Gatorade Removes Flame Retardant Ingredient After 15-Year-Old's Petition

Filed under: FoodHealth

gatorade-flame-retardant-removed-petition.jpg

Okay, so if you're somewhat confused, we understand. We're just learning this too.

Gatorade apparently has an ingredient, brominated vegetable oil (BVO), that can be used as a flame retardant!

When in Gatorade, BVO actually keeps certain flavors mixed in, or else the flavoring ingredient would float to the surface of the drink.

Sarah Kavanaugh, 15, realized people probably shouldn't be drinking BVO, so she started a petition on Change.org.

And PepsiCo, owner of Gatorade, listened! They're replacing the ingredient! That was easy!

Subway could take a page out of Pepsi's book! LOLz!

It's so amazing that they reacted so quickly to the online petition. They just saved themselves a lot of consumer grief.

Way to go, Sarah!

One Direction And Drew Brees Ham It Up For Pepsi!

Filed under: Music MinuteBusiness BlitzFootball

If Pepsi is going to give you millions of dollars to promote its drinks, you pretty much have to do whatever they want once you sign that contract.

That includes, but is not limited to, having Drew Brees join your boy band — even if he can't sing. LOLz!! One Direction experienced JUST THAT, and it's hilarious!

Coke And Pepsi Searching For Holy Grail Of Soda

Filed under: Business BlitzFoodHealthScience!

coke-pepsi-trifecta.jpg

Imagine a soda that has zero calories, zero artificial sweeteners, and tastes exactly like a regular soda.

That's the holy grail of soft drinks.

Coke and Pepsi are so close to it that they can taste it.

They're hoping to find the elusive trifecta that will silence health concerns about soda and reverse the decline in consumption of carbonated drinks — though, it could be years away.

The key is the sweeteners. Natural sweeteners that come from plants present the most promising alternative, but nobody has yet figured out how to mask their metallic aftertaste.

Stevia is getting a lot of attention, but the aftertaste is super hard to hide in cola.

Still, both Coke and Pepsi are putting massive amounts of money into finding the perfect combo — there's even a single coke plant dedicated to producing test products!

The day that it happens will be an incredible day! LOLz!
