Why Soda's Decline Represents an Opportunity to Revolutionize the Beverage Sector
5:14 pm ET December 18, 2018 (Benzinga) Print
Soda’s decline represents an incredible opportunity to disrupt the beverage sector
For over a decade now Big Soda companies have been struggling with a threat to their very existence. Soda sales have been on the decline for more than 12 years in a row while bottled water sales have skyrocketed, growing by 6.2% in 2017. It looks like Big Alcohol companies are likely to face similar challenges as alcohol sales have declined for the second year in a row. This trend is particularly pronounced in states where marijuana has been legalized, even states that have only legalized medical marijuana states have seen a 15% reduction in alcohol sales.
At first glance this is grim reading, but adversity is opportunity in disguise. While PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) and The Coca-Cola Company’s (NYSE: KO) have seen their homegrown brands decline they’ve scrambled to acquire innovative products. Coke alone has acquired 400 new brands since 2014 and looks set to continue this trend with its recent acquisitions of the Costa Coffee chain and small beverage producer Moxie.
Big brands don’t innovate, they acquire
The reality is that big companies generally struggle with innovation. This forces them to acquire brands from elsewhere. This represents a huge opportunity for smaller brands who are able to build highly focused niche beverage offerings that the bigger players simply can’t. This has created a unique window of opportunity for small beverage companies, and their investors.
Take the Alkaline Water Co. (OTCQB: WTER) (TSX-V: WTER). This health-focused bottled water company turned traditional sales strategies on their heads by skipping convenience stores and going straight for big retailers. This approach saw The Alkaline Water Company has make $19.8 million in sales revenue in 2018 with $40 million in revenue projected for 2019.
The company is clearly looking to attract the attention of big players. Not only do they still have the convenience store market completely open to them, providing a huge amount of potential organic growth, but on December 4th they announced their approval to uplist to the NASDAQ stock market.
Soluble cannabis offers further opportunities.
The same company has also tapped into the changes affecting the alcohol industry. The company also launched the A88 infused division whose goal is to create a CBD infused beverage. This taps into a going trend for millenials to eschew alcohol in favor of marijuana products. The marijuana beverage sector is set to be worth $600 million by 2020 and there are already some impressive developments in the space.
Big companies have already begun to take interest. For example Heineken's fast growing California beer label, Lagunitas, have launched Hi-Fi hops. The cannabis beverage comes in both a pure THC and a THC, CBD mix variety. This is part of a growing trend of established companies that have shown an interest in the marijuana sector. For example Constellation brands (NYSE: STZ) obtained a 9.9% stake in one of Canada’s largest marijuana companies, Canopy Growth (TSE: WEED), for just under $200 million.
Water soluble cannabis will set the sector on fire
The main problem facing the sector is cannabis solubility. Cannabis is normally extracted as oil which means that onset and offset times can be highly unpredictable and the emulsifiers often alter the taste of CBD or THC infused beverages.
As ever it is small companies that will solve this. Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CANADA: SPR.CN) (US: SRUTF) (GERMANY: 38G.F) have pioneered water soluble cannabis. By using advanced extraction technology Sproutly are able to gently extract cannabis directly into water. This ensures a reliable onset and offset time and Sproutly has already begun to share the technology with other innovators in the sector like the Alkaline Water Company.
Innovative companies make natural acquisition prospects
As the sector continues to grow large companies will let the likes of the Alkaline Water Co. and Sproutly do the innovation for them. This creates opportunity for investors who can spot the juiciest acquisition targets. Generally the likes of Coca-Cola and Pepsi will be looking for acquisitions that either offer something truly innovative or have an established brand with a loyal following.
Investors who can spot these companies before the industry giants have everything to gain from the death of Soda.

I saw that and another one with today's date on TD Ameritrade Bud site researching news links. Bouncing back and forth from sites... I could be mistaken on the date. Anything is possible when I get overly excited.
Either way it brings a lot of attention to all the players and is good news. I do believe there is something brewing and we just have to wait it out.
Fingers crossed and still want a big divy player to buy us out.
Nope and it was dated today. Hmmmmmm confused now what is Brewing that we don't know about.
I just went back to Buds site and the PR was removed. I'm going to see if I can recover it.

Alkame makes a hangover helper drink..! You should order yours now and see how well it works.
Then when you send your kids off to the colleges they will tell friends and frats etc,,, they can get drunk and not have a hangover! I remember those keg parties and quarters games. Oh the next 2 days after where like walking dead...
(Dogs don't drink... much! LOL And I don't have puppies that I know of)
We will see a run like none before! IMO Ha ha it's almost a scary thought.
go ALKM
The suspense...... ! Low market cap, countless products, massive contracts, legal hemp, global reach.
Pinch me! Slap me! Poor cold water on me! Stick my finger in the socket!
Left Santa a fat joint and now all I hear is.. Ho, Ho, Ho.... Green Giant!
ALKM
Might have to peck at few ideas Birdy... I could handle it your way. Sounds easy and fun.
After the new year when the Hemplife Today Ambassadors goes live online, my coffers will be overflowing with green! Plus the insane appreciation of our stock price will be a bonus.
UBQU excited me when they announced the online set up. I have multiple domains that will generate "Mail Box" money once the new year begins. It can't get here fast enough!!
At 55 I am over busting ass and just want to make a shit load of money so I can do what makes me happy. It's simple, I like to help people get back on their feet and the money I make from Hemplife Today/UBQU will fund it. I chose to be an ambassador because of what they can do in the future and what they are doing now.
