STARBUCKS BAYA ENERGY MANGO GUAVA FLAVOR

Earlier this morning we were paid a visit by our local Pepsi G.M. Mr. Joe Dabney and he came bearing gifts! He brought all kinds of great Pepsi and Starbucks products for us to enjoy including the all-new BAYA Energy.

It should be available starting sometime early next week so keep an eye out for it. It will come in three different flavors: Mango Guava, Pineapple Passionfruit, and Raspberry Lime. All three tasted GREAT but for me, the Pineapple Passionfruit is the absolute BEST. You'll definitely have to try it out for yourself!

Each flavor also contains "caffeine that's naturally found in coffee fruit along with antioxidants and vitamin C for immune support." So you get a great taste, some energy, and immune support all at the same time!

From what we're hearing they'll cost around $2.89 for a 12oz can. Here's the cool part, it's only 90 calories per can and each can is loaded with around 160mg of caffeine to help you get through the workday.

The side of the can describes the new BAYA Energy. "Power your day with 160mg of caffeine naturally found in the fruit of the coffee plant. Delightfully refreshing, packed with fruity flavors and bubbles, without any coffee flavor. Taste how Starbucks does energy." All three flavors are fantastic, but the Pineapple Passionfruit is EPIC! We should start seeing them in stores and at Starbucks next week sometime.

A BIG THANKS to Mr. Joe Dabney of Pepsi Co. for stopping by today and bringing all the samples, we really appreciate it. The entire office is refreshed and energized. Thanks too for all the killer Pepsi swag, awesome shirts, and hoodies. We'll wear them with pride. I love the Pepsi workshirt and I've always wanted one!

If Oklahoma Was A Candle, What Would It Smell Like?

I think it's fair to say that each place you can visit has a distinctive smell. That being said, I don't think you can just easily cram Oklahoma into just one candle. There are so many different places that are diverse and unique. It's a loaded question beyond what most people can answer. Instead, here are a few different candles to represent the places I've lived and traveled to in Oklahoma.
