Dublin traffic just got weirder with Texas-born BuzzBallz driving around as giant cans and causing some laughs – call that canned laughter.
Starting as a master’s degree thesis project, the ball-shaped cocktails very quickly gained fame in their native Texas before going international, making them the drink of the summer.
You’re likely to find a Buzzball in an ice box at a BBQ or poolside at a party in the sun, but you probably weren’t expecting to see human-sized cans on wheels driving around in the traffic of Ireland’s capital on a dreary day.
This marketing tactic has already drawn plenty of attention online and will definitely help to establish Buzzballz as a brand in Ireland as well as wider Europe.

Texas-born BuzzBallz spotted driving around in Dublin traffic
If you’ve been anywhere this summer, you’ve probably seen colorful cocktails in ball-shaped plastic cans hanging around, the flagship beverage of Texas-born BuzzBallz, but they’re hitting the streets in the best way possible.
The small but mighty cocktail very quickly spread in popularity from Texas, where they began as a master’s thesis project, and have now gone worldwide, often featuring in many people’s summer Instagram dumps.
Now, the cocktail has gone to Dublin in Ireland, but in a very different form than we are used to.
Human-sized, round-looking BuzzBallz cans on wheels were spotted being delivered on a truck, and the cocktail cars were seen cruising around in Dublin traffic.
Get in the BuzzBall, there’s no time to explain
While we don’t quite know what the purpose of the Buzzballz cars is, apart from getting the brand in the forefront of people’s minds, the little round cars sure do look funny.
The two ‘flavors’ of BuzzBallz car spotted driving around were Chili Mango and Forbidden Apple, two of the most iconic flavors from the brand.
We love a car/completely unrelated brand collaboration, but this one has us particularly buzzed.
We assume that the drivers inside the humongous cocktails were having a ball.
