media – have launched a new drink. It is a sparkling water dubbed abstract apple.
As the name suggests, abstract Apple offers rewards for the Ethereum L2 chain Abstract. Any case of 24 cans grants the buyer abstract XP and 25,000 drone points (Rekt’s Rewards points), plus an abstract NFT. Next week Case buyers can collect their abstract NFTs.
Each case costs $ 69.69 (plus shipping and appropriate load, of course), and can be purchased using crypto or fiat currencies.
Buyers can buy a maximum of 250 suitcases per order, but can place multiple orders.
Those are many cans.

While the launch was sold out on Wednesday, with more than 220,000 cans of sparkling water, the stretch team said that extra drink points were accidentally published.
“Devs are on it, will get it solved,” the brand said in a post.
A member of the abstract team confirmed that they are not involved in this project, but they said that future collaborations between stretching and abstract are being investigated.
The first drink from Rekt Brands, a sparkling water with lime flavor, was announced in November and sold more than 220,000 cans in the same way within 48 hours.
Earlier last year, Brands raised $ 1.5 million in sowing financing. Their brand was made after the NFT collection of 2022 OSF, called Rektguy.
Others have previously tried to bring crypto to the food and drink industry, although the efforts so far come mainly from holders of bored monkey hunting club NFTs. For example, there is monkey water, which is canned water with a bored monkey that is decorated about it. In 2023, Snoop Dogg had freely inspired by his bored monkey.
There was also a short -lived bored hamburger tent with aapthema, bored and hungry, which I visited in 2022 (food was good, but most people there had zero idea what the monkeys were and did not arrange).
In the case of stretching brands, the limited edition of sparkling water that you only hear on Crypto Twitter is not on the masses focused on his but wider distribution.
Stretch plans to release new flavors and also to bring older back into future drops. It can also expand further than just sparkling water.
“Our goal is to have a mainstream distribution and we have actively worked on it in recent months.
