I love the one from Drewfrog! Chilling on the freeway, sipping on his juice, and shooting a selfie at top speed on a skateboard. Wow!

He was gifted a truck, with the bed filled with Ocean Spray.
Cranberry Juice Drinking Star of Viral 'Dreams' TikTok Gets New Truck from Ocean Spray
There hasn't been a lot of what you'd call "feel-good news" this year. Just typing those words feels like trying to flex a muscle that has clearly atrophied from being under-used. But one of the undeniable (and long overdue) bright spots of the past few months is Nathan Apodacaaka @420doggface208the newly minted social media star who went viral after he posted a TikTok of himself casually riding his longboard, chugging Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice, and singing along with Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams."
He shared the video literally two minutes before he had to clock in for his job at an Idaho potato processing plant, and it's not an exaggeration to say that everything has changed for him since then. For starters, his original TikTok has been watched more than 26 million times (I honestly think I contributed, like, 50,000 of those views) and Fleetwood Mac co-founder Mick Fleetwood grabbed his own longboard and bottle of Ocean Spray and recreated Apodaca's clip. He's even been credited with sending "Dreams" to the No. 1 spot on the iTunes songs chart.
The reason that Apodaca even filmed the video is because his ailing Dodge Durango had broken down at a gas station and he didn't have time before his shift to get a jump-start. "I turned around, grabbed my board, because I always have my board, grabbed my juice I had with me and I just started going, he told the Post Register. (He also admitted that he almost deleted the video without posting it because he worried that he was skating too slow.)

In the Twitter thread, someone said that the fly was Pence's emotional support animal!
