Pressbox (Press Release) -
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana--YEE-OWWW! Throw me some of dem beads,
MISTAAAH! This must be Bourbon Street and the risqué side of Mardi Gras in the
French Quarter where this laissez-faire city shows a degree of immodesty exhibited by
female masquerader’s where float riders encourage women to lift their shirts for-beads.
They don’t want to wake up too fat in the Big Easy, so they start the day at the French
Market with Chicory-Coffee served at the CAFE DU MONDE, the Original French
Market Stand, where you can strike up a conversation with the person next to you, and
enjoy a Cafe Au Lait and Hot Beignets (French Doughnuts), and watch the passers-by. Or
head down Bourbon Street and go looking for that famed Louisiana Tabasco sauce, and
boiled crawfish, but be sure to have on hand a Barqs’ root beer or a Jazz-Cola as standby
medication to put out the fire in your mouth, here pepper sauces like Tabasco are less a
condiment than one of the four basic food groups, with the heat and kick of the bayou.
Now if you start feeling like every day is Fat Tuesday, Real Things Distributing Company
may have the answer, the company is introducing a new diet beverage, called Metabolife
Energy Drink. Never-the-less, its a fat chance that anything “diet” is Big news in New
Orleans, the return of diet guru Richard Simmons (http://www.richardsimmons.com) was
front page news in the big e-e-e-easy. “Consumer response to this Red Bull style energy
drink on Bourbon Street has been extremely positive, recognizing both our innovative
beverage concept and the appeal of the Metabolife brand name,'' said Ira W. Scott,
President and CEO, Real Things Distributing Company, “And Metabolife Energy Drinks
are stimulant-free (no ephedra or caffeine) and may be consumed along with Metabolife
356® dietary supplement.” said Scott.
Currently, 7-Eleven, Inc., the nation's largest convenience retailer, has authorized Real
Things Distributing Company to sell it’s new Metabolife Energy Drink in its initial test
market of New Orleans, which is a joint venture between a subsidiary of Metabolife
International, Inc. and Real Things Distributing Company. The creative entrepreneur
behind the Bong Water Cow is Ira W. Scott, who is not waiting for the fat lady to sing,
but milking this N.O. diet opportunity for what its worth since Metabolife approached him
to develop this great tasting energy drink for the US market. So kick back a few bottles of
Metabolife Energy Drinks during the week and on the weekend enjoy some of Chef Paul
Prudhomme’s old favorites like Seafood Gumbo, Jambalaya, Etouffee or Blackened
Louisiana Drum at K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen in the noisy, touristy French Quarter and
experience New Orleans on a diet, as the say ‘laissez les bon temps rouler’ or let the good
time roll!
