Consumers are now able to buy RUDY! RUDY! Flying Colors(tm) and Rudy Revolution(tm) by the case at www.buyrudydrinks.com.
"While initial product roll-out is being targeted to specific areas of the country, the signing of this distribution agreement will make RBI's special, low-sugar, low-calorie drinks available to consumers throughout the continental United States," said Drew Carver, president and co-founder of RBI. "Based on the large amount of requests we've already received through our Web site, it's obvious that parents and consumers are actively searching for healthier alternatives to the sugar-laden beverages currently on the market, and now our specialty drinks are available to them."
