I am a beverage visionary, but I don't know if I can prove it. In the early years of this blog, I wrote a post about what kinds of drinks I'd like to see in the future. Caffeinated beer. Vitamin-enriched soft drinks. There were many more, but I've switched servers since then and can't find the original post to see what else I envisioned. I remember these two because they have become available recently. Anheuser-Busch launched Bud Extra in the U.S. after success with BE (same caffeinated beer, different name) in the UK and Canada. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll be on the lookout on my next beer run. I'm a bit wary of ginseng in my beer, but it could be the beer I've been searching for. Has anyone else tried it?

Diet Coke + One-a-Day multivitamin = Diet Coke Plus, a vitamin-fortified soft drink to be launched this spring. It's supposed to be the same Diet Coke formula with added vitamins and minerals. Moms across the land will be asking their kids, "Did you remember to drink your Diet Coke Plus?"

I'll look for my first post to see what else we can look for from the beverage industry. Obviously, they read my post.
