Just a man, his skateboard and a bottle of Ocean Spray.
Nathan Apodaca became an overnight sensation after his TikTok video of him riding his skateboard down a highway while drinking Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice and then lip syncing Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” went viral. The video was reportedly taken after his car battery died and he had to get to work.

“Everybody always says ‘do more skating videos.’ … I just do me, basically,” he said to The Times. “And it puts smiles on faces. And that’s what makes me happy about it.”
And Ocean Spray is smiling, too.
According to Mae Karwowski, founder and chief executive of the influencer-marketing firm Obviously, told the Boston Globe she expects the brand will see a boost in sales now that it has been featured in a popular video.
