In the time since we first sampled Prometheus Springs, the line has expanded, the packaging has changed, and new management is in place. The change in packaging, which involves a move to a smaller 10 oz. bottle and a rebranding effort, is the primary reason that we’re taking a fresh look at the brand.
This morning, the Internet brought us the following news: A plaintiff named “Diane” has reportedly filed a claim against Monster Beverage Corp., blaming the company’s energy drinks as the reason for the death of a victim named as “Uncle Rickie.” The 59-year-old man was an aficionado of Jager Bombs made with Monster Energy, and Uncle Rickie had already had a couple when he died.

Earlier this year, Sneaky Pete’s overhauled the packaging for its line of oat-enhanced drinks, and we're big fans of what the company has changed.

We think the revised branding does a much better job of communicating what the line is all about.
