1. Reimagining the Energy Drink:  Energy drinks do have some redeeming properties--like giving a person that extra boost. Using your research and thinking about the stand you took, work together to put a positive spin on how people currently see energy drinks and sell your audience on that idea. 
2. Consider an Alternative to the Energy Drink:  People use energy drinks to help them feel more active. Using your research and thinking about the stand you took, develop an alternative to the energy drink as we know it. You must sell this alternative to your audience. 

Your Pitch Must: 

• Contain a hook for the audience (catchy song, art) that captures what your product does
• Explain what the product does
• Explain how it will benefit the buyer
