Stephen Curry teams up with Michelle Obama to launch sports drink [boycott alert, in case you didn't know]

Four-time National Basketball Association champion Stephen Curry is teaming up with former first lady Michelle Obama to release a healthier sports drink option.

Curry and Obama on Wednesday announced the launch of Plezi Hydration, through Obama’s public benefit company, Plezi Nutrition. The drink adds to Curry’s growing portfolio of off-court ventures as the 37-year-old nears the final years of his playing career.

The sports drink market is a crowded space, but Curry said the beverage’s focus on health and wellness makes it different. The drink touts no added sugar or artificial sweeteners, less sodium than leading rivals and a full daily dose of vitamin C.

“We’ve created something with smart ingredients and unbeatable flavor, so people can fuel their bodies the right way. No nonsense, no shortcuts — because the next generation deserves better,” Curry said in a statement.

Doesn't sound much like a sports drink. Snazzy bottle, though.

Come for the healthy drink; stay for the unhealthy political messaging.

That’s not a product I would be likely to buy, but I have nothing against Curry or Big Mike trying to make some money selling a legal product. That is their business, on how they want to make capitalism work for them. I see nothing “Snake Oil” about it.

In the ready-to-drink sports drink category, volume declined to 2024, but sales rose due to higher prices, Telford said.

Anybody care to decipher this AI gibberish? Are they saying that the market declined to 2024 levels? That recently sales are rising DESPITE higher prices?

I agree.

But neither of them is getting a single one of my hard earned dollars.

That's because "Plezi" is a Haitan Creole word. That will really appeal to American consumers.

Does it taste like Socialist Democrat TEARS?

That would be the BEST flavor if she really wants to sell this swill.

“Stephen Curry is teaming up with former first lady Michelle Obama to release a healthier sports drink option. “

I read that as “USAID money quit coming in so Michelle Obama had to go get a real job”.

Well, you did just call him a her, so perhaps they are doing a good job making him look like a her.
