New season, new guests. This episode's guest has worked with Mr. Beast, Selena Gomez, and more—and you've definitely seen him on your own TV.  Nik's got Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank to give us the run down of entrepreneurship, creativity, and crowdfunding. He's done everything from low-budget ads to working with multimillion dollar commercials. Why does creativity still matter, and how does bad creative affect the whole project? It matters more than we think. Is crowdfunding still relevant today?  Plus, why are some celebrity brands failing? The truth is, people smell BS from a mile away. The audience knows whether it's authentic or not, and that makes or breaks the products' success.  And, what's Kevin's REAL opinion on Poppi after choosing not to invest in it on Shark Tank? He shares what he thinks of the product and why Shark Tank is the American Dream personified. Prescient AI is the world's smartest marketing decision engine, powered by the most dynamic MMM.

Even after 15 years and a majority sale – reportedly valued at over $650 million – of the company he founded, Bill Creelman remains convinced that Spindrift is just at the beginning of a “real” revolution. Since launching Spindrift in 2010, Bill has built the brand into a powerhouse, generating nearly $300 million in annual retail sales, according to Nielsen IQ. Spindrift is known for its sparkling water made with real fruit juice and purees, with no added sugars or added flavors. The brand has expanded its portfolio to include hard seltzers and, more recently, a mid-calorie soda line that harkens back to Spindrift's original mission of delivering authentic, high-quality beverages. Earlier this year, private equity firm Gryphon Investors acquired a majority stake in Spindrift. As part of this transition, veteran CPG executive Dave Burwick stepped in as CEO, while Bill now serves as chairman of the board. Together, Bill and Dave are leading Spindrift into its next chapter, one focused on real ingredients and sustainable growth. For Bill, the future is full of endless possibilities. As he shared in our conversation, “The most surprising part is realizing just how much further we can go.” In this episode, Bill and Dave dive into the importance of staying true to a vision, executing it with patience, and creating a brand that resonates with today's conscious consumers. They explore how ambition, when guided by intentionality, leads to real, sustainable growth. Bill and Dave also discuss why Spindrift's innovation strategy is grounded in the belief that the world is ready for beverages that prioritize quality, transparency, and authenticity. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Bill Creelman, Founder & Dave Burwick, CEO, Spindrift – Bill and Dave reflect on Spindrift's journey since its inception in 2010, starting with refrigerated sodas in iconic longneck glass bottles, and how the brand is now revisiting its origins with a new line of canned sodas. They discuss Spindrift's premium positioning and its ability to maintain a higher price point in an increasingly crowded market, emphasizing why consumers are willing to pay more for a product that delivers authenticity and exceptional quality. The founders attribute the brand's ability to uphold its integrity and solidify its market position to its unwavering commitment to real ingredients and flavor innovation. They also explore the concept of "refreshment" in the beverage space, discussing untapped potential within Spindrift's core business and the vital role of strategic partnerships, like Gryphon, in fueling the brand's sustained growth. Reflecting on the company's progress, Bill acknowledges the challenges they've faced, emphasizing the importance of staying true to their vision during difficult times and remaining focused on long-term success.

Today we revisit Kate's conversation with Allison Ellsworth, the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Poppi. It was recently announced that Allison is selling her company to PepsiCo for nearly $2 billion.In this episode, Allison discusses her story of founding Poppi after facing numerous gut-health issues but being dissatisfied by the solutions her doctors came up with. After noticing the immense health benefits but bad taste of apple cider vinegar, Allison and her husband Stephen created Mother Beverage, a prebiotic soda that makes apple cider vinegar taste good.From selling at farmer's markets to getting an investment on Shark Tank, Poppi has revolutionized the soda industry by doing the unthinkable: creating a soda that is both tasty and good for you. Poppi sodas have been seen in the hands of Billie Eilish, Russell Westbrook, Jennifer Lopez, and many of your favorite celebrities. Poppi's grape flavor won Food and Beverage Magazine's Product of the Year for 2023, and the brand is the number one best-selling soda on Amazon.

This week, we're deep diving PepsiCo's $1.95 billion acquisition of the prebiotic soda brand Poppi, discussing the shift towards health-conscious beverages and their potentially misleading claims, and digging into influencer-adjacent beverage drama like cheater brands, "vending machine gate" and rumors about if the investments of Alex Cooper and Alix Earle in beverage companies have something to do with their public falling out (and Alix being "dropped" from the Unwell network). This deep dive touches on many topics: the broader trends in the beverage industry, influencer culture, the "Health Halo Effect" of unregulated better-for-you sodas, and, most importantly, the power of branding.

Poppi just popped – big time. But was PepsiCo's $1.65 billion acquisition driven by TikTok virality, perfect timing, or industry heavyweights like Rohan Oza? (Sorry, prebiotics, this one's not about you.) And now that the first major deal has landed, is the BFY soda space about to see a gold rush – or a bubble burst? The hosts break it all down.  Plus, we revisit standout interviews from our Miami meetup with Koia's Chris Hunter, Verlivest's Ken Sadowsky, and Matriarch Wealth Management's Stephen Santangelo.  Show notes: 0:45: Ray, Animated.

