Name that drink

October 23, 2007 by Henry E. Powderly II

711_superbiggulp_d.jpgHere’s a little piece from our Freshly Squeezed breakfast with former Long Island Power Authority chief Richard Kessel that fell through the cracks. LI Biz Blog thought this was too much fun to not mention.

While we were chatting about how Long Island Business News in print is now available in select 7-Eleven Stores on Long Island, Kessel told us about a little beverage he created.

When Kessel visits the convenience store, he picks up a Big Gulp and fills it 3/4 of the way with Diet Pepsi and 1/4 of the way with Hawaiian Punch,

That’s his drink. So let’s name it and maybe we can get 7-Eleven to market the beverage.

Remember, be nice. Kessel was a great host to LI Biz Blog this morning.

Possible ideas:

  • Kessel Punch
  • Richie Pepsi
  • Electric Punch
  • Big Shock
  • Electro-beverage

We’ll pick a winner.
