’90s Bombshell Helps Iconic Drink Make Triumphant Return originally appeared on Parade.
Remember that fizzy, fruit-flavored drink from your childhood—the one in the unmistakable glass bottle that felt like pure summer in a sip? I think I know just what you’re picturing. It was my favorite, too. The iconic Clearly Canadian is back, and it’s making a splash with the help of none other than Shania Twain, ’90s bombshell, country-pop icon and certified music legend.
In its first ad campaign in over 30 years, Clearly Canadian taps into full throwback magic. The ad stars Twain in all her glory, sprinting through misty wilderness, hair perfectly tousled, with the same energy she brought to every MTV video and magazine cover in the ‘90s. She’s basically a sparkling water Lara Croft, dodging trees and flipping through waterfalls to claim her prize: an ice-cold bottle of Wild Cherry sparkling water. When she finally grabs it, she grins and says what we’re all thinking—this is still the one.
It’s a clever nod to her hit song, sure, but it’s also a full-on celebration of millennial nostalgia. Because let’s be honest: Shania and Clearly Canadian both defined a certain kind of cool. And now, they’re back—sleek, sparkly, and somehow even better than we remember.
Shania says she grew up loving Clearly Canadian, so when the brand reached out, it was a no-brainer. When filming the hilarious ad, she did her own stunts and got to revisit her favorite flavors, which we think is proof that you can be glamorous and playful at the same time. Honestly, who else could pull off glam-action-hero-meets-beverage-commercial and make it so iconic?
Clearly Canadian’s comeback has been building for years. In 2017, a viral crowdfunding campaign helped revive the brand, selling over 40,000 cases in just a few months. Since then, they’ve made their way back onto store shelves across North America, now with both their classic glass bottles and new aluminum cans that are both made with recycled materials.
Behind this big return is the team at Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort, bringing their signature blend of humor and heart to the spot. The result is a perfect pairing: a sparkling drink that defined a decade, and a superstar who ruled it.
So yes, your favorite 90s drink is cool again. And with Shania Twain leading the charge, it’s clear: Clearly Canadian is officially having its bombshell comeback moment.
