So today was “Guess Everybody’s Favorite Beverage” day. Participants resourceful enough to remember to grab something from the fridge this morning all brought in the drink of their choice; the forgetful ran out and got their representative beverage at lunch. The drinks are all now spread across the conference table here in the Design Department. A total of twenty. Each drink is numbered.
My guess:
1. Grey Goose Vodka = JANET
2. Mountain Dew = SEAN
3. Water and lemon = CLAUDIA
4. Black currant tea = HERBERT
5. V8 = JENNIFER H.
6. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale = DUH
7. Lion Chocolate Mocha = DOUG
8. Red Bull = DAVE C.
9. Pepsi and Grey Goose = DAVE R.
10. Trader Joe’s Sparkling Pomegranate = JENNIFER N.
11. Diet Pepsi = MARK
12. Cherry Coke = GRACE
13. Starbucks Americano = FAYE
14. Epoca Cool = LAUREN
15. Orchid Mandarin Orange Drink = DANIEL
16. Stewart’s Ginger Beer = GINA
17. Schweppe’s Bitter Lemon = PEGGY
18. A fountain soda from Del Taco = ALAN
19. Dr. Pepper = WENDY
20. A fountain soda from Carl’s Jr. = GEORGE

I came out four for twenty, not including my own, which is actually four for nineteen. That’s better than one in five. Batting just over .200; right on the Mendoza Line.

What’s amazing is that there was only one duplicate.
It is, isn’t it? Moral of the story: There’s plenty of opportunity for niche marketing in the beverage industry.
