8th Continent
‘The sun icons identify flavors and serve as a reminder that soymilk is a healthy, plant-based drink’
Joe Miller turned me on to this stuff. Smooth flavor, tons of protein.
Last year, Bob Dinetz and BBDO West updated 8th Continent’s packaging with Yoplait-like illustrations by Ben Javens.
Dr Pepper’s (original) secret formula (maybe)
‘Poking through antiques stores while traveling through the Texas Panhandle, Bill Waters stumbled across a tattered old ledger book filled with formulas.’
The Dr Pepper company says this ain’t it. Others think otherwise.
The formula in the ‘Castles’ ledger purchased by Bill Waters contains (among legible ingredients) ‘gentian root, sweet flag root, mandrake root, wahoo bark, cinnamon bark, cardamom, coriander, cloves, diluted alcohol, syrup, glycerin’ and is labeled, ‘D Peppers Pepsin Bitters.’
Like another pharmacy invention, Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper’s secret flavoring formula is the subject of much conjecture.
Time frame and location are all right. More info here and here.
