The popularity of 2 Girls 1 Cup was aided by a series of reaction videos; that is, videos depicting people reacting to watching it.[12] Many videos exist on YouTube of users showing the original video (off-camera) to their friends and filming their reactions, although some may be staged.[3][4][12] Even Joe Rogan, host of Fear Factor, a show notorious for the disgusting things its contestants are dared to eat, had to turn away in a reaction video posted to his blog.[13] A reaction video starring a Kermit the Frog puppet proved very popular on the community-based website Digg.[14]
Veteran porn star Ron Jeremy walked off while watching the video on The Playhouse.[17] On the same program, singer Wyclef Jean sat through the whole thing without looking away or showing any apparent reaction, all while eating corn on the cob.[18] Ace Frehley, formerly of Kiss, was shown the video on The Opie and Anthony Show in July 2009, and was unfazed, declaring, "Crazier things than that have happened on the road."[19] "Genuine Nerd" Toby Radloff was so disgusted by the clip that he had to immediately watch it again.[20]
Watch Two Girls 1 Cup
The Coca-Cola Company referenced the video in a 2010 promotional campaign for Dr Pepper on Facebook. The promotion, which was open to minors,[33] allowed Facebook users to let Dr Pepper publish embarrassing status updates on their profiles in exchange for a chance to win $1,000. One of the possible status updates was "I watched 2 girls one cup and felt hungry afterwards".[34] Jim Edwards of BNET said that Coca-Cola has full responsibility for allowing the situation to occur, arguing that Coca-Cola selected an advertising agency that openly advertised "profane" advertising campaigns and that the Coca-Cola executive who approved the 2 Girls 1 Cup line failed to do research on what the name meant.[34] The Coca-Cola Company later terminated its relationship with the digital marketing agency responsible for the campaign.[34][35]
The most telling part of Coca-Cola (KO)'s cancellation of its Dr Pepper Facebook promotion is that the company admitted it signed off on the text of the campaign without knowing what "2 girls one cup" actually means. Coke is an old company and Facebook is a new trend: What happened here is the marketing equivalent of parents trying to show their teenage offspring that they're trendy too, with all the awkwardness that implies.
To recap: Dr Pepper invited Facebook users to allow it to take over their status updates in return for a chance to win $1,000. LMFM then posted embarrassing messages such as "What's wrong with peeing in the shower?" (Why Coke would allow its brand to be associated with urine, even in jest, is a whole other case study. The point here is that Coke got a heads-up to the increasingly juvenile direction of the campaign.) One of the status updates was, "I watched 2 girls one cup and felt hungry afterwards."
After a child's second birthday, the rate of growth slows. Two-year-olds are very active and begin to lose the look of a baby. While all children may grow at a different rate, the following is the average for 2-year-old boys and girls:
Speech development is very exciting for parents as they watch their children become social beings who can interact with others. Speech at this age is becoming clearer and the child starts to form sentences. Every child develops speech at his or her own rate. But these are some of the common milestones most children reach in this age group: 2ff7e9595c
