John,
Since Alcohol is not on the “not allowed” list are they interested in drinks containing alcohol or do they want to remain in their area of speciality?

P.S. If they are interested in berverges containing alcohol I would like you to send me a job application for ‘product testing’ at EN. ;)

What if it’s got electrolytes?

BRAWNDO!

There is no way I’ll get anything to fly in this search. Keep in mind that I chew my vitamins, even though they aren’t “chewable vitamins”. If my tastebuds are any sort of trend setter, society is doomed. :)

I’m in trouble on this one. I pretty much drink water out of the tap. Oh and my Chai Latte’s from Starbucks. I’m going to hope my WestPoint does well cause this one’s not happening for me :) Good Luck to everyone!

Michael Diep may have this one hands down with his famous (BLUE DRINK)

Make that INFAMOUS blue drink Chic!

I have a drink I will put in. They want snacks too?

what is this blue drink?

Holly, that BYB is not happening for me either!

Tania,
It’s a reference to our Everyday Edisons Providence Casting Call. Do a search on the forums for “blue drink” or look Waaaaaaay back in this forum for more info: http://www.edisonnation.com/topics/216

Oh….that blue drink…good times…

I was just wanting to know about drinks containing juices. The search says no juice based drinks, but it also says list the ingrediends, does it contain fruit juice?

So can it have juice???

Cheryl, No alcohol allowed.

Jefferson, Your post was hilarious. You win extra points for that obscure movie reference. Wasn’t Idiocracy a Blockbuster Exclusive?

Tania, Yes, BYB Brands wants snacks too. They have the manufacturing and distribution capabilities to reach many convenience stores and grocery stores. That shelf space is your target.

Christine, Yes, it may contain juice, but it may not be a juice drink. Juice drinks include orange juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice… You may, however, create a beverage that is flavored with orange juice or cranberry juice… Does that make sense?

Hello Chic,

Nice to see that you are participating in this thread. Yes, to answer your question, I will have at least one entered for this LPS and it is fortunately not a blue drink.

The special mix for the blue drink is saved when we all get together for a “special” gathering and if you don’t know what I am referring to, then Daniel is a good person to start. We will definitely do it again in 2009 that is a must!!!

Good luck all to this search. Keep those great ideas coming. :-)))

So, the deadline is definitely December 3rd? In some locations on the site it says December 2nd.

This one is proving particularly difficult for me. Since my employers actually manufacture liquid vitamins and nutritional drinks, I have to come up with something my employers don’t want, but that BYB will want. So far I ran my last two ideas past top management and now my company will be launching them in January. How do you invent something that is good, but not too good? I think I may have to sit this one out. :(

That sounds like you’re between a jelly bean and a pillow to me, Raf. Tough situation, but neither outcome is too bad.

Now if only I could get some royalties!!!

Do muffins count as snacks?

John,

Another question…can it be something that is added to a beverage??

The deadline for this search is December 3rd @ midnight PST. *Edited time zone. It is now correct.*

Margaret,
Sure, I would include muffins as snacks. Also, I suppose the submission could be something added to a beverage. If you can visualize it on a shelf or in a cooler at a convenience store, then I believe it could be a fit for this search.

Hi John, thanks for the deadline date. I need one more clarification….you said midnight Eastern Standard Time, but the Thanksgiving email we received today said 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time. Is it midnight Eastern or Pacific time?

Thanks a bunch and Happy Thanksgiving!

Don’t bother with the beverage part of this one – ;-)) I already have it wrapped up with my entry today…

http://AtlasJuice.com/

Just kidding about having it wrapped up already – maybe I’ll make it all the way – let’s see…

Best of luck to all – and Happy Thanksgiving…

Joey Atlas

Joey – nice product
Except this search says….. "our only limitations: no colas, juice-based drinks, isotonics (such as POWERade or Gatorade) or beverages that need the word “water” in its defined name"

Joey,

I’m looking forward to trying Atlas Juice, but as for having the search “wrapped up”????….We’ll see about that. I went in a slightly different direction and can’t wait to what BYB thinks.

Good luck!

Becky

here’s another similar product. The website isn’t updated. The product is already out.

I too went in a different direction :-))

Thanks Michael! (see below)…

Thakns Becky!

Tania – good to see you in distribution – Especially Whole Foods! – I tip my hat to you bigtime!

Re:
""our only limitations: no colas, juice-based drinks, isotonics (such as POWERade or Gatorade) or beverages that need the word “water” in its defined name""

I’m still in the game… – Its not juice based…, its not an Isotonic at all… – and the name has flexibility – I have a few alternates ready to go.
(I know its not huge – but I made it to G2 yesterday)

Thanks for checking it out, – Good luck to everyone,
Joey

awwwwww that made me feel so good Joey! :-)

it’s not my product lol…just one I know of here in Canada.

I meant I went the other way from a water type drink.
I also agree that you are not juice based, no water in the name etc…good luck!:-)

Joey Atlas,

I’m scared… If apple Juice is made from Apples, and Orange Juice is made from oranges, What is Atlas Juice made from?

‘Proprietary’ formula, Mark… ;-)) (women love it)

Joey

Update: The BYB Brands search closes on Dec. 3 at midnight PST (Pacific Standard Time).

[Thanks to Kurt & Becky for pointing out the discrepancy.]

Thanks, John. That’s good news for all us westcoasters!

Just checking in on this thread. It’s 1:00am EST. Two hours left to submit to the BYB search. If anyone has any questions on this search, please repost here.

Bedtime. Good luck on this search.

John, get some sleep!

wait one more question

Anyone getting any movement?

nopers..nadda…nuting…no …nut’n… nay…none…non…zippo…nein…nao…HeT…nee…apiO…nr….and many more that my keyboard is not capable of.
maybe tomorrow? :-)

Ours have not moved since Thursday.

Hey, just got to G3! They’re alive. :)

Yep, our newest submission just went to G2. :)

Yahoo!!!! G2

Hi John do you know when is the deadline date that EN has until they present the final product to a company on the BYB search. Currently standing by at G4 thank yah!

Sam, I think it’s Jan 6

Oooops – sorry wrong LPS search.

Sam, we’re working out the BYB Brands presentation details this week. I will post the date as soon as I can.

John, on my latest BYB submission I have a green on number 4 with no checkmark and grey on 2 and 3. Anyone else having dashboard issues today?

Michael, Thanks for the note. I’m not sure what the problem is but the web guys are aware of it.

Anybody else get some recent movement? My drink idea went from G4 to G6.

Good job, Michael! Maybe ours will move tomorrow. We have 4 at G4.

We’re really excited about this search. Good luck to everyone else!

Michael can you send me a sample???
