RSHN - Every little bit helps..!!! .. http://www.naturalfoodnet.com/nfnportal/COFDCompanyDetail.aspx?id=5789271

If you go around to the various Boards on the WWW, people everywhere across the USA and Canada are banging on the grocers' and natural foods' doors demanding Rush Cola, Rush, 'XXX' and eWater.

If Bob C gets together with <i>Ipifini</i> and their multi-flavor blister-bottles, every kid in the USA will want their Mom and Dad drinking eWater so they can have the 'empties' to refill and enjoy the other 5 flavors. http://www.ipifini.com/choice-enabled_packaging.pdf and http://www.ipifini.com/images/press_liquidphoto.jpg

OBTW: ...Yeah - I'm already on the case......................

"..OFF TOPIC and FYI..":

All you shrewd 'Maha RushNetties' need to be collecting some ACHI, also.

Together, for those who are BOLD & HOLD, ACHI and RSHN will buy you a whole lot of new toys.....

OBTW: A pocket full of LFWK wouldn't hurt you a bit either - massive short squeeze coming..!!!

"...GOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo RSHN..."!!!

Grays Brewing news....


All told, Wisconsin brewers grabbed 14 medals in the 2006 World Beer Cup, second only to California's 25. The bi-annual competition is one of the three most respected beer contests in the world along with the Great American Beer Festival in Denver and the Beer Industry International Awards in England.

Gray's Brewing Company in Janesville re-joined the list of Wisconsin winners this year, grabbing a bronze medal in the Irish-Style Red Ale category for its Irish Style Ale. It took home a bronze medal in 1996 for its Oatmeal Stout.

"Like the name, Irish Ale, it's nothing fancy, just a great tasting sweet, caramel-y beer," said brewmaster Fred Gray.

Opened in 1992, Gray's Brewing has continued to rely on soda for about 85 percent of its sales. But its craft-brewed beers have enjoyed strong growth this year, up 25 percent so far, Gray said.

Gray is also excited that his Rathskeller Ale, the second-best selling tap beer carried at the UW-Madison Memorial Union, is now available in bottles.

Here's a nifty little RSHN tidbit - "..hot off the press.."!!!

Robert is apparently at another professional industry product show somewhere today ( the 'FFI', or some such... ) and they are giving out samples of a new "..Apple Rush.." product..!!! I hear it's being very well accepted among the muckitymucks that can attend. I'll bet that will be an easy sell in upstate New York and Washington state..!!!

I love apple juice, so I'm certainly looking forward to being able to have some of that.

For breakfast this morning, I had an icy cold Organic Apple Rush instead of my usual OJ.... It was kind of tingly, like the apple cider that you buy from a roadside stand in Wisconsin in the summer time or a niche brand ginger ale without that huge sugar load you get from Schweppes or Canada Dry.

I think it will go over real well... I had the privilege of meeting Michael Lynch (..who was wearing his Presidential White House Seal logo cufflinks that his Dad's friend, Don Rumsfeld, got for him..) and one of the other RSHN Marketing guys, Brian, tagging along with Bob, while I was in Chicago. Sounds like things are busy-busy-busy to me. Maybe we'll get the big Purchase Order PRs next week.....

I also got to take my cousin Martha to that Greek Islands restaurant afterwards, which was a lot of fun. It was a cold, rainy, blustery day - so the hot food and cheery atmosphere of a Greek family restaurant was a welcome relief.

John :-)

Here's are some real good reasons to drink RUSH products - American Ginseng is good for you and RUSH drinks won't give you Cancer.......

****************************************

Soft-Drink Makers Changing Recipes After FDA Tests Find Benzene

May 20 (Bloomberg) -- Soft-drink makers including Safeway Inc. are reformulating soda recipes after U.S. regulators said amounts of the cancer-causing chemical benzene found in five of 89 beverages tested exceeded allowable levels for drinking water.


Levels as high as 79.2 parts per billion were found in some of the sodas tested by the Food and Drug Administration in the past month, compared with federal rules specifying less than 5 parts per billion in drinking water. There is no legal limit on benzene in beverages other than water.

