    Great gimmick, thanks OP for bringing this to our attention

    • +6

      too hard basket. sorry.

      • +1

        I reckon I could bargain them down to 3 bounces. Come on, where's the world cup ozbargain spirit!

      • +1

        Football, not basketball.

    • +2

      Get a free juice then make millions on the lawsuits

  • +1

    provide your own soccer ball?

    • +1

      Or someone's ball?

  • +30

    Can you teabag someone's head 5 times?

    • +3

      ok but I get to go first.

    • +16

      Haha why was this comment downvoted? Gave me a bit of a chuckle.

      • +1

        I thought it would :p

        Ozbargain seems to be no fun today.

    • Only if they are willing.

    • But then they get the free Boost

    • +4

      Technically they'd get the drink then.

    • Have you only got one ball? Go away Lance Armstrong, you're already on the juice.

  • Can a friend (maybe a slightly angry one) bounce the ball on my head? :)

    • +1

      You don't have any slightly angry friends. They are all very angry.

      • +1

        Good thing I keep my friends close. :)

  • +1

    Brazilians would be racking it in.

  • I'd love to do this during lunch but I don't really wanna bring a soccer ball to work.. but great deal!

  • +15

    Please use a bowling ball.

  • +2

    Too easy. My friends call me Tight "bounce ball on head six times" Bottom. You little ripper

  • If I go 2 balls at the same time, will it mean I only need to bounce them 3 times?

  • +2

    Good to see some ambush marketing from Boost.

    • +6

      Should boost their sales.

      Sorry.

  • +8

    Not sure how effective this marketing campaign will be for Boost, I would rather pay for a drink than do this.

    • +1

      Fail. The Boost Juice marketing team left out the picture of the girl sucking on 2 large ones.

  • Kmart sell fake size 5 soccerballs for 3 dollars, made of cheap plastic. Rebel have Umbro balls at $5 on sale, but think most places are sold out.

    • +18

      A true ozbargainer would buy the ball, do the challenge, drink the free drink and return the ball for a refund

  • Miniature football hacky sack OK? It fits in my pocket.

  • +2

    Been waiting for a day like this. Thanks OP
    Now I can use my soccer ball and …… my other 4 heads !

    • That's a worry, what have you been drinking? Or your mum when she carried you? :)

      • +4

        Boags or Cascade, depending on whether he's from Launceston or Hobart.

  • +2

    Bounce a ball on your head 5 times ..I assume this is in a row? Very unlikely there will be -any- regular boost customers who can do this.

    • +1

      Based on my local boost, i assume most can since most of there clients are teenages from private schools spending $10 on a unhealthy smoothie

      • wait what? $10?? Man you're getting ripped off! They're normally aprox $6.50 for an original (large) at the stores I go to. And, don't think they can be any more unhealthy then the other energy drinks kids consume. You know what, this has actual fruit in it!

        • +2

          You need to add wheatgrass shot, protein boost, immunity boost, etc. Price quickly up to $10. :)

  • +1

    make yourself look like an idiot to get a free drink.

    • +2

      But you know, even if nobody takes them up, their social marketing has worked in spreading the Boost name. Somebody reposted it here for example.

    • I guess bouncing a ball on your head is much better than the previous underpants-on-head deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/116529

  • +1

    Hat trick already. Burrrrrp.

  • -1

    I'm guessing bouncing your balls ;) on your head ;) ;) is allowed??? Flacid ofc.

  • +1

    I'd rather just put the undies on my head and run past the store imitating a streaker while screaming 'GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL'

  • +9

    There's always a crowd at my local Boost. I would have thought this was a bit dangerous on that basis, given the low probability of bouncing it successfully 5 times without needing to move sideways. Even the employees are in danger from an errant ball going over the counter at them.

    • +3

      This. Who comes up with such marketing ideas? How can employees stop stray balls from hitting themselves, their customers and endanger everyone else around them.
      But, maybe the stores will provide the balls. Who knows.

      • The ad specifically says "bounce your own soccer ball" so the stores won't provide them.

      • -2

        Anthonettext, you're a parking inspector by trade arernt you? #funpoliceonduty

    • My thoughts exactly.

    • +2

      it's a soccer ball man not a bowling ball.

    • +10

      Thinking about it more, perhaps the trick is to go to the Boost store at the end of the day, carrying a soccer ball. As you walk in, search for the employee who has one arm in a sling and appears to have the most facial bruises. Walk up to them pretending to be a little drunk, with a slightly weaving gait and slurring your words, then say "well, I'm not very good at this trick but I'll give it a go anyway".

      With luck, they'll shriek in terror at the thought of one more soccer ball to the face and just make you a free Boost to leave without bouncing the ball… :-)

      • This! I think I'll do this.

    • +3

      I am just imagining the ball hurtling to the kitchen after one successful bounce and knocking over all the blenders in a domino effect. This will not end well…

  • Just go around and kick some balls 5 times could also work.

  • +4

    Construct very tall circular perspex tubing attached to head to keep soccer ball from bouncing off head, have friend with step ladder drop ball onto head, bound 5 time (or more), success?

    • +7

      I would pay to see this. +1

    • +1

      Go for it, I reckon the resulting YouTube video that you'll have to live down will be worth more to Boost than the drink :).

    • -1

      "Chief, I insist that we use the Cone of Silence!"

  • +3

    Free boost juice coming my way all day long.

  • +7

    The people working there will hate this! Could you imagine how many errand balls will go flying in to their work area? This is just asking for an employee to be hit in the face with a ball or have a bunch of smoothies knocked over.

    • +4

      Yep after my 5th bounce I am aiming for their smoothie machines

  • +15

    … A TRUE ozbargainer sits out the front renting soccer balls!

  • +3

    Technically, Ms Boost, it's Football not soccer. Shoddy marketing…ha

    • Except we live in Australia, football here is AFL or NRL depending on where you live.

      It's soccer.

      • +2

        Wrong. The governing body is the Football Federation Australia (FFA), has been for 10yrs, prior to that it was called soccer here which is why the socceroos name has carried over.

    • -3

      Uh no it's Soccer in this country, not football. And before you refute, why is our Australian team called the Socceroos then huh?

      • because… they…. are football playing kangaroos?

        • Then…… they'd be called….. the footballroos…..?

      • -1

        So, what did Australia call it at the Sydney 2000 Olympics?

        "Football"

        • That's because on a world stage, which the Olympics is, it's known as football. Domestically however, it's soccer.

        • No, because as a sport, it is known as Football. Domestically it is known as Football. Football Federation Australia (or FFA) is the governing body in Australia.

  • -5

    More like a game of skill than a bargain.

    • +3

      booooooooooooooooo

      • +5

        boo-urns

        • -1

          …I was saying 'The Land of Smeg'

  • -3

    The question is which 'balls' and which 'head'? How strange, bounce the balls and get the juice.

  • +1

    bouncing it 5 times is pretty hard

  • For the hardcores, use a bowling ball

    • +1

      For the really hardcores, use a brick

  • These guys have some of the craziest marketers. I like the one where you had to wear your underwear over your head for a free boost.

  • +10

    Use ING Direct Paywave for only 4.75 bounces

  • +5

    These promotions are cringeworthy.

    Before they give the treat, do they say "gooood booooy"?

  • +3

    Just did it at T2 Domestic Airport with 7 bounces! The guy I spoke to (who I assume was the store manager) didn't realise it was on today. I guess no one else would've done it at this store.

    Got my free drink thanks OP!
