MEDFORD, Ore., Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Human Bean drive-thrus across the U.S. are inviting customers to “drink pink” on Friday, October 20th for the company’s annual Coffee for a Cure breast cancer giveback event. All food and beverage proceeds on this day — at The Human Bean locations throughout the country — will be donated to local breast cancer foundations.

This is the coffee company’s largest nationwide fundraiser of the year, held each October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In 2020, the latest year with complete statistics available, there were 239,612 new cases of female breast cancer reported in the United States, resulting in 42,273 deaths (according to CDC data).

“Since we started this giveback program, The Human Bean family has lost a barista, a franchise owner, and family members and friends to breast cancer,” says Rhonda Hawkins, co-founder of The Human Bean. “With each year’s Coffee for a Cure event, the aim is to help reduce these numbers and show our unwavering support.”

Since 2005, The Human Bean’s Coffee for a Cure giveback program has raised over $3 million. The Human Bean locations will each donate 100% of food and beverage sales to local foundations that a drive-thru owner has chosen to partner with. These funds can be used to help with preventive scans, education, and patient support while going through treatment. 

The Human Bean drive-thrus are also adding flavor to the cause this year with Cherry Blossom themed specialty drinks:

Cherry Blossom Cold Foam
This cold brew shines bright with an infusion of rich vanilla and creamy cherry cold foam on top.

Cherry Blossom Latte 
A classic, creamy latte warmed with velvety vanilla and sweet cherry flavor — because everything tastes better with cherry on top!

Cherry Blossom Smoothie 
Premium vanilla and luscious cherry swirl together in a creamy, thick smoothie. It’s an extra-sweet twist on a timeless classic.

There will also be limited edition Coffee for a Cure merchandise available for sale at drive-thru locations, and additional donations from online purchases will be tallied toward the cause. Customers are invited to spread awareness by tagging #CoffeeForACure on Instagram while sharing their own stories and photos.

Introducing Bikini Island: A Spirits-Based, Ready-to-Drink Canned Cocktail with Nuclear Flavor

Party Like It’s the End of the World with Four Explosive Flavors and only 100 Calories per Can

Published

on

LOUISVILLE, Ky. /PRNewswire/ — Bikini Island has now landed, and it’s here to deliver nuclear flavor! The new line of ready-to-drink cocktails contains 5% ABV and just 100 calories per can. Launching with four refreshingly bold flavors, Bikini Island offers consumers a better-for-you RTD that features real spirits and explosive taste.

Bikini Island will launch in select markets mid-April, and nationwide later this year, retailing at $19.99 for a Variety Pack of eight canned cocktails featuring four explosive flavors: Citrus Charge – vodka based, Blue Razz Explosion – vodka base, Watermelon Blast – tequila based, and Nuclear Pineapple – rum based.

With the spirits-based RTD category growing 55% in the last year alone, consumers are showing a clear preference for premiumization in addition to seeking out full-flavor (IWSR, 2023). There is an opportunity in the better-for-you space with current options lacking excitement and flavor. Consumers want the real deal with spirits-based products and when picking something off the shelves, however, they’re often forced to pick between great tasting flavor or lower calorie option – until now.

“Consumers are leading more health-conscious lifestyles, but that doesn’t mean they want to sacrifice fun or flavor,” said Don Deubler, CEO of Atomic Brands. “We saw a unique opportunity to capitalize on the white space and set out to do the seemingly impossible for consumers: create a low cal, spirits-based RTD that still packs a ton of nuclear flavor.”

“Aside from new items representing the largest share of sales within the RTD category, we know multipacks are shown to increase consumer’s average annual spend and trips to stores over 2x” said Deubler. “Bikini Island is an explosive brand and we’re excited to see the response!”

Inspired by the historical events at Bikini Island in the 1940’s and 50’s that led the world into the atomic and nuclear era, Bikini Island Cocktail Company is now bringing the seltzer world into explosive nuclear flavors at 100 calories a can.
