About
Ripple Foods is a Berkeley, California–based food and beverage company founded in 2014 that produces plant-based dairy alternatives using pea protein as the primary ingredient. Unlike almond, oat, or soy milks, Ripple's products derive protein from yellow peas—delivering 8g of protein per serving compared to 1g in most almond milks—while remaining free of the top allergens, non-GMO, vegan, and significantly more water-efficient than almond production. The company's product line includes Ripple Milk (original and flavored), protein shakes, and creamers sold through major US retailers including Whole Foods, Target, Kroger, and Walmart.

About
Liquid Death is a beverage company that weaponized heavy-metal branding to disrupt the bottled water and sparkling beverage category. Founded in 2019 by Mike Cessario, the brand sells mountain water, sparkling water, and flavored iced teas in recyclable aluminum cans under the mantra "Murder Your Thirst." The company's irreverent marketing — featuring death metal imagery, skull logos, and viral shock-humor campaigns — has attracted a fiercely loyal Gen Z and millennial consumer base and placed Liquid Death in major retailers including Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, and 7-Eleven as well as every major sports and entertainment venue.
