Row New Yorkers Visit Pepsi!
















What do you get when you put 25 teenagers in a room with unlimited Pepsi, Gatorade, and Starbucks drinks? I actually don't have a clever answer for that one, but we did run this experiment on Thursday when Row New York coach and tutor, Marinela Honovich, hosted a tour of PEPSICo in Westchester, NY for some of our girls. When Marinela isn't on the water with us, she works as a sweetener at Pepsi so we got the inside scoop on how soda is made, the number of years that go into becoming a flavorist (many!), and a lot of the science behind the food products that are made by Pepsi. I think the high point of the visit was when the girls got to try about seven flavors of Pepsi that are new to the market in different countries and then make their own Gatorade. The sugar high was certainly fun while it lasted! Thanks to Marinela and her team for the great experience!
