The Bubbler Light Box was developed for a Bud Light program, by Neon Source/P.O.P. Source and is ideal for the promotion of any carbonated beverage. It was developed to look like a freshly poured glass of draught beer. A mold was created from a pint glass or bottle and a special liquid solution combined with an air source makes the glass appear to bubble endlessly. A foam head is created at the top of the glass that looks amazingly real. Any color can be created from pilsners to stouts or even cola colors. The display is printed 4cp and is lighted with a fluorescent lighting system which also lights the bubbling glass. It may be used for draught promotions on a back bar, wall or for window signage.
