Hydration has never looked so hot.

“Best AD I’ve ever watched 😍.” That’s the general consensus across TikTok and Instagram, where Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen’s campaign with Agua de Kefir has fans spiraling—and sprinting to the nearest Sprouts.

The video has already racked up hundreds of thousands of views across social media, and it’s been less than a week. A second wave of content is set to drop just in time for the Love Island USA reunion on August 25. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you, Agua de Kefir.

In the playful new clip, Carthen lounges poolside in a lemon yellow bikini and rings a bell with dramatic flair. Vansteenberghe, playing the world’s thirstiest (and most shirtless) waiter, dives into the pool before emerging in slow motion, glistening and ab-flashing. “Careful out there today, folks,” a voiceover warns. “It’s going to be a scorcher. Stay hydrated. Stay thirsty.”

Carthen delivers her line with the same charm that won hearts on national TV this summer. “I’m thirsty and so dehydrated. I need something with taste, something with bubbles, something that can handle my thirst: Agua de Kefir.” She takes a sip, Nic climbs on top of her, and an epic kiss—reminiscent of their unforgettable Soul Ties daybed moment on the show—unfolds.

Cue the fan frenzy

“The scream I just yelled at that kiss ahhhhhhhhhhhh 😍😍😍,” one fan commented.

“Just kicked my feet and giggled like a little kid, y’all are the hottest couple ever. I’M IN HEAT,” another gushed.

“I’m ONLY getting this drink because of them 🤷🏽‍♀️,” one commenter admitted.

“I have been effectively influenced,” another agreed.

The virality comes fresh off the heels of Nicolandria’s other iconic influencer moment: the Kulani Kinis x Nic Edit. That dreamy, beachside collab featuring his new boo marked Vansteenberghe’s official design debut with his longtime favorite swimwear label.

Their off-screen chemistry only enhances the on-screen magic. The power couple met during Season 7 of Love Island USA, where they didn’t immediately couple up. Each explored other connections in the early episodes, but their flirty friendship and emotional openness quickly set them apart. By the time they locked in, “Nicolandria” had already taken over social media. Since leaving the villa, they’ve been inseparable—sharing silly moments, glam photoshoots and real relationship highs online.

Inside the campaign—and their connection

Now, they’re leveling up again—this time with a brand rooted in hydration and health. Agua de Kefir, a lightly sparkling tonic crafted with cactus-grown kefir crystals, delivers naturally occurring electrolytes and postbiotics for recovery, gut health and major vibes. Fan-favorite flavors include Guava Paloma, Peach Piña, Orange Peach Mango and Dragon Fruit Fresa. You can snag bottles at Target, Trader Joe’s and Sprouts.

But if you’re asking fans the real reason they’re buying? It’s definitely the steamy poolside PDA, the abs and the fact that Nicolandria could them sell air if they wanted to.

“I’m too old to be this obsessed with y’all 😫,” one user wrote.

“This is my favorite short film,” someone else added.

“My jaw is sitting nicely on the floor,” another fan declared.
