While National Beverage doesn't break out sales figures for individual brands, together LaCroix, Everfresh juices, and Rip It energy drinks grew 35 percent year over year in winter , according to a recent financial disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission. And that's in the winter. Given that LaCroix is really a summer drink, the biggest sales gains may be yet to come.
Its year-old founder, Nick Caporella , is now a late-in-life billionaire. And he's not done yet. Caporella promised shareholders that will be the company's "break-out year":. Each and every month, momentum is fueled through magnifying distribution, controlled launching of theme extensions, healthier beverages and the luring into our fold. Bronner's soap, that's a fairly lucid sentence.
But behind the eccentric, press-shy founder is a nimble marketing machine. The brand sponsored Susan G. Komen for the Cure walks to fight breast cancer and paid the authors of fitness-oriented motherhood blogs to write posts proclaiming their love for LaCroix.
They offered Tory Burch bags as a giveaway. Being approved by the Whole 30 program, whose dieters are encouraged to share their meals on social media, nudged more cans of LaCroix into Instagram feeds. But it was another group of LaCroix drinkers, ones the company doesn't seem to have courted at all, who gave it prime cultural real estate.
The forces that shape our cultural references, deciding what will be a shorthand for trendiness on blogs and painstakingly documented in the New York Times style section, can seem mysterious.
But the answer is stupidly obvious: If you want to be written about, win over a bunch of writers. Joe Mande, a writer on Parks and Rec, promoted LaCroix so relentlessly in and that he begged the brand to make him their official spokesperson.
LaCroix not only declined but issued a cease-and-desist letter. If you want to be written about, win over a bunch of writers. Sparkling water "was like a HUGE part of my job at every place I've ever worked at," Ryan Rosenberg, who worked as an assistant in TV writers' rooms in the early s, told me over email.
Rosenberg could detail the specific water preferences of every group of writers where he worked. Most drank bottled Perrier, an annoying task because the bottles were heavy and because when supplies ran low, assistants were expected to drop everything to order more. That was a decisive moment. From then on, "we ordered LaCroix from OfficeMax and it saved my life," said Rosenberg, now a performer and writer for the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade.
I like to imagine that once LaCroix was easily available, some starry-eyed Midwestern transplants working low-level jobs jumped at the chance to stock a taste of home. But it's possible that, like Rosenberg, they were just grateful to stop lugging around heavy boxes of Perrier bottles. Either way, LaCroix quickly became the drink of choice for Los Angeles writers. And in March , one of them gave LaCroix its highest-profile endorsement yet.
Choi wrote in the New York Times Magazine. LaCroix sparkling water is absolutely delicious. It's lunchtime and I have only drank one La Croix so far today. It's been fun seeing all of the morning coffee drawings pour in on the creativelive 28tomake challenge.
Now it's afternoon and not too late to join in! Draw your afternoon drinks! Link in profile. LaCroix has become more than just a popular sparkling water. The internet bursts with ways for LaCroix devotees, like sports fans or SoulCycle converts, to declare their loyalty. Prasertong, the food blogger, ran across a website selling enamel LaCroix pins after she wrote that the seltzer was "taking over the world.

Fred US English. One study found linalool exhibited an anticancer effect and could be used in colon cancer therapy. This substance is found in ginger, lavender, and sage plants—all, uh, natural plants. And, spoiler alert—it could have positive cancer fighting properties.
You may have heard this, but it's not true. Here's a true and, admittedly, still scary-sounding statement: LaCroix contains an ingredient that's also found in cockroach insecticide. That'd be linalool, by the way. But guess what's also found in some insecticides? Lavender, a safe-to-ingest natural substance. As Popular Science points out, the fact alone that a natural chemical is in an unnatural product doesn't make it harmful.
You've probably heard of BPA in relation to plastics and metals in general: It's often used to coat containers that hold food, and trace amounts can seep into the food or drink itself. Some states, like California , have classified BPA as a toxic chemical that could cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Is that like Santana DVX? I can dig it! Toss me one stud muffinator! Do you have any -add ritzy sparkling water brand name- example: Perrier, S.
I was wondering when pee would be put in a drink!
