[[K-fee commercials|In April of 2005]], German caffeine company [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_scare#In_advertising '''K-fee'''] released nine 20-second long television commercials as part of their ''Wide Awake'' campaign for their coffee drink. These commercials have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the adverts are very uncommercial and upsetting, though its shocking visual is built to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer.

You can help Screamer Wiki too by saving already existing screamers, shock sites, and videos to the Web Archive (https://archive.org/web/). If a screamer or shock site gets deleted, banned or removed, then there is a chance that we can retrieve it using the Wayback Machine.
You can also help {{SITENAME}} by saving already existing screamers, shock sites, and videos to the Internet Archive (https://web.archive.org/save). If a screamer or shock site gets deleted, banned, or removed, then it can still be viewed on the Wayback Machine.
