The HELIX Tahoe Hybrid Is Ready to Rock!

So as the business climate changes people are looking for new ways to advertise, the more unique the better chance of making an impression. Now granted we don’t have a custom mini cooper with a huge pack of HELIX on the back but we do have a Hybrid! It was important for us to take into consideration the environment and the impact of all the driving we will be doing! The Tahoe Hybrid was the perfect choice, we needed space and utility and we could not have asked for a better vehicle! We will update more pictures here but also check out www.facebook.com/helixdrinks.com for more pictures and updates on our adventures!

WELCOME TO THE NEW HELIXDRINKS.COM

As some of you may know HELIX has been an amazing journey over the past several years, well times change and so do we, it is my great honor to present you with the new HELIX Drinks web-site! This is only the first step in what we hope will be a bright future for HELIX, please check back over the next few weeks to see additions and changes to the site. This site should offer a different perspective than most, we plan on providing new, unique, and exciting content along with some cool features that are in the works!

This process has not been an easy one and there are tons and tons of people to thank for their hard work and determination to help HELIX. One page to check out regarding some of these people will be the “Companies We Like” page. This will be a section where we can give an “e-shoutout” to companies who have the same ideals and drive that we do.

RT @hubspot 27 Marketing Lessons B2B Marketers Should Know http://bit.ly/auwZTs

Helix energy powder is among the best energy drink mixes I have ever tried. This newcomer onto the field provides more than just another orange drink in powder form, but will change the way you get your energy fix. Sure, some companies have come out with energy drink mixes before, but this is the first I have seen which does not make any big health benefit claims, does not cost ten bucks a pack and comes in a very easy to transport pack. I really hope this drink makes it out to the public – it has all the right ingredients to be a real winner in this market.

The people producing this mix are still in business infancy. This is one of those ideas that I really hope makes it to mass- market soon, as it has some real potential. With a great package and a winning mix, this has the chance for something special. All that is needed now is a reallly smart promotional and advertising push – something that will land this in the convenience stores and groceries, and ultimately get this drink to the point everyone can grab a stick. I am sincerely hoping they make it, because the samples they sent me have all run out, and I am already jonesing for more.

Buzz/Nutrition:9
As far as I understand, the point of this mix is it is supposed to do the job at an inexpensive price – and this excels beyond what I could have expected for energy – and still gives the other energy drink nutrients we all like. This is full of B vitamins and Taurine, while still only having 10 calories per pack. This means that this is not supposed to be the same kind of drink mix as Zenergize, or one of the other “healthy” energy drink mixers using stevia and green tea powder. There is a very nice 160mg of caffeine in one of these packs, which gave me a great boost which lasted for a long time and left no crash.

Taste:9
This drink mix also is without the citric acid/sodium bicarbonate mix, so not only does it not fizz up and leave nasty bubble scum at the lip of your water bottle, but it also does not taste like baking soda. This is a REAL advantage over the other mixes, as there has been only one drink mix I have tasted that fizzes that was truly delicious that was carbonated (zipfizz orange soda mix). While this drink mix is definitely harsh when tasted by itself, it is a strong and flavorful orange, not at all weak even in a full 16oz bottle. The orange does not taste at all natural – flavored more like tang than an actual orange, but that was expected from this kind of drink.

Packaging:8

I like the overall helix design, and I found out that the packages are slightly water resistant – as I accidentally soaked a pack near the sink. I really like the overall DNA line, looking very scientific and clean, rather than going silly and extreme. The designer did a great job putting all the information on there, although I would really have liked to see the caffeine content on the package, especially since it is so substantial. Although these sticks are not for individual sale, I would put more info to get hold of the company so if you do chance upon one you could pick up a stack. I do think this type of packaging is better than the hard plastic packaging, and certainly better than the lightweight and easily trashed lipton and crystal light packages. Overall, I think this is a winning package that does a great job selling and promoting the mix.

Helix Orange Energy Drink Review

May 4th, 2010 by admin

Helix Orange Energy Drink
When I grabbed Helix Energy Drink I knew it had been a long time since I last had a powdered energy drink, but since I was flying down to LA for a long-road trip I decided it was the perfect occasion to try a new one. I packed Helix Orange Energy Drink in my bag and took it with me. Then I got up at 4 AM the next morning, ripped open the foil packet, mixed it with water and downed the energy drink. These powdered energy drinks are great for travel and I like that Helix has a good look packaging that is functional.

Helix is probably the best energy powder I have had. The orange flavor which is the only one I have tastes great. It’s a pure orange with the perfect amount of strength behind the fruit flavor. The taste is clear and pure which is a very important part when drinking a powder. What also distinguishes Helix is that it mixes very well with water. Some powders I have had to shake forever, but Helix dissolved with a couple of vigorous shakes. As I said I liked the orange flavor, which mixes with a great sweetness that has no aftertaste. The flavor has the faintest bit of tartness which helps the sweetness along and produces a very refreshing beverage. If you want the absolute true test for a powdered energy drink’s taste than you do drink what I call “Keeping It Honest.” Later I took another pack of Helix and mixed it with a 16 ounce bottle of Honest Tea Unsweetened Green Tea. Now normally this stuff is pretty hard to take since it’s a bitter tea with no sweetness. In the past I have mixed it with other energy powders and witnessed their flavors get muddled down and messed up by the tea. When I tried this with Helix, it came through with flying colors with its bright orange flavor maintaining its strength and clarity even in the face of the heavy green tea. Helix has won me over.

Helix has a solid list of ingredients inside the powder. There’s citric acid, taurine, Vitamin C, caffeine, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, glucuronolactone, l-carnitine, magnesium, ginseng, and B Vitamins. Considering that this is a 10 calorie, 0 sugar beverage you get a nice burst of energy. I had no problem waking up after drinking Helix before my long drive. Like I said, I woke up at 4 AM so I was really tired, but within about 20 minutes I was wide awake and feeling great. As I drove I could feel my alertness increasing as my eyes scanned the highway up ahead. I felt like the ginseng backbone of the drink worked well giving my body endurance and dropping all fatigue. I enjoyed Helix Orange and look forward to seeing what other flavors the company will put out in the future.
