Sherman, BAZI President and CEO. “With BAZI, there’s no crash, no warning label, and no adverse effects to your health. Pure and simple, BAZI is energy and nutrition.”Continue Reading »

The folks over at Time Magazine have made a statement with their list of “Top 10 Bad Beverage Ideas”, inspired by doubt in Coca-Cola’s new “Vio” carbonated milk drink. The list is below, how did they do? Continue Reading »
Despite being the poorest country in the western hemisphere, Haiti still manages to get its fine beverage on. For liquor, their most notable is Barbancourt Rhum, which unfortunately, their factory suffered some serious setbacks during the January earthquake that rocked the small Caribbean country and killed over 200,000 Haitians. They lost quite a bit of rum and the factory sustained some serious damage as well.
The most dominate seems to be energy drinks. Toro (their marketing looks pretty similar to Red Bull), Gladiator, Atomic, Ragaman, etc. The list goes on and on, but they love their energy drinks and the trash of empty bottles strewn throughout the streets makes this evident. They don’t taste nearly as good as ours and they’re pretty syrupy, with the main ingredients being water and granulated sugar. Continue Reading »
Math doesn’t lie people, and the equation on this poster says it all: time travel IS possible, you apparently just need to make a cocktail with an energy drink, Crystal Pepsi in a label-less prototype glass bottle, and squirrel juice, then drink the magical elixir in a hot tub to travel back in time to the ’80s when Parker was king and Crystal Pepsi hadn’t happened yet. Wow, think about that one for a second, Crystal Pepsi being on the horizon? It must’ve been awesome when culture still had something to look forward to.
In other news, Mutineer has made it a 2010 goal to be the #1 Google search result for “squirrel”, “squirrel juice”, or “squirrel juice cocktail sends people back to the ’80s”. Stay tuned…
Ever since I added stock car racing to my bucket list after noticing that I only need 50,000 Amtrak points for a “Race Your Own Stock Car” experience, I’ve been on the lookout for some more epic stuff to add to my list, which also includes buying Pabst and organizing a library tasting of Crystal Pepsi.
So you can imagine my reaction when I heard that Red Bull is offering people a chance to free fall from earth’s stratosphere… Continue Reading »

I gave the fine people at Monster Beverage Co. a chance. After hearing about their shameless attack on Rock Art Brewery‘s Vermonster, I called Monster up to get their side of the story. They told me they couldn’t comment, but they would send me a statement. They didn’t. Fools. Continue Reading »
