BevBlog: New energy drink with Pro Poker ties…uhh

Drops, drips, and leaks from the beverage industry.

Unlike most American men in my demographic, I don’t like poker.  I also don’t really like the artificial hype that surrounds new energy drink launches….I guess that’s what happens after you’ve been pitched “the next Red Bull” about a million times.

Anyway, check out the “media alert” below and maybe you’ll understand what I mean.  In their defense, we have not tried this product…and to be clear, I’m not passing judgement on the product — just the pitch behind it.  It’s amazing that after the 1000+ products that have entered this market, the pitches always contain the same things.
