Red Bull Has Competition From Anti-Energy Drink Company Slow Cow!

Slow cow really isn't a counter to Red Bull. If they are going for an opposing name that still fits, Blue Cow would have been better. Where red is seen as hot, energetic. Blue is seen as Cool, relaxed.

This is so cool! Too bad you, me as the consumer, and word of mouth advertising, "Best advertising in the Universe by the way", cannot get paid to share, and advertise for this cool companies drink. 'Such as an amazing beverage company I have been interested in that offers a simple pay it forward business plan, with no MLM B.S. involved! They have 4 awesome drinks {with no man made chemicals}! rolling out, two have Organic Acai' Berry, which holds a host of "REAL" benefits. Also two new ones coming out! One has MangoSteen, and is Naturally Caffeinated. The other new drink coming out has Quercetin which promotes healthy digestive system function. These ingredients have been found to hold some very profound benefits for the bodies natural oxidation of free radicals that cause cancers. (This is not an FDA statement of course). Heaven forbid!~ "Put the Major drug companies on a chopping block" Never. Did I just say that?? Better start looking over my shoulders.. ha
Any who, Check out my blob' www.rhodyfusjon.blogspot.com
All the best! in peace, and trust
Amen!

Spelling Nazi says check if Distress is really what you wanted to say up there.

This is really not a new concept whatsoever, the relaxation beverage DRANK has been around since 2003.

Distress, huh? Seems like what a stressed out person would want to do more of.

The internet is destroying the English language.

that helps me relax and it's been around for the entire history of civilization

 Great thought on the name! That would be a better way to go head to head with Redbull. Of course this is not the only beverage that is designed to help people relax - herbal remedies have been around for decades - but the interesting part about this company, is they really are trying to take on Red Bull.

 Thanks for pointing out the typo, but no need to get testy; they can happen and sounds like some might benefit from a drink of Slow Cow!

DE-stress

Your reading skills are destroying the internet.

Cool; however, will be totally obsolete once us Californians Legalize it. I'll take a joint (which not only "de-stresses" or w/e but also makes food taste better, reality television shows seem real, my girlfriends stories interesting etc. etc.)

 Thanks for the support!

 And yes, perhaps the market for these items will change if there are other legal options available.

blue is red's direct compliment not opposite shit head.

It's just simpler.

destress - Verb - To take away stress, to eliminate stress, unwind, relax.

Hey, This is all fun and games until someone asks, what are the ingredients?

What with all the energy drink hype nowadays, maybe taking a can of Slow Cow to chill you out could be a good idea.

I think we all could use one. instead of arguing over the misspelling of one word..

It says DEstress. Not Distress.

Would it be bad to drink a few Red-bull then a few of these things? Bad effects or what?

 let's just say that typo was put there on purpose just to demonstrate the need for a product to help everyone chill out!!

I love this idea -- I could use some NOW, NOW! (Clearly, I need it.) Where can I buy it? In Canada, I hope, since it is Canadian?

Jesus Christ.. they are just drink companies shut the fuck up.

Wow! Some people really like to nitpick about the use of one single word... The fact is, this is an interesting new drink. Whether or not the concept is new, there is always something new in the market to try to bring some difference or re-instate a hype toward a specific type of product.

Drink a Slow Cow and stop HAVING a cow over the small stuff.
;-)

wow people...chill! its one word, get over it. you obviously saw that everyone else has bitched about it but then have the need to do it yourself. geeez.

i just double checked... it says "DEstress"...

i agree

When will we see it in UK shops?

Blue is also associated with melancholy. Cow is certainly good as it evokes pastoral scenes of gentle beasts grazing in fields.

De-stress, you idiot. As in, unwind. Look at the context of the sentence. Look at the meaning of the whole post. Substituting "distress" for destress, as you suggest, would make no sense. I suspect your post is a projection of your own insecurities, I'm guessing, because people in the past have criticized you for your reading comprehension and other reading- or writing-related inadequacies.

 So far Slow Cow seems to be available in Quebec, Canada primarily, since that's where it originated. Currently they're selling it a Couche-Tard stores, but I would suspect that with the hype surrounding it already, it will soon be all across Canada and the US...and then let,'s hope, the UK as well! 

 And to the poster who commented about reinventing ideas and concepts - there's very little that hasn't been done before, so as you state, it's a question of the marketing tactics and branding used that makes new concepts unique!

I think Destress is the word they wanted to use. Distress means something completely different.

...and Dumbwaiter Design did it better:

Check out they're site - it's pretty awesome
http://zzz.drinkzzz.com/

Im sorry, but i do not agree.

I think "Blue Cow" is taken by another company.

Ya know, I would really like to try this.

I had the same thought while reading the article, but I think it's because there's already a Blue Cow in the market (I think it's milk). Interesting concept, though. I hope it comes to Manila soon.

blue cow sounds like a sick cow, i like the Slow cow more

There was no typo, so to the original spelling Nazi who said something, you are an idiot.

And to Beth Hodgson, shame on you for not realizing that you didn't actually make a typo. I can't believe you said "Thanks for noticing my mistake.", instead of realizing that what you typed initially was correct.

You're kinda hot. ;)

 oh boy..here we go again. Of course I noticed my typo and corrected it. Do you really think I'd leave it there when it's very clearly an error and thank people for it? Come on now.

the drink, Drank, is the true foil to drinks like Red Bull

Right on!

they meant de-stress, as in, get rid of stress

"blue is red's direct compliment not opposite shit head."

Green is red's compliment... shit head.

Sometimes the people on the internet don't realize you can edit your post. Based on the comments by the author, she originally wrote distress, a commenter pointed out that she wanted "destress" and she changed it to destress.

Deleting all the comments about spelling would be a great idea - including this one eventually.

Thank you! You've got it - of course you can edit things posted online, and while even professional writers do make mistakes on occasion (like inadvertently inserting an "i" instead of an "e" when typing and missing it when proofreading because you know what you WANT it to say), I think it should be pretty clear that upon discovery, any writer would correct them immediately. 

 Now that that has been cleared up, let's all stop overanalyzing everything and focus upon  the relevant part; the business that's being discuessed!

 With regards to an existing company under the name Blue Cow...a variety of companies do actually exist under that name, but the closest one to food and beverage makes cheese. Although I think it's still up for debate whether Blue Cow would have been a better name than Slow Cow!

The math should be harder to filter out the morons that obsess about incorrect spelling... or did I mean disspelling?

http://she-cheated.com/index.php?c=viral&m=index&id=bd9fcc677ef6622e434e...

 And yes, I did also make a typo in one of my comment responses - just to save anyone the hasstle of digging into it! 

 And yes, perhaps we do need to consider raising the standards for the criteria to comment, good suggestion

It may be good to check, to be careful, to use grammar properly. And gently correcting someone when they are not is often appropriate...As long as you are doing the same things yourself. 'Destress' is a verb meaning essentially 'to become less stressed'. 'Distress' is a noun referring to a situation someone is in that is causing them increased amounts of stress. One might say, "I am in distress." So, he was correct in his original usage, and you should check the dictionary before trying to correct someone. :) You may want to check these references: http://inventorspot.com/articles/red_bull_has_competition_antienergy_dri..., http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/distress.