Which Prebiotic Lemon Lime Soda is best?  There is a new fad in the soda world, and it seems to be growing fast.  This week we are trying out some of these new "healthy" sodas, which are officially marketed as Prebiotic or Probiotic.  The timing of our recording this episode was a bit unfortunate because after we tried out these sodas, my local grocery store started carrying 3 more brands.  For now we will be testing to see if any of the contenders  (Culture Pop, Olipop, and Poppi) are any good.  Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com.      SPOILER!  Below is a list of which soda corresponds to which numbered glass it was in: 1. Olipop 2. Culture Pop 3. Poppi

Here's the latest CPG news happening right now on March 19th, 2025 including Poppi Acquisition By Pepsi, Poppi Lawsuit Settlement, Trump Tariff Update, New Brand Mark's Snacks LaunchingPepsiCo just announced it is acquiring prebiotic soda brand Poppi for $1.95 billion, a major accomplishment for a brand founded less than ten years ago. This transaction echoes the year-on-year growth of the functional drink market, especially the better-for-you soda category, with competitor Coca-Cola launching Simply Pop just a few weeks ago and Olipop raising a $50 million Series C, valuing the rival prebiotic soda brand at nearly $2 billion. These industry moves might finally convince skeptics that gut-friendly and other healthier soda alternatives are here to stay, forcing traditional players to evolve and adapt to growing demand for less sugary drinks.As Pepsi was closing the deal on its $1.95 billion acquisition of Poppi (VNGR Beverages), the prebiotic soda maker is wrapping up another deal, this one with a class action group of consumers alleging they were misled by the drink's gut-health claims.The group asked the California federal judge presiding over the case to confirm a proposed $8.9 million settlement, a result it described as “exceptional compared with similar misleading beverage cases” in its motion for preliminary approval filed last Friday.In a statement shared with BevNET this morning, Poppi stated: “The class action suit filed against poppi in May 2024 has been settled. poppi acknowledges no fault, liability, or wrongdoing, and instead, we are focused on bringing consumers the innovation they expect from the brand they love. We're excited to move forward and continue our passion to modernize soda for the next generation.”The total settlement, according to the filing, breaks down to 0.75 cents per single 12 oz. can, $3 per 4-pack, $6 per 8-pack, and $9 per 12-pack or 15-pack. The class includes anyone in the U.S. who purchased Poppi between Jan. 23, 2020, and the settlement notice date.The three complaints lodged against Poppi last year, which were consolidated in September, take aim at one of the brand's core pillars: gut health, as reflected in slogans like “gut health never tasted this good” and “for a healthy gut.”The filings argued that the agave inulin Poppi uses as its primary source of prebiotic fiber was far too low to have any meaningful impact on the gut, and that the presence of sugars harms the balance of good bacteria in the digestive system.President Trump said last week he is doubling tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum in response to Ontario adding a surcharge on its electricity exports to the U.S., hitting Michigan, Minnesota and New York. The latest increase, which brings levies on the goods to 50%, will go into effect Wednesday morning, the president wrote in a social media post. Trump also vowed to “substantially increase” tariffs on Canadian auto parts on April 2, if dairy and other tariffs are not dropped.Mark Samuel, Previous Founder of IWON Organics, is launching a new brand, suitably called 'Mark's Snacks. On Linkedin, he debuted the news and said "I said I'd never do it again. At the same time, I said I'd never live with regret. So, I'm diving back into CPG, making it even more personal this time around, please follow the journey at MARK'S SNACKS, it should be one heck of a ride!"

Wild is woven into the fabric of her brand's identity. But Rosa Li's methodical, strategic approach to building a successful and respected CPG company stands in contrast to the untamed energy her products represent. Rosa is the founder and CEO of Wildwonder, a sparkling beverage brand that is infused with prebiotics and probiotics. Launched in 2020, the AAPI-founded company describes itself as “rooted in culture,” offering USDA organic drinks that taste as fresh and vibrant as a California produce stand. Flavors like Raspberry Lychee, Strawberry Passion, and Guava Rose come to life in 12 oz. slim cans, each containing five grams of prebiotic fiber, six grams of sugar, and 40 calories. Wildwonder is available nationwide, including at Whole Foods, Sprouts and The Fresh Market, as well as select Target and Costco locations. In this interview, Rosa shares how a focus on steady, incremental growth has been key to maintaining Wildwonder's integrity. She discusses how the brand aligns its expansion with core values, its unique position at the intersection of kombucha and soda, and the power of social listening in shaping the company's future. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Rosa Li, Founder & CEO, Wildwonder – On location at Expo West 2025, Rosa chats about how attendees interacted with Wildwonder at its booth, how her grandmother inspired the creation of the brand and its evolution in messaging and packaging – from glass to aluminum cans. She also talks about how consumers compare Wildwonder to kombucha, why she will not describe the brand as a “soda,” what she views as the best merchandising opportunity for the products and how its pricing and retail strategy are interwoven. Rosa also discusses how she met buyers from major retail chains, demand planning and supporting the brand at the store level, managing the company's co-packer relationships, especially when challenges arise, and how listening to consumers has guided Wildwonder's innovation and marketing efforts. Brands in this episode: Wildwonder, Olipop, Poppi, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, GT's Living Foods, Nona Lim
