“If we had to choose the most profound of our learning experiences in this, our ‘Discovery’ year, I would say it was confirmation that our pledge to the health and wellness of our consumer outweighed short-term earnings growth. The explosive growth of Cúrate 8-pack both surprised and delighted retailers. The NiCola trials pushed the sparkling water ‘crossover’ to experiment in the Chicago cola ‘experience’! Exciting – no doubt about it . . .

Shortly, our new Shasta Sparkling Water (with its secret ingredient) will be in the market. Shasta’s fabled flavors, in a great-tasting health and wellness package, will continue to keep our (126 year) loyalists content and healthier without sacrificing their favorite flavor,” continued Caporella.

“The most endearing of this fact-proving period has been the comments written by the launch respondents of the Chicago ‘experience’! The overwhelming response for the package optics, the invigorating ‘essence’ and the most assuring praise for the flavor – has, most excitingly, heightened the future promise of our Company!

NiCola . . . a cola-flavored, ‘Innocent’ sparkling water for the penchant cola enthusiast – in such a stunning, patriotic tall can, too!” concluded a delighted and proud Caporella.

National Beverage’s iconic brands are the genuine essence . . . of America. 

“Patriotism” – If Only We Could Bottle It!

Fun, Flavor and Vitality . . . the National Beverage Way
