OK here it goes with all the knowledgeable input and words of wisdom over the years from the local group here on the bevnet. I propose a challenge to build the perfect beverage.

What would it be?
Name?
Ingredients?
Package?
Distribution?
Marketing angle?

It is far to easy for us to sit back and criticize other companies even though it is a lot of fun. Lets take our experience and put it to task.

What do you think?

What would it be? - Energy drink
Name? - AfriPoosie or Sum-Cola
Ingredients? - Carbonated water, caffeine, pure cane sugar,natural flavors.
Package? - Glass

Oh yeah... someone sure loves Afri-Cola! I always say it's a Gute Fahrt on the Effervescence Superhighway!!!

Well actually there is no "perfect beverage". But I have loads of fun dabbling with ideas such as LENINADE and many others. A little of this, a little of that; nothing from the Red Crew or Big Blue and at least it is fun and refreshing, eh Chief Long Neck?

Just trying to put some zip into this life less bevboard of late?

If any one has a better suggestion lets hear it.

As the late great S.E. Rykoff used to say, "It's Better With Butter" !!!

Well, how about a delicious Cool Mountain Blue Razz... good stuff!

Man I'm so busy pushing sodas around town that I'm just too tired to be creative tonight... and I'm not going to drink Bent Dog or Sharp Cat Toenails or whatever dingy energy drink is coming out this week!! Just a delicious brew from Orkney Island will hit the spot tonight!

My soda of creation would be a old style cane sugar soda or a completly unsweeted cola in a thick glass bottle so that if the big 2 still want to crimp on cash they can leave it up to us to put what we want to use to make it sweet and not feel like we are drinking kero cola with no choice in lower 48.As for the bottle we can wish.

Given my liberal/libertarian political views, here's a drink that I've wanted to develop, as soon as it's legal.

What would it be? Herbal Tea
Name? I'm sure someone else could come up with something clever.
Ingredients? My hometown's major cash crop... take a wild guess.
Package? Sort of an Honest Tea type packaging.
Distribution? Nationwide, emphasis on college towns.
Marketing angle? This one's obvious.

Ah, somebody beat you T.I.A.! There is a hemp tea floating around on the west cost. I think it is hemptea.com or something. The guy was looking for investors-- perhaps you could ante up some $$ and realize your dream!

How about Willie's Hemp Power? That is a great drink...

Man, investors??? Gee whiz does anyone fall for that scam anymore?? If it weren't for investors we wouldn't have had to deal with junk like Jones in the first place!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

SumPoosie is it here in Houston !!!!!!!!!!!!
SumPoosie is my pick for best ever!!!!!!!!!
