Monster Drinks Face Challenges Despite High Sales


Monster drinks have made it big. They are in demand especially by teenagers and athletes who get a high from the caffeine contained within the drinks. Such is the popularity of Monster drinks that...
    






Hotter, Cooler, Better.

If you like your coffee hot and your water cold, then the Copo thermos was designed for you. It keeps drinks at your preferred temperature when you’re on the go. Since it’s made of double-paned glass, it’s always comfortable to hold, even if you pour boiling water right into it.

A simple way to make crushed ice

Fine crushed ice is reserved for those with a fancy in-door refrigerator dispenser, right? Wrong! This hand-held ice crusher works by manually twisting each end to activate the internal crushing components. Small enough to throw in a drawer, now anyone can have flaky ice to add an aesthetic and textural effect to beverages!

Rouge Sucette is Coca-Cola-Flavored Wine

Love wine? Love soda? Even though the Rouge Sucette contains elements of both, there’s no guarantee that you’ll love it though. It’s a Coca-Cola-flavored wine by Châteaux en Bordeaux’s Hausmann Famille, and it’s going to be relesaed next month.

coke wine

Rouge Sucette, which translates to ‘Red Lollipop’, contains 75% wine, 25% sugar, water, and a whole lot of cola flavoring. Of course, you could probably just mix wine and Coke in your own home, but it’s not going to be the same, that much I can tell you.

What do you think? Fun concoction or weird booze?

Halo 4 Cortana Cocktail Might Make You Feel Rampant

I might be a little behind the times, but I just finished the campaign mode of Halo 4 over the holidays. For those of you who haven’t played the game yet, (minor spoiler ahead) Cortana has a little case of something called “rampancy” in which too much information loaded into her program causes her to destabilize and lose her mind. Now you can have a little of the same, when you down this special Cortana-themed cocktail.

halo 4 cortana cocktail

This delightfully blue drink is made up from Blue Curacao, Alize Bleu Passion, UV Blue Vodka, Blueberry Lemonade Mio, and a bit of Sprite or 7UP.  Here’s the full recipe:

Ingredients:
1.5 parts Blue Curacao
2 parts Alizé Bleu Passion
2 parts UV Blue Vodka
1 squeeze Blueberry Lemonade Mio
Lemon Lime soda

Directions: Pour the Blue Curacao over ice into a hurricane or equally sexy tall glass. Float Alizé atop Curacao. Float vodka atop Alizé. Gently pour your lemon lime soda nearing the top. Squeeze a shot of blue concentrated flavoring (Mio). She’s waited a long time for this, John. Savor the moment as if it’s your last.

Between the vodka and the two other alcoholic ingredients, you definitely won’t be feeling any pain after a few of these. Though it might just affect your ability to effectively take down Covenant and Promethean warriors.

The Cortana Cocktail was made by Clint Slowik, and is featured up on The Drunken Moogle, where you can also find Clint’s other Halo concoction, the awesomely-colored Master Chief.

Give the Gift of Pepsi and Win Free Drinks on PepsiCo’s Interactive Vending Machine

Months after Coca-Cola rolled out their ‘Open Happiness’ vending machines, Pepsi is following suit. They won’t be giving away free bottles of soda for hugs, although you will be able to give people the gift of Pepsi and play a game to score free drinks.

pepsi interactive vending machine
You can buy drinks for yourself or for a friend. To send a gift to someone, all you have to do is punch in the recipient’s email address and name. The machine will then send them a code, which they can key in on the machine to claim. Of course, that assumes your friend is somewhere near one of these machines as well.

The Pepsi vending machine is also programmed with a game that you can play to win 20-ounce beverage bottles for yourself.

Pretty cool vending machine, but I prefer Coca-Cola’s because, really, what can beat getting free Coke for a hug? What do you think?

The PepsiCo Interactive Vending Machine dispenses Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist Natural, Aquafina and Lipton Green Tea, and can be found at Columbiana Centre (Columbia, SC), Clackamas Town Center (Happy Valley, OR), Oglethorpe Mall (Savannah, GA), Oakwood Mall (Eau Claire, WI) and Park City Center (Lancaster, PA).

Buttered Popcorn Vodka Gives Society Drunk Moviegoers

I hope you liked my use of the word “moviegoer” in the title, since it is a real word. Just like “perfooligan,” a word that describes someone who is the perfect hooligan – the epitome of being a moron. (I take that spot, if you were wondering, so don’t even think about it.) This Buttered Popcorn Vodka opens up so many possibilities! Too scared to watch the Saw movies? NOT WHEN YOU’RE BOOZED OUT OF YOUR MIND! You know what – let’s just go crazy right now. We’re going to make some Toaster Strudel, and it’s three in the morning, and it’s not even three in the morning, because the only time I see is TOASTER STRUDEL TIME. “How many?” How many times I vomited or how many bottles of popcorn vodka?

popcorn vodka

You know, this is the weirdest thing I’ve posted about in a while, and I make some weird posts. I put a picture of a forty year old man in lizard body paint on my Tumblr, and guess what? SO MANY REBLOGS. I took a tip from Charlie Sheen, and it turns out that being BLAZED all of the time is the best time for creativity. *Tries to balance a shoe on someone’s nose*

Please, my friends, drink this Buttered Popcorn Vodka responsibly. Don’t make a fool of yourself as I did in the last couple of paragraphs, and never…. ever… use Twitter while you’re intoxicated. Those things shoot out into the internet-o-sphere, and you can’t get them back. EVER. That picture of your special area is probably on every Twitter feed in the state by now – even Anthony Weiner is laughing at you, and his last name is an informal term for male genitalia.

You can get the Buttered Popcorn Vodka for $13 at a place called Party All The Time And Drive Cars Into Swimming Pools The Party Source, if you’re into that kind of thing. I’d much rather that you didn’t waste your life by drinking it away, so I’ll give you a few articles to feast on instead: the Beard Cozy for your beer cans and Star Wars Water Bottles. I just saved you thirteen bucks, friend.

Tea for Tweet: This Vending Machine Gives You Free Iced Tea for a Tweet

For the past few months, a lot of advertising and marketing campaigns have been targeting vending machines. There’s Coca-Cola’s vending machine that gave away free soda for a hug, and the Rugbeer vending machinethat needed to be tackled before it dispensed any beer. And then there’s the Bevmax 4-45, commonly known as ‘Bev’, that dispenses free ice tea in exchange for a tweet.

tea tweet
It’s as smart as vending machines get. It’s located at Wembley Square in Cape Town and encourages people to send out GPS-tagged tweets that include a specific hashtag so they can claim some free refreshments.

Once Bev notices the tweet, it’ll mechanically work to serve you up a can of tea for your enjoyment.

South African soda company BOS Ice Tea worked together with social media agency RAAK to come up with Bev. Pretty ingenious, isn’t it? And it’s great for generating publicity, too.
