This is the progess thread to the Journey of me developing a healthy and good tasting Soda with protein content.
Currently i want to have it be Vegan, non gmo, no sugar, mostly natural and with around 10 grams of protein per can.

The shit i have to do for this to be real is stupid. I spent hours and all of my allowance on experimenting to get this to taste good and let me tell you, you have not tasted something as disgusting as the things i cooked together in the kitchen.
This is only one of the many things i need to do. The more important thing is to aquire soft proove of my Idea being in demand. Tbh i am scared to do it because it might just turn out as a bad idea but whatever i gotta stop being a pussy and control my emotions.
Aside from this i also need to do the marketing and design of the Creatives and Website.

Next update ill have solid soft proove, a non disgusting prototype (that doesnt have to fulfill all the requirements yet) and a start to the branding.
