The soft drink industry could soon fall under heavy pressure from lawmakers who seek to impose taxes on sugary drinks linked to a number of health issues. The regulatory headwinds facing big-name soda companies like The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE: KO), PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE: PEP) and Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. (NYSE: DPS) could be significant, but one smaller competitor has made big strides in preparation for potential soda taxes. Back in February, National Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: FIZZ) announced the first ever “Soft-Drink Alternative” (SDA), a product that took four years to develop. National’s Shasta Sparkling brand became the beverage industry’s first “clean label” drink. Shasta Sparkling contains no calories, no sodium, no sweeteners and 100 percent all-natural ingredients. “Shasta (SDA) Sparkling is redefining and revolutionizing how consumers have modified their tastes for a healthier, better-for-you alternative to sweetened soft drinks,” CEO Nick Caporella said. Related Link: 5 Of The Hottest Stocks To Own During The Summer Traders are taking note. Since the beginning of April, National Beverage’s stock is up 30.1 percent, significantly outperforming Coca-Cola (-3.5 percent), Pepsi (+0.3 percent) and Dr Pepper Snapple (+1.4 percent). Perhaps the most appealing thing about the company from an investment perspective is its massive room for growth. With a market cap of only $2.6 billion, National accounts for only a fraction of the market share of its larger rivals. If local governments continue to turn up the heat on soda companies, more and more investors could start to find Shasta Sparkle’s clean label status quite refreshing.

Outside the Bottle
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOTTLE AN ESSAY BY KELLE LOUAILLIER FROM THE ALTERNET BOOK WATER CONSCIOUSNESS Edited by Foreword by Tara Lohan Bill McKibben INTRODUCTION By Bill McKibben The story of our current water crisis is, in many ways, a story like so many others — the story of how the financial interests of the few can trump the basic needs of the many. The story of how this global crisis is being tackled, however, is anything but typical. And it traces back in part to a crowded university basement office from which the first successful, global boycott of a transnational corporation was launched. Thirty years ago a small team of human rights activists determined that Nestlé’s aggressive marketing of infant formula in low-income countries had to stop. Millions of infants were dying from its use. Mothers either couldn’t afford to buy enough of it or the water in their communities wasn’t safe enough to use in the formula. The boycott these activists led was a direct challenge to irresponsible and dangerous corporate actions that threaten people’s health and lives. Thirty years later, it is not surprising that the same organization that led the Nestlé boycott is now a force behind the global movement challenging corporate control of our most essential resource. Through published work, such as the essay Thinking Outside the Bottle, and global action, Corporate Accountability International has encouraged us to look deeper at global warming and water shortage as symptoms of a larger problem. A handful of corporations are operating in conflict with, and without accountability to, our long-term health and well-being.

I look back now with melancholy at the time while completing the manuscript of my popular study of the Coca-Cola Company’s merchandising history – “The Illustrated Guide to the Collectibles of Cola” (Hawthorn Books, NY). – I consciously did not include a chapter on Coca- Cola cans. Why? I didn’t think that collectors would be interested in “rusty, old tin cans.” I overlooked the entire category except for a few of the early cone-top models and didn’t take into account the successful introduction of aluminum cans and bottles as attractive and long-lasting beverage containers. This article doesn’t make any such mistake; it glorifies a whole, relatively new, category of collectible containers, thus giving collectors the head-start information needed to begin a collection of energy drink cans and bottles. Thanks to eBay and other sources, the current beverages and even those products that didn’t make it in the fast- paced energy drink market, are still available.
