The Best ZEVIA Commercial Ever

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

We are so grateful to the many ZEVIA drinkers who take time to help us promote NATURE’S ANSWER TO DIET SODA. We just discovered a YouTube video that I think is the best customer-made ZEVIA promotion of all time. We don’t know the people who made it, and we didn’t put anybody up to it. This is a commercial for ZEVIA that a bunch of kids put together, and I don’t think we could have done a better job even if we had the budget to produce a Superbowl ad. And, if we could afford a Superbowl ad, I think we would just submit this video. Thanks, kids!

Refined ZEVIA Taste Just Weeks Away

ZEVIA’s sweetness comes mostly from stevia, an herb many times sweeter than sugar. We sourced the best tasting stevia (or so we thought).

We have always sought to make ZEVIA even better if possible. We often taste test with formula tweaks, and with other ingredients, including other types of stevia. These taste tests just reinforced that we already had the best formula possible — until now.

Beginning in March, ZEVIA will have the most significant flavor enhancement in our young history. Our next production will be with stevia that to our surprise tastes substantially better than the stevia we currently use. We didn’t think we could make it better, and we are ecstatic that the next version of ZEVIA will have the familiar taste you enjoy, with a much cleaner sweetness. The ZEVIA coming to you in 2009 will be labeled a “soda” as opposed to a “carbonated stevia supplement” due to new FDA approvals; and you will be amazed at how great it tastes. Of course, ZEVIA will always be 100% natural with zero calories.

Standby, we’re just a few weeks from launch of the ZEVIA that will be undisputedly the best tasting diet soda on the planet! Chill and Enjoy!

Kids Can’t Resist ZEVIA

Luke Loves ZEVIA

Luke Loves ZEVIA

Meet Luke (seen in photo above). He loves ZEVIA Natural Root Beer, and his parents feel great because they can allow Luke the pleasure of ZEVIA, without the harmful effects present in all other soda. ZEVIA has no sugar and no artificial sweeteners. ZEVIA is the only truly natural zero calorie soda, and it tastes great (just ask Luke, if you don’t believe me).

Kids cannot resist ZEVIA. They are the ultimate litmus test because they are honest and won’t drink something they don’t like. If you want to test the taste of ZEVIA before trying it, give it to a kid. All kids love ZEVIA — and so will you!

Nick and Ms. Chandler

Nick Matthews is a student at Flat Rock Middle School in Tyrone, Georgia. Karen Chandler is his health teacher (see photo of them above).

Nick discovered ZEVIA® after learning about the issues associated with artificial sweeteners and sugar. Ms. Chandler is “a HUGE advocate for good nutrition” but understands kids will not drink something unless it tastes fantastic. She decided to do an in-class taste test.

The results were unanimous. Flat Rock Middle Schoolers love ZEVIA, especially the cola! Thank you Nick and Ms. Chandler for the fun pictures and excellent feedback.
