Cheers to Beverages and You

By Malcolm Lowe
March 7, 2014

I'm a drinker more than an eater. I always have been. When I say drinker, I don't mean a drinker of alcoholic beverages, though I have one now and again. I mean the consumption of liquids over solids. I love drinks. Cold water in a dry mouth. There is nothing like it.

Add some bubbles, some flavors and voila! — the start of a product revolution based on an essential and simple experience. Thirst quench.

One stroll down the drinks aisle at a grocery store and the scope of your work comes into picture. For the love of all that is good, you have been working your tails off developing new beverages. The choices are astounding. In essence, you've allowed individual consumers to quench their thirst in their own way. Some people like water when they're thirsty, others like a soda. Heck, some even like milk!

In any case, you've developed line after line to appeal to individual demands. Bravo!

And now, I offer a collection of articles and videos to help you continue your chase of magnificent beverage formulations. Keep moving!

Your weekly reduction!
