I have never been able to figure out why Sprite, a sponsor of the NBA, insists on continually showing people playing playground basketball in their commercials. Have you ever taken part in a considerable amount of physical activity after downing a bottle of this carbonated lemon-lime beverage? If you have, you know what I'm talking about. If not, give it a shot. Odds are, minutes after you start you will kind of feel as if your stomach is attempting to wage war against the rest of your body. The feeling could probably be compared to having a string of blackcats exploding in your gut*... Good times.

If the commercials were interested in showcasing the truth, all of the
basketball players would double over due to stomach pain in the middle
of the game. Instead, the most recent commercial shows a pair of players jumping into each other, seemingly resulting in a strange chemical reaction that turns the players into a mist of Sprite droplets. Some might think this would alarm the players' teammates, leading to a halting of the game to alert the authorities. Instead, the players that have not dissolved into sugary liquid are quick to run over to be "refreshed" by these clouds of Sprite droplets... Yes, the droplets that resulted from the combustion of their friends.
Is Sprite endorsing cannibalism?
