Company And Brand History of Kraft Heinz/Crystal Light
Crystal Light is a brand of flavored powdered drink mix. It is a low-calorie beverage mix that is used to change the flavor of the water. It is sweetened with a combination of aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sucralose, and or sugar. Crystal Light is a brand within the Kraft Heinz company. Crystal Light was originally launched in 2004 with their single-serve “On the Go” packets. They were for flavoring one beverage and taking it wherever you wanted to go. Eventually, in 2009, it was redesigned and became available in multi-serve packages, for flavoring larger drinks. Then, in 2010, Kraft came out with a new design for Crystal Light called Pure Fitness. It is a naturally sweetened low-calorie fitness drink mix sweetened with sugar and Truvia, and is currently
The relevance of demand and supply in economics cannot be overstated given that the two are considered some of economics' most fundamental concepts.

Essentially, the soft-drink industry is largest beverage industry. It gross millions a year, and has different distribution channels. For example, these soft-drinks are sold in supermarket, Vending Machines, Gas stations, etc. The cost is incomparable to the amount of consumer we currently have in America. If Americans consumer on average 50 gallons in a year. The cost of 2.00 is not missed by the average person. With that said, there is a least likely chance that a person would attempt to duplicate the process at home. The soda making process is too time consuming, and inconvenient when a person can simply can go to the store to purchase. Consumers can either be very loyal to the brand or fickle. Influx in prices can make consumers switch very quickly. However, there are typically incentives associated with loyalty. There are giveaways and contest that entices the customers to keep purchasing. For example, Snapple does this with a real fact on every lid. I personally know people that will buy the product just to read the facts.
The methods that crystal can be taken are: snorting, injection, smoking, rubbing powdered crystal on gums, and sometimes it is simply placed into a soda or other beverage, usually carbonated.
The beverage V Fusion + Energy is committed to its customers by providing flavors that set it apart from competition and is made for the youth, especially teenagers and college students who explore an extreme lifestyle of sports and action. Therefore, the brand has created appeal to the target group’s natural desires and ambitions and seeks to fulfil that quest. The drink capitalizes on its different flavors and nutritive value to appeal to different consumer markets and target groups. The beverage is up in competition against established brands, such as Monster, Red Bull, Rock Star, Lucozade, and Burn who command a huge chunk of the market share.
The concentration of sugars in two well-known sports drinks, Powerade and Gatorade, were determined by monitoring an enzyme-catalysed reaction sequence involving the appearance of NADPH. Sucrose and glucose concentrations were calculated from the concentration of NADPH formed by the reaction of glucose-6-phosphate and NADP+. Spectrophotometric absorbance readings were taken at 340nm, this is because NADPH absorbs strongly at this wavelength, whilst NADP+ does not (1015MSC, 2010). The concentration of glucose and sucrose in
The first company I selected, is New Belgium Brewing whose “mission”, or as they refer to it, “purpose” statement, “To manifest our love and talent by crafting our customers' favorite brands and proving business can be a force for good.” [1] This purpose is demonstrated in many of the good will acts and environmentally positive impacts the NBB Company creates. A few examples of this are as follows; Bike-in cinemas where folks can ride their bikes and watch a move with minimal environmental impact, as well as any proceeds going to a local charity or conservation group. These events are held all over the country, so it helps a lot of people and areas. Next, are the Slow Roll events, which are simple group bike rides, and are also environmentally sensitive. Several of the core values of the
Anheuser-Busch Inc. is a dominating global leader in the beer industry, specifically in the United States. Its roots can be traced all the way back to 1852 from the Bavarian Brewery in St. Louis MO when Adolphus Busch traveled from Germany to join his father-in-law. In 1876 Budweiser was founded and rooted its brand in values, ethics, and quality. These core staples of the company evolved all the way to 1982 when Bud Light was introduced. Today Bud Light is the best selling beer in the U.S. and the #1 beer sold by volume in the world. Let’s take a look into the marketing mix that makes this product so successful.
Several attempts have been made by Boston Beer Company to continue on a growth streak but not all attempts have been successful. The main goals for Boston Beer Company are to increase revenue and continue growing in the industry. Boston Beer Company has had trouble growing as barriers of entry are low and competition is high. Even though the market has seen a slight upturn, however Boston Beer’s founder Jim Koch elaborates on the company’s dissatisfaction, “We are disappointed with our depletion trends in 2016, which have remained weak so far in 2017. These trends are affected by the general softening of the craft-beer category and cider category and a more challenging retail environment with a lot of new options for our drinkers”.

The spinning off the restaurant divisions, in my opinion, is a success for PepsiCo. Although Yum! Brands has been a quite successful, thriving company with record setting growth and profitability, I would still support the decision today. PepsiCo had too many oars in the water with the beverage business, the snack business (Frito Lay) and the fast food restaurant business. It could not successfully manage all the diversity it had acquired. I commend the management team’s decision (led by, then President/CFO, Indra Nooyi and now Chairman/CEO) (Fox News 2012) to cut a highly potential part of its business off and to implement a strategy to focus on its main products and their distribution. This strategy has proved to be the right move for this organization.

You can see that the acquisition years (in yellow) show a negative impact on the stock price, with two of the three being significant. You should also note that, in the year of divesture,
