PET beer 'en masse'
The Martens Brewery of Bocholt, Belgium, has introduced their new Martens Low Carbohydrate. The brewery claims this imported beer has the lowest carbohydrate count of any other beer on the market with 2.1 grams of carbs per serving. "The response to this beer has been incredible," says Rick Davis.
Elite Brand Imports Vice President, Sales and Marketing. "Martens Low Carbohydrate has three huge benefits for consumers. It's got fewer carbs than any other beer, it's imported from Belgium, and it tastes like a regular, highcarb beer. "The beer is brewed and bottled in Belgium, and will be introduced to markets nationwide over the next several months.

Having now reached 180 million bottles per year, Belgian brewer Martens claims that surging demand from the German market means that its production of beer in barrier PET has now entered the realms of mass consumption.
Since late August, beer has surged onto the German market in 0.5l PET bottles. Economically competitive, these bottles are fiercely competing with glass bottles due to innovations like the bottle's light weight (28g), the magnitude of the production unit, and mass production volumes. The Belgian brewing company Martens chose Sidel equipment and technology to meet the production quotas.

Startup Sherpa: Serving Two Masters And Changing Consumer Behavior
Stickybits is an iPhone app which encourages you to check into products by scanning their barcodes. Originally, the idea behind Stickybits was broader and encouraged consumers to attach their own barcodes to objects and places, and use the app to upload photos, videos and messages which others can unlock by scanning the code. The app still does that, but the company recently pivoted to focus more on existing product barcodes and get brands to drive adoption through incentives and rewards.
Another challenge Stickybits faces is trying to get consumers to change their behavior. Scanning product barcodes is an unnatural act for most people, unless you are a grocery store cashier. But trying to change consumer behavior is a common problem many startups face. The key is to make it worth their while for consumers to do what your product asks of them, as Chasen and Dixon discuss in the video below.

Juice Media Rap News, with Robert Foster. Episode 6 of the Investigative Rap Journalism has dropped: December 2010 and Cablegate has burst open. With a steady trickle of Diplomatic communiques leaking out every single day, the Book of Revelations is expanding dramatically. In all the hubbub, the global community is forced to ask questions of its leaders. At the same time, perhaps a stronger focal point for international attention is the Wikileaks leader, the elusive Julian Assange, whose impact on the global scene is testing the limits of freedom of the press. How will governmental representatives from North America, Europe and the Middle East react to having their dirty laundry leaked? Is it all just an insidious Blue Beam Psi-Ops plot hypnotically seeded by MK Ultra, the Rhodes Scholars and the TriLateral Commission? Will the world ever be the same again? Join your affable host Robert Foster, as he executes a rhyme inquisition on some of the key players in the Wiki-saga. It's diplomatic Rhym-aggedon...
