In a bursting-at-the-seams episode of Taste Radio, the hosts reflect and ruminate on Lionel Messi’s Prime-killer, “condiment couture,” Boisson-bashing and sausage salvation. They also get vitaminwater vibes from a brand’s recent revamp and highlight a handful of new beverages, including a sparkling tea and a decaf espresso martini.

Show notes:

The hosts also comment on Boisson’s reboot and why the non-alcoholic beverage retailer may want to take a second swing at it, how Prime’s problems have opened the door for challenger brands, and several small format drinks all of which pack a punch.