Off topic note
If you donate to charity make sure you know where you money goes. I give direct to a person in need and cut the middleman out. Not much different than investing in OTC gotta know what the CEO does with your money so I hand it out myself.
GLTA UBQU
I think your right.. When I was corporate we NEVER got shit done on half days. It was a paid party and everyone wanted to go home. In the restaurant business I felt bad and we closed half days on Eve and full on Christmas and other special days so employees could enjoy what the bosses did. A full day off.
Never did get the half day idea either except on Saturdays. Good luck on the games I suck at the odds.!
I'm leaving pizza, beer and a nice fat joint for Santa's Elves... They do all the work! ;) The old man gets CBD oil!
Just enjoy life UBQU
I read that they have to develop drinks still. NO products yet???
Santa Earkle are you hiding something under the Christmas tree like a multi-billion dollar deal with a dividend paying company?
I don't want to have to think anymore I want STUPID MONEY! :) Why because smart money bet on ALKM. ;) ;)
Anybody can have a wish list, Santa Earkle that's on the top of mine!
Sign it already ... 15 minutes to the closing bell!
10 billion plus shares too. No reason why can't fly
No politics I am off that subject..
I love our President.. he might not say the best things (in fact he doesn't) or make everyone happy (pisses em off more like) but he is our Pres. Poke a little fun sure but don't hate on him.
After all without him or any other political figure what would the late night TV hosts have to talk about? Nothing! LOL
lets just Go UBQU and grow money trees in our back yards.
CBD might help President Trumps ADHD and perhaps his twitter addiction according to the Surgeon Generals latest ranting tweet.
Wow Bloomberg has Tilray CEO and they talk of developing CBD drinks and we have them ...WTF we should be a $20 pus stock. they don't even have product yet! LOL
Investors buy air while we sell water. Go ALKM
I think it is still early... why? Simple the soft roll out just started and it takes time to gain traction and the word to spread. I do my part and educate doctors when i have visits and leave them with what I can print out and bring in my device. Some are fascinated others as clueless as a light-bulb. Smart ones embrace it is all I will say. I think we will see positive results by summer sometime. Not gonna call a date or bs just think the tide is turning and will slowly rise.
That really looks good!
Hurry up and get it on the Texas shelves. We have EverX locally now I want that Bloody Mary Mixer! I don't even drink much so it will have to be a CBD Virgin Bloody Mary ;)
Folks forget about that "Wow I could had a V-8". From now on drink this CBD Bloody Mary Mix and your be running on all 12 cylinders and never think about that slow ass v-8 again!
Go AlKM
Anxieties are high today.... I'm about to down half a bottle! 2:30 EST is a long wait /:-
I'm pumped and already looking for a new bay house with a boat lift and a pool for Ghost!!!
Optimistic you bet! The boat is next
It's real easy to sign up with a bunch of CBD producers for Free or a small annual membership.. I've contacted while label producers also. When you have to put skin in the game you get the more serious players. W
Wholesale and warehouse business model inventories can run into the hundreds of thousands or more to stock up a good selection and then hire a sales team. I've been looking into them and not sure if its the way to go.
These online concepts are much easier to manage and can be more profitable via SEO plus virtually no over head or sick days. The key is the right product at the right time. IMO. Lots of competition but quality always sells. Hemplife Today and CannazALL are quality products.
I have faith in this company and it's products. No complaints from any customers and word of mouth is gaining traction. It's one of the easiest sales I have ever made.
I am an Ambassador and have a couple websites related to Hemplife and CannazALL ;) Shhhhhhh my intention is to let the websites do the work while I enjoy my life.
I'll disclose them once we get live and they are all up and going. Can you say CASH MACHINE!!!
Thought about opening a CBD Warehouse but why? Rather travel with Ghost and collect $$$
Might help? My dog is a barker and seems to be barking a little less. Might be anxiety it is helping him with or just chilling his fur brain out. Not sure but what ever it is doing he is being a better dog for sure. I read the worse thing that might happen is the dog gets sleepy. That would shut him up and probably make him your best friend.!!!
I've sold 4 bottles to pet owners for 3 anxiety and one for seizures. Positive feedback. Pretty exciting. I just tell them start with 1-2 drops and not a dropper full till they see results. Dogs seem to like it.
My cat won't touch the peppermint. Might need tuna or Chicken flavored CBD for her. What do you think James? Tuna flavored CBD for cats? :)
He can sit with a treat in front of him for over 5 minutes.. wines a bit about it but Huskys are vocal.
Ghost dog is now being picky about his treats! I put a few drops of CBD on one and now he looks at the bottle and waits for me to put them on. Cracks me up but it chills him out and he apparently loves how it makes him feel.
I'm using the 250mg bottle that came in the starter pack with 2-3 drops per treat. Crazy that he knows that it comes from that little bottle. Can't fool him. So looking forward to the dog treats for Ghost.
Gonna be an exciting day today! History in the making Go Hemplife Go UBQU $$$$$$$$.
Money Tree planted ;)
$$UBQU$$$ "Let the Machine Speak"
Feel free to add the word CASH before machine ;)
Quoted from one of my favorite local bands ZZ-Top!
No issues signing into my Ambassadors page. Products are selling and I am getting positive reviews. I'm good!
Hurry up and sign the farm bill Mr Pres., the world is waiting on Legalization of Industrial HEMP and CBD on American soil...
Big M&A's happening. I don't see our name but I can see we may be a future target for perhaps a foreign company. We can only hope for the best.
