That would imply that anybody thought there was a market for "relaxation beverages".

at one time no one thought there was a market for energy drinks. look at it now.

How hard do you think it would be for Red Bull, Coke, Pepsi, etc. to come up with a similar product

it is more cost efficient to let a smaller company do the leg work then simply buy them out. big companies do it all the time.

...if they thought it would sell? It won't and they know it, so why would they bother?

because eventually it will sell. it is called being foward looking. the more foward looking into future markets a company is the more likely they are to remain largely successful. stagnancy by any company usually means they will be left behind. not good for any wishing to stay competetive. in short, there may only be a very small market for calming drinks now but most successful companies got there by looking to the future and things to come. that is not my opinion, it is a fact.
