The soft drink “H2OH!” adopted a peculiar semiotic strategy to present its product. The brand assumes in phonetical and graphical terms the water formula, displacing it from thirdness to firstness, enabling it to generate, preferably, interpretants in a qualitative-suggestive scope. In this work, we present a semiotic analysis of the brand written on the beverage label, focusing on the interpretants of ten trichotomies.
