Cred

From South Park Archives
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Cred is a sports drink brand appearing in South Park (Not Suitable For Children). Though it is drunk by every kid in South Park (and likely all of America) and appears to be super popular, certain dialogue implies that the drinks are not even all that good, and that kids are only drinking and putting so much importance on them because they are being peddled and advertised by all of their favorite influencers (such as LoganLeDouche) and they do not want to be left out and seen as "uncool".

Clyde Donovan feels like an outcast during this special as his parents do not allow him to have it which drives him to bringing fake Cred to school. However, it is eventually revealed that his stepmother Janice was responsible, at least in some small part, for the creation and distribution of Cred, as well as paying influencers to peddle and advertise it, because she wanted to try and reach Clyde and positively influence him as a mother, but felt that she couldn’t do it face to face because being a stepmother meant that she was not his "real mother".

The song "I Got Cred, Bitches" revolves around the drink.

Trivia

  • Cred is a reference to the real-life drink brand Prime, sharing a very similar design.
  • The term "Cred" is a slang standing for being believable and creditable.
  • The Watermelon Strawberry Flavor has two separate bottle designs: one is solid light pink, and the other is magenta and dark green.
  • Promotions showing the boys and Butters advertising the drink were shown at public spaces and online before the special released.[1]
  • The Butters promotion poster advertising the drink was mostly used as the cover of the special in streaming services
