April 01, 2009 Patrons serve themselves from personal minibars
A few weeks ago, we wrote about a Washington, D.C. bar that cuts wait times for drinks through a no-standing policy. A new bar in Amsterdam has devised a different strategy: guests serve themselves from their own mini bars. The establishment, Minibar, is set to open soon. How it works? Customers leave a passport or driver's license with a staff member and are given an ice bucket and a key to their bar. The numbered mini fridges fill an entire wall, and vary in size and content—guests can choose from beer bars, champagne bars and mixed bars. Like an old-fashioned food automat, the mini bars are stocked from the back, making for easy restocking and out-of-sight logistics. Designed by renowned Dutch design firm Concrete, Minibar offers consumers a new experience—one that's sure to be welcomed by those who are fed up with waiting in line or aren't willing (or able) to shell out for pricey bottle service. We wouldn't be surprised to see similar concepts popping up around the world. (Related: Tap your own beer.)

NEW FLAVORS FOR METRO MINT
pure. simple. mintwater. Metromint is mintwater, pure and simple. The all natural combination of pure water and real mint has a unique cooling sensation that relieves your thirst, soothes your body, and revives your soul. No sweeteners. No calories. No preservatives. Nothing but all natural ingredients and a surprisingly vibrant taste. Take one sip and experience the cooling sensation you can get only from the real mint in Metromint. The mint’s essential oils naturally stimulate the brain to send cooling sensations throughout your body. We call this cooling sensation The Chill Factor. Metromint is now available in four varieties: original Peppermint, subtle Spearmint, and new tangy Lemonmint and citrusy Orangemint.
Metromint is the brain-child of Rio Miura and Scott Lowe. Miura was born in Japan and has a background in product and fashion design. She conceived the recipe for Metromint and designed the label and bottle. Lowe, a Stanford graduate with a degree in International Relations, is responsible for product development and manufacturing. Together the two formed Soma Beverage Company in a loft in San Francisco’s South of Market district (SOMA), a neighborhood that is home to artists, high-tech start-ups, and the entrepreneurial spirit. Combining the purest ingredients with innovative packaging and extraordinary taste, Metromint single-handedly created a new beverage category called mintwater. Metromint already has a loyal following. Four years in the making, Metromint was introduced to the public at the New York Fancy Food Show in 2004. Since then it has been flying off shelves. In 2004 Peppermint won BevNet’s best new product award. And in 2006 Spearmint won a Best New Beverage Award at the Natural Products Expo West.

NEW ENVIGA™ PROVEN TO BURN CALORIES
The drink proven to burn calories – Enviga –hits the U.S. market in the Northeast in November and will roll out nationally in January 2007. A delicious sparkling green tea containing green tea extracts, calcium, and caffeine, Enviga was conceived by Beverage Partners Worldwide (BPW) – a joint venture of Nestlé S.A. and The Coca-Cola Company. “Enviga increases calorie burning. It represents the perfect partnership of science and nature,” said Dr. Rhona Applebaum, chief scientist, The Coca-Cola Company. “Enviga contains the optimum blend of green tea extracts (EGCG), caffeine and naturally active plant micronutrients designed to work with your body to increase calorie burning, thus creating a negative calorie effect. It makes this product stand out as unique. Enviga brings the benefits of green tea to the forefront in a convenient and accessible, great tasting beverage.” Consumers demand choice “We’ve seen a shift in consumers’ attitudes toward diet and health and wellness, with more consumers seeking product choices that support active lifestyles, rather than just eliminating things from their diet,” said John Hackett, senior vice president, Coca-Cola North America Marketing. “Enviga is a great tasting beverage that invigorates your metabolism to gently burn calories, and it’s a positive step people can take as part of a balanced lifestyle – like taking the stairs.” Enviga will be available in three delicious flavors – green tea, berry and peach –in the ready-to-drink tea section at supermarkets, mass merchandisers, convenience and drug stores, and club stores. Enviga will be sold in individual 12-ounce sleek cans as well as six-can and 12- can multi-packs. Suggested retail price for Enviga will be $1.29 - $1.49 (single can). “Enviga brings together Nestlé’s expertise in nutritional science and extensive knowledge in the benefits of green tea with Coca-Cola’s consumer, marketing and distribution resources to create a new global beverage category with unique consumer benefits – a beverage with negative calories,“ said Leslie Novos, CEO of Beverage Partners Worldwide.
