Real or not, Charmin is jumping in to reward the player they have crowned the "MVPee" of the NBA playoffs. Hours after a viral video showed San Antonio Spurs rookie Carter Bryant using a public restroom at Paycom Center in full uniform, they offered him free toilet paper.
The brand announced on Instagram that they would like to send Bryant enough of its Forever Roll to last him through the end of the season. Charmin called it “the best FAST BREAK of the night,” and an “MVPee performance.”
But is the video real?
Well, in this day and age of AI, we really don’t know yet.
The video shows him in full uniform washing and drying his hands. The caption said “mid game btw.” It could be a fake, but it is also possible that Keith Hillary, whose TikTok bio identifies him as an artist at Almighty Ink in Oklahoma City, could have happened to have been standing in the restroom when the Spurs rookie walked in.
Charmin doesn’t need to confirm the video to jump on a fun marketing campaign.
They’ve done it with the NBA before. When Kobe Bryant called his Lakers’ teammates “soft like Charmin" during a 2012 practice, the brand fired back on social media within hours.
And they like viral trends.
When the Artemis II crew had toilet trouble in orbit earlier this year, Charmin offered them a year’s supply upon landing.
Carter Bryant, no relation to Kobe, played 10 minutes in the Spurs 122-113 loss. He didn’t score. He was minus-10, but apparently, he did wash his hands.
