a 'kid drink'

[Menlaan]

I met someone who does brand management. She's currently marketing a 'kid drink.' She asked me to guess what drink it is. Any guesses from the parents (or others) out there?

Thanks

Vodka Jr. ??

I thought you were joking, but a google shows a lot of "I Love Vodka" baby t-shirts. Is this a joke, or is this actually a drink? What's it like?

Kool-Aid?
Juicy Juice?
Capri Sun?
Hawaiian Punch?
Simulac?
Pedialyte? (ps. this shit is the best for hangovers I have determined)

The first three I've at least heard of! Though it sounds like I need to try Pedialyte. Hangovers are a bitch past 30. . .

[10sun]

Wtf, you've never heard of Hawaiian Punch?

The other two I only know about because I have been around friends/family with babies. I think I mispelled Simulac... maybe it is Similac? I can't remember ><

and yeah, Pedialyte... doctors will tell you to drink it if you have severe dehydration from being sick.

[Menlaan]

haha, yeah, I've heard of Hawaiian Punch. I miswrote.

Okay, I've done some e-sleuthing, and I found out that her work email address is Kraft foods. 10, or anyone else, which brand does that point me towards?

Capri Sun

Kool-Aid

[Menlaan]

Alright, give me your best guess and I'll go with it

[Menlaan]

Oh, she lives in NY, but I imagine she can do her brand management for any company anywhere. . .

Similac is baby formula.

Pedialyte tastes like crap. It's nasty.

It's probably that new juice with the carrots in it.

[10sun]

Give me a few minutes & I'll get the rest for you.

[Menlaan]

Nice. Where are you now anyway? Are you still in NJ?

[10sun]

TANG

I forgot about that nasty shit.
Thats it for drinks marketed primarily for children, although I remember drinking a lot of Crystal Light when I was a teenager.

Ovaltine?

I'm back in Ohio for school.

I ended things back in March because thats how long the internship was supposed to last... they wanted me to stay & offered me a comfy salaried position(non-exempt at that) with great benefits. I couldn't do it though, I was losing my mind because I was so fucking bored & my blood pressure was climbing rapidly.

Ovaltine?

I don't think Twinings is a subsidary of Kraft, but I could be wrong.

[Menlaan]

Gotcha. Probably the right move.

Kraft Foods make too many 'kids' drinks! I think I'll have to go with Kool-Aid from the options since I at least had that a few times as a kid.

This is a group effort though, what does everyone think? Should we set up a poll? I've got to reply to her tomorrow!

[The Kizzy]

Capri Sun Sport is my guess

[Menlaan]

I wish I weren't so good at the e-sleuthing. . . I've now found her blog. OMG

[10sun]

I'd almost be willing to say it will be Tang because I haven't seen any strong marketing drives recently for that.

[Menlaan]

No mention of the brand in her blog as far as I've seen so far. Maybe it's a different person. . .

[Martrae]

Isn't there a new flavored Country Time coming out or something?

[10sun]

I'd say with 50% confidence that it is Tang.
