Schnapple
"The best stuff on earth (tm)" gets better! | |
Akin to the latest wave of alcoholic drinks like Mike's Hard Lemonade and the various liquor coolers, a marriage between Snapple Iced Teas and the varying flavors of schnapps would seem to be a tasty goldmine for these two well established (and quasi-alliterative) products.

Schnapps
http://www.healthyo...ntry_flavorings.htm
Quote: "Schnapps is a generic term for strong, colorless alcoholic beverage distilled from grains or potatoes and variously flavored. Peppermint schnapps is the most common, but other flavors include cinnamon, vanilla, root beer, blackberry, raspberry, peach, and mango." [cleffedup, Oct 17 2004]

Link please,i don't know these products. |

In response to the link from egnor: Of course, every possible mixed drink on the planet has probably been invented and named -- but not bottled and distributed for sale. |
|
| |
So, you are claiming that your invention here is bottling and distribution? |
|
| |
... of the specified product combinations in the idea - yes, it's apparent that's the prepackaged goods which cleffedup so desires. My elf had never given it a thought, so I've got to give this a croissant for marriage of Schnapps and Snapple in title and form/function. |
|
| |
True - it's a pun, as are the restaurant's naming conventions, however - it's not a uniform, bottled, distributed product with Snapple's seal of approval on their bottles, let alone actual Snapple in the mix, save for the concoction which egnor found. |

Radlerbier--the combination of beer and lemonade was first mixed at beer-serving establishments. We might have links to various recipies but do we have links to the bottled product, intended for mass distribution? |

[waugs] Most companies regard their logos and names more highly than their products and service. Starting with a name works for me.
Ani DeFranco has a song line about quitting a college organization because the acronym wasn't cool enough. |

i was just reading a book about exactly this... |
|
| |
apparently when coca-cola was first developed 120yrs ago it was just sold as a concentrate to soda fountains, and built up a pretty good name for itself. |
|
| |
then 2guys asked if they were allowed to bottle it, and coke, went, hmmm, i guess so, here, have a perpetual contract (contract that last forever) with set prices for the concentrate, forever. |
|
| |
the 2 guys found bottling too much hassle so set up loads of independant franchises across america. |
|
| |
the bottlers worked really hard ansd distributed the bottles everywhere, and lots of people got very rich; cocacola, the bottlers, the 2guys with the contract... |
|
| |
but after a while, coke realised the bottlers were making lots of profit from their product, that potentially they could be making. they also realised their product was dependant on the concentrate they were selling to bottlers, and they resented it. |
|
| |
they've spent 100yrs trying to get the bottlers out, i dunno if they manage it, i haven't finisged the book. |
|
| |
anyway, i guess you can ask schnapple if you can bottle their product mixed with alcohol, and it could possibly make you rich beyond your wildest dreaaams!! but the cocacola situation is probably well know among the soft drink industries, so i'm not sure they'll go for it... |

I am more partial to Schmaltzle. |
