Nabidh

Nabidh or Nabeedh is a drink traditionally made from fruits such as raisins/grapes or dates. Nabidh may be non intoxicating, mildy intoxicating, or heavily intoxicating depending on the level of fermentation.

Nabidh was one of the drinks the Islamic prophet Muhammad forbade Muslims to drink.

Abu Hurayrah narrates of the drink:

I knew that the Apostle of Allah used to keep fast. I waited for the day when he did not fast to present him the drink (nabidh) which I made in a pumpkin. I then brought it to him while it fermented. He said: Throw it by this wall, for this is a drink of the one who does not believe in Allah and the Last Day.

Nabidh is known to start turning alcoholic after two to three days, depending on the surrounding conditions. Nabidh is allowed in the Hanafi madhhab in non-intoxicating amounts. According to the hadith collection by Imam Malik Ibn Anas, it is forbidden to "prepare Nabidh in a gourd or in a jug smeared with pitch."

Rufus of Ephesus (fl. 100 AD) wrote a tract on the beverage Nabîdh, which Qusta ibn Luqa in his times translated into Arabic by the name Risâlah fī al-Nabidh. In 2007, after collecting and collating copies of this manuscript from different libraries across the world, Hakim Syed Zillur Rahman again reintroduced and published this rare work in Urdu and Arabic.

Arab writer Ibn Fadlan describes an encounter on the Volga with a people he calls "rusiyyah," who may have been either Russians or Vikings. He relates how the rusiyyah would drink an alcoholic drink he refers to by the name "nabidh". It is not clear what drink it actually was, but from context it is clear that it was intoxicating.

Ready to drink (often known as RTD) packaged beverages are those sold in a prepared form, ready for consumption. This contrasts with packaged beverages that are sold in forms that require preparation, for example iced tea (which can also be prepared using tea leaves and fruit juice) and alcopops (which can be prepared by mixing alcoholic beverages with fruit juices or soft drinks).

There are different types of RTD beverages, each serves a different purpose, the most notable ones are:

Alcopops are mainly ready made alcoholic cocktails that are carbonated and bottled under various brand names. Alcopops are the most commonly consumed type of RTD in the world after iced tea. It is also important to note that Alcopops are banned in some countries due to religious and cultural reasons, which do not permit the consumption of alcohol. A number of studies have linked the marketing of alcopops to increased incidences of underage drinking.

The industry term for this range of products is flavored malt beverage or progressive adult beverage. The majority sold in the US, are essentially flavored beer.

Alcopops can be based on different types of spirits and liquors, such as vodka-based or rum-based.

Answer 5

Relaxation drink

A relaxation drink is a non-alcoholic beverage containing calming ingredients normally found in nature. It is a functional beverage which serves to calm a person but unlike other calming beverages such as tea, relaxation drinks almost universally contain more than one active ingredient. Relaxation drinks may be served chilled and carbonated. Others have now been introduced in shot-form.

The concept of relaxation drink first emerged from Japan in 2005 when a group of products were introduced to the market enriched with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). In 2007, a couple group of kitesurfers from Kāneʻohe Bay and Lanikai beach of O'ahu Hawai'i developed a drink which they dubbed the relaxation drink with their own formula containing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), L-Theanine and L-Threonine providing similar calming effects found in kava or valerian roots (rhizo) which later became known as lanilai. Lani is a common Hawaiian word meaning 'sky' or 'heaven' and lai means 'calm after the storm', and hence Lanilai carries the meaning of 'heavenly calm'. Kava roots are well known in the Pacific Islands and mostly grown in Tonga and Fiji. Kava is known to be used for social rituals and celebrations. Melatonin is another major ingredients found in relaxation drinks which also carry some controversy due to negative effects from long term use. Relaxation drinks have been known to contain other natural ingredients. Common ingredients in relaxation drinks may contain kava root, melatonin, valerian root, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), Chamomile, Melissa officinalis, L-Theanine, L-Threonine, 5-Hydroxytryptophan or Passiflora. Relaxation drinks are usually free of caffeine and alcohol but some have claimed to contain marijuana.

Answer 6

Sego (diet drink)

Sego was a US meal replacement diet drink formally marketed by Pet, Inc. (at the time Pet Milk) as Sego Liquid Diet Food. Introduced in 1961 and selling for approximately US25¢ each, Sego sales registered US$22 million to the company's Milk Products Division by 1965.

The name Sego derived from a Salt Lake City-based company, Sego Milk Products Company, that Pet Milk had purchased in 1925.

Sold in 10-ounce cans, before the advent of aluminum cans or cans with pull tabs, the beverages were available in flavors including Chocolate, Chocolate Coconut, Chocolate Malt, Vanilla, Strawberry, Banana and Orange—each providing 900 calories (initially, and subsequently 225 calories). Marketed under the taglines "See the calories go with Sego" and "Sego, it's great for your ego," Pet advertised the drinks being "thicker" and as having 10% more protein and 2 more ounces than other 900 calorie foods—e.g., Metrecal, its predecessor in the market and the market leader—asserting that protein "helps control hunger." In 1966, milk chocolate, caramel fudge and butter pecan flavors became available, and Pet Milk subsequently offered Sego branded pudding and soup—and, later still, diet bars.

By 1961, there were more than 100 meal replacement products on the U.S. market, and Sego competed with such products as Metrecal and Figurines by Pillsbury, and was ultimately superseded in the market place by such liquid diet drinks as Slimfast.

