Since it is made with Cane Sugar, wouldn’t that make it EBT eligible in Louisiana?

I always remember 10-K having a little bit of a burn going down. Was not as good as Gatorade back then in my opinion. But, I tried one today and it’s definitely better than it used to be. I think it’s better than Gatorade today for sure. My son had the blue one and I had fruit punch. Both really good.

Gatorade in the can in the late 80s/early 90s is the real GOAT.

1 individual owner who bought the 10K name from DS Waters (parent company that owns Kentwood Spring Water). He hasn’t gone public with his name as I agreed to respect his privacy. Owner reached out to my family since my father created 10K powder and most of the original liquid flavors.

I’d advise your dad to be careful dealing with that owner. He’s the shadiest dude on earth.

My father passed away from cancer in June 2025. All we’ve shared with the new owner is personal memories and 10K merchandise that we’ve had since 1984 when the product became reality.

Sorry about losing your father. Any word on if they plan on doing the Pink Lemonade?

He’s recvd hundreds of requests for everything from 5-gallon coolers, water bottles, multiple flavors, glass bottles, merchandise, etc … IMO the business has to crawl before it can walk. Owner has already spent a lot of money without seeing any profit since 10K just launched 1 week ago.

Might be a bigger market in Merchandising than the drink itself.

Interesting, according to Wikipedia the brand was purchased by a New Orleans company. It was a national brand until the plug was pulled in 2002.

Am I the only person that liked Clear Pepsi? I thought it was genius. Wish they’d bring that back.

Surge/Mello Yello/RC also staples of that generation
