Minute Maid touts pouch drink, new U.S. products msnbc.com It looks like Minute Maid has not partnered with TCBG for the pouch drink based on the description below. However, still plenty of people for TCBG to partner with. ATLANTA, June 26 - Minute Maid Co., a division of Coca-Cola Co, said Thursday it will introduce three new products to U.S. markets this summer, including a pouch drink similar to Capri Sun, a product of Kraft Inc. "We've developed a package with an easy to use straw that goes in the first time, every time. It goes into that package and the liquid doesn't come out except to go into the mouth of the consumer," Minute Maid President Ralph Cooper said. The pouch drinks include Hi-C Blast and Minute Maid lemonade, and have already been test marketed in three U.S. cities where Cooper said results "gave us a 50 percent lift over box drinks." Cooper, speaking to beverage industry analysts at a presentation hosted by Coke, said Minute Maid would also introduce a tangerine drink targeted at children and a higher pulp orange juice for adults similar to hand-squeezed juice. Cooper showed segments from Minute Maid advertising campaigns that claim the company's Premium orange juice has the same taste as eating an orange, and he said the company would build on that theme in the United States and Europe. He said the company would begin orange juice sales in the United Kingdom on Monday, bringing the number of European countries where its products are marketed to eight.

You know, I have framed some relevant questions. I am not "bitching" about anything. What I do know is that these were samples sent to me. Samples of a product that the company wishes people to invest in. No where in that submission was I told that this was anything but the product that would be in general availability. As my money is as good as anyone else's I am going to post my thoughts on what I received. I suggest that you remove your ego out of the equation. Regardless of what it "might" do in the future, the fact remains is that with all the great news coming down this stock really hasn't gone anywhere. So you'll have to excuse me if I decide to do some queries beyond your assumptions about the product. That's what this board is for. I can write my own hype.