In the 2010 book The Hundred Year Diet, author Susan Yager called Sego "baby formula mixed water and a poor substitute for food."

Noted actress Tippi Hedren was discovered by Alfred Hitchcock while shooting a television commercial for Sego on the Today Show. Hedren later described the spot as "a story line; it wasn't just holding up a product and talking about it. It was a story and apparently he (Hitchcock) saw it."

Answer 8

Smart drink

Smart drinks, also known as nootropic drinks, are beverages made from a mix of fruit juices, vitamins, herbal supplements, and a variety of amino acid supplements.

The consumption of smart drinks and "smart drugs" began in the early 1980s when baby boomers started using because they believed these products would improve job performance and give them a competitive edge in the workplace. The popularity of smart drinks peaked during the early 1990s, as all-night techno and house music parties took place, events of the underground dance culture at the time, known as "raves." Rave enthusiasts preferred drugs such as Ecstasy, methamphetamine, ketamine, or "poppers" to alcohol. Instead of drinking alcoholic beverages at raves, the dancers would drink smart drinks. Smart drinks not only held a novelty factor for the vibrant social subculture, but they also helped rave promoters by eliminating the need to secure alcohol sales permits and therefore allowed raves to be held outside of the traditional nightclub, bar or pub scene.

Smart drink ingredients often include substances such as DL-phenylalanine or L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, choline (trimethylaminoethanol), pyroglutamic acid, B vitamins, glucuronolactone, and DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol). These amino acids were claimed to have positive or enhanced effects on alertness, stress resistance and energy levels. Some of the acids, then considered "foods" and nutritional supplements by government agencies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), changed in status and have since been removed from store shelves. Others are still available when prescribed by a doctor.

Starbucks collectibles

Starbucks Collectibles are products manufactured by Starbucks Corporation and include Starbucks' cards, Starbucks' mugs, Starbucks' posters, and almost anything and everything manufactured or printed by Starbucks Corporation. The Starbucks Collectibles secondary market has existed since the inception of Starbucks and the Starbucks card collectible trading market has existed since the first Starbucks card was manufactured in 2001. In the month of May 2013, there were between 26,000 and 37,000 Starbucks' item auctions on eBay every day. In the summer of 2013, auctions for Starbucks rose to over 40,000 auctions daily.

Starbucks Corporation has watched the secondary market trading its cards for more than a decade on eBay and capitalized on the market by introducing the Starbucks Steel card limited release of 5,000 in 2012. According to Forbes, “The Starbucks Steel Card is Now Selling For More Than Twice Its Face Value On EBay”. The highest price ever paid for a single Starbucks card not loaded with money value was $10,277.00 on January 27, 2011 despite the fact that the card was only ten years old which rivals the value of a 1940 Joe DiMaggio Baseball card which is set at $1,265.74. www.buckscards.com has posted the issuance of every single card manufactured by Starbucks Corporation since its inception in 2001, from every single country in the world.

Starbucks Corporation actually boosts the secondary market by creating mugs and cards that are regional. For instance, in 2013, there were regional cards only released in the city on the card. These included New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Boston, Chicago, and the first county card for Orange County, California. This creates a frenzy of buying as collectors swarm to buy from other cities across the U.S. on eBay. Starbucks also released that year a series of mugs along the same lines with their "You Are Here" mug collection so that collectors again had to resort to eBay to get a complete collection. Starbucks promotes these releases on their blog.

Another section of the Starbucks secondary market that is fast-growing is the resale of Partner (the term for a Starbucks employee) items. This includes the resale of Partner cards, Partner reward pins, Partner booklets, Partner hats and aprons, and Starbucks stickers and stamps.

A similar collector movement that gained momentum as quickly happened with Disneyana in the 1980s.

Answer 10

Sweetened beverage

A sweetened beverage is any beverage with added sugar. They have been described as "liquid candy." Consumption of sweetened beverages has been linked to weight gain, obesity, and associated health risks.

Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs) have been introduced into the market in non-caloric drinks such as diet sodas. These artificial sweeteners are popular due to the growing demand for alternatives to sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). These sweeteners are more potent than regular, natural sugars. NNSs have shown to help short-term weight loss initiatives, but they don't show significance in the long-term. Recent studies have been conducted to see whether or not NNSs pose a great risk for the development of certain diseases. One such study researched the effect of NNSs with cardiovascular disease. The research was taken using post menopausal women. Women who consumed two or more diet drinks (containing NNSs) were found to be 30% at risk for cardiovascular disease. There has been a decline in liquid calories due to the introduction of NNSs.

A number of studies suggest that there is a significant correlation between increased consumption of sweetened beverages and weight gain leading to obesity. There has also been an association between consumption of sweetened beverages and health risks such as coronary heart disease and diabetes. Due to negative health effects of overconsumption of sweetened beverages, a sweetened beverage tax (soda tax) has been recommended by the Institute of Medicine in 2009.

Some countries have tried to reduce sugary beverages in an effort to bring liquid caloric intake down. Mexico placed a tax on SSBs in 2014. Drinks that were not taxed included drinks with NNSs, milk with no added sugar, and water. Other governments are active in placing policy on school lunches or what is being offered in school cafeterias in regards to beverages. Governmental activity is trying to eventually slow down the obesity epidemic.
