More About "BAD ACID":
BAD ACID is a wild exploration of the realm where ego, fitness and vanity collide.
This short film follows Sheila (Kate Hollowell), a self-obsessed aerobics fanatic who accidentally ingests some toxic hair gel while doing her usual morning workout to Aerobisexy vol. 14, transporting her into the world of Aerobics Cult Leader John Flexi (Bonavega). Will Sheila fall victim to chaos and be permanently indoctrinated into FLEXIVM, or did she just take some Bad Acid?
BAD ACID is the latest collaboration between director/producer Sam Fox and fashion/set designer Candice Molayem. The film is inspired by the upcoming collection from Animal Crackers Clothing, also named BAD ACID, and features wardrobe styling from the brand. Original high-energy disco track “FLEXIVM” by DJ Harvey scores the film. BAD ACID is a visual, psychedelic treat that will take you on an unforgettable trip.

And yeah, it's definitely a deliriant, not a psychedelic getting shown in the video. The former makes you see and perceive things that flat out aren't there, the latter just morphs your vision of things that ARE there.

I'm gonna assume the joke is that TaB already had the gross chemical taste from NutraSweet, so she didn't notice the taste of the stuff that was spilling into it. Although some people preferred the taste of TaB to Diet Coke. Then there's the tab of acid double entendre to go with the title. Or I'm over-thinking it.

Yeah the film is a bit anachronistic. Tab (the original Diet Coke) continued to exist into the 80s but is definitely something associated with the 70s whereas this is clearly supposed to be a spoof of the 80s.

The thing about acid is, you can't know if it will be bad or good. Just don't drink it when you feel bad, it could trigger something and turn into a horror experience. I don't like it's trip down my throat either. Oh and, if you mix with other acids, it could be bad too. Avoid the gag.