While the levels ``are low and not a health risk, they are avoidable,'' said Laura Tarantino, director of FDA's Office of Food Additive Safety, in a conference call with reporters late yesterday. ``We insist that everyone should be doing everything they can to avoid the formation of benzene.''

Animal testing has found that repeated exposures to benzene levels above 80 parts per million -- 1,000 times higher than the highest level the FDA found -- causes rapid destruction of bone marrow and various blood diseases. Public health would be best protected by keeping benzene levels below 0.15 part per billion, according to a scientific paper published by the state of California in 2001.

``It's 15 years too late,'' said Richard Wiles, senior vice president of the Environmental Working Group, a Washington-based advocacy organization that recently pressured the FDA to eliminate benzene from drinks. Testing in 1990 first revealed that some diet soft drinks may contain benzene.

The testing and recipe changes are ``a good start,'' he said.

Vitamin C Reaction

Benzene can form in drinks when vitamin C or a similar acid reacts with benzoates, chemicals that are used as preservatives and are naturally present in cranberry juice, the FDA said on its Web site.

Makers of the drinks are changing their recipes after the FDA contacted them about the benzene levels, Tarantino said. The reformulated drinks are Pineapple Crush, Safeway Select Diet Orange, Giant Light Cranberry Juice Cocktail, Crystal Light Sunrise Classic Orange and AquaCal Strawberry Flavored Water Beverage, she said.

Safeway changed its recipe in April, prior to the FDA contacting the company, spokeswoman Teena Massingill said. ``It's been a concern within the beverage industry, so we evaluated all of our soft drinks and found that we needed to reformulate that one,'' she said in a telephone interview yesterday.

Attempts to contact Kraft Foods Inc., maker of Crystal Light; Cadbury Schweppes Plc, maker of Crush; and Meridian Beverage Co., maker of AquaCal, after business hours were unsuccessful.

Detectable Levels

Most of the drinks tested, 54 of 84, had at least some detectable benzene. Tarantino said that even when the highest levels were found, such as the 79.2 parts per billion found in the Safeway Select Diet Orange drink, there was no health threat, as it was unlikely that people would drink very much of it.

A wide range of benzene concentrations was found in different lots and batches of the same drink. That might be the result of different amounts of heat exposure, Tarantino said.

``It should be that even under abuse conditions you shouldn't get elevated levels of benzene,'' Tarantino said. She said the agency is working with trade organizations to ensure that drink makers change their recipes to eliminate the chance of benzene creation.

*******************************************************

Ref: Benzene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzene
Benzene, also known as C6H6, PhH, and benzol, is an organic chemical compound that is a colorless and flammable liquid with a pleasant, sweet smell. Benzene is a known carcinogen. Benzene is no longer used as an additive in gasoline but it is an important industrial solvent and precursor in the production of drugs, plastics, synthetic rubber, and dyes. Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, but it is usually synthesized from other compounds present in petroleum. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon, and the second [n]-annulene ([6]-annulene).

RushNet, Inc. Responds to Global Clamor for Rush Ginseng Energy Drinks; Ultramodern Canning Facility Tapped for Production
Business Wire, March 3, 2006
BLUE ISLAND, Ill. -- RushNet, Inc. (Other OTC:RSHN.PK) is pleased to announce that it has received overwhelming response from beverage wholesalers around the world who are eager to distribute RushNet's licensed all-natural ginseng-based energy drinks: Ginseng Rush XXX(TM) (8.45 fl. oz. cans) and Rush Ginseng Cola XXX(TM) (8.45 fl. oz. cans).

Robert Corr, president of RushNet, Inc., stated, "Following our recent news of RushNet's entree into the huge Japanese market, the company has been inundated with calls from overseas distributors who want to sell our ginseng-powered, non-caffeinated, 100% natural energy drinks. Our energy-drink competitors rely on caffeine, which is harmful, especially to youngsters, in large doses. They have to put caffeine-warning labels on their cans. Our caffeine-free, natural energy beverages provide 'crash-free energy.' They provide stamina and performance by using legendary herbs like American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), Siberian rhodiola rosea and Chinese peony root--with thousand-year histories of healthful use and efficacy."

Corr added, "In order to take advantage of opportunities, presented to us, for global marketing of our energy drinks, we are printing labels in five languages: English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Japanese."
