1. Did you know that women are getting more and more beautiful? According to the scientists the evolution is driving women to become prettier. What's interesting is that they also state that beautiful women have more children and a major part of them are female. Those daughters will become attractive as well and the pattern repeats. Therefore attractive parents are less likely to have sons. According to Gayle Brewer, a psychology lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, said: “Men and women seek different things in their partners. “For women, looks are much less important in a man than his ability to look after her when she is pregnant and nursing, periods when women are vulnerable to predators. Historically this has meant rich men tend to have more wives and many children. So the pressure is on men to be successful.”
Wow.

2. Coca-Cola has just launched in the US a new drink which is a mixture of milk (yes, yes!), sparkling water, flavoured with fruit and sweetened with cane sugar! For new it has been introduced only in New York and costs £1.50 a bottle. One of Coke's copywriters claims it tastes "like a birthday party for a polar bear". It's called VIO and comes in 4 natural flavours: peach mango, berry, citrus and tropical colada and could be even marketed as a healthy nutritional drink (it has the same amount of sugar as the Diet Coke, i.e. 26g/bottle), with no artificial flavours, preservatives or sweeteners and offers 15% of daily calcium intake and antioxidant vitamin C. The producers promise that if it becomes a success in the US, it can be launched globally.
Knowing my love for milk (I always have my coffee with milk, have cornflakes with milk everyday for breakfast and eat 1-2 yoghurts a day) I'd be so curious to taste this drink! Well, and what do you think? I'm sure Sarah has already tried things like this in Japan... they're so much ahead in everything!

ReplyDeleteMediaCurves.com just conducted a study with 30 male viewers of a recent CNN video discussing the new Coke Vio beverage line.

The study also found that 66% of viewers do not think this beverage will be successful among consumers.
