"innovation fund" news and stories

Powdered and concentrated drink mixes are nothing new, but a product called Flavor Tops packs concentrates into screw-on caps designed for bottled waters. Customers can add the mouthpieces to bottled water (assuming the tops fit the bottle) and turn their water into sports drinks, teas, or even alcoholic beverages, according to a recent press release from PR Web. Flavor Tops were developed by Innovation Fund, LLC, and have apparently been licensed to a unnamed company that will have them on the market by early 2007. Aside from soft drinks, the caps may also serve as a way of keeping vitamins and medications fresh prior to infusing them into drinks, the release said.
