| Mingo Bay Beverages, Inc. And Slim Tropics Talking Deal 
 MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Mingo Bay Beverages, Inc.
 (OTC Bulletin Board: MGBA) has today announced that the Company is negotiating
 the acquisition of Slim Tropics from the Nordyke Group, Inc. of Ventura,
 California.
 Slim Tropics manufactures fruit juice-based drinks from nutraceutical
 formulations which are fat-burners.  "Thermo Genisis products of all types are
 very popular with Americans and with the recent demise of Phen-Fen we feel
 like this is a good opportunity for us," said Larry Moses of Mingo Bay.  "With
 the 72 drink flavors that we now have we feel as though we can develop some
 interesting and marketable products with the help of Dr. Nordyke," said Moses.
 Under the terms being discussed, Mingo Bay would acquire all rights to
 "Slim Tropics" trademark as well as their formulations.  Dr. Randy Nordyke who
 developed the formulas would remain as a part of Mingo Bay.
 "We have already put a group of dynamic people and products together and
 Slim Tropics would be an excellent addition," said Moses.
 Mingo Bay is currently talking with former IBM Executive David Robinson
 about stepping in to take over its day to day operations which would allow
 Moses to get back into the marketing arena.  Former Amana/Rayethon executive
 Bill Marcil is overseeing the smokeless cooker project and former Marriott
 executive Phil Randall is working the foodservice division.
 Mingo Bay is a manufacturer of tea, liquid coffee, juice and bar mix
 concentrates as well as Springhouse bottled water.  Additionally "The Mingo
 Millenium" smokeless cooker will be introduced this spring.
