Hey there, soda lovers! Mrs. Pete here, reporting live from Pete’s Natural HQ, where we’ve been on a wild ride trying to bring you our delicious sodas in cans. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t smooth sailing. In fact, at times, it felt like we were paddling upstream in a fizzy river—without a paddle, in a leaky boat, while being chased by a caffeine-fueled seagull. But we made it, and I’m here to spill the sparkling tea!
Why Swap the Bottle for a Can?
We love our glass bottles. They’re classy, timeless, and have been with us from the start. But some people weren’t as keen—turns out, some places don’t want to deal with glass because it’s heavier, more fragile, and not as easy to chuck in a chilly bin for a road trip. Fair enough.
So, we set out on “The Great Can Quest.” Easy, right? HA. No.
The Many, Many, MANY Hurdles
Step one: Get a canning machine.
Step two: Realise canning machines cost a fortune and contemplate selling a kidney.
Step three: Run a PledgeMe campaign to fund the canning machine.
Step four: Watch the PledgeMe campaign fall short and sob into a bottle of lemonade.
When crowdfunding didn’t work out, we had to hustle to find another way to afford the machine. Because guess what? The cans weren’t going to fill themselves. Meanwhile, delays hit. The cans took longer to arrive than an overdue library book, which meant production got pushed back, deadlines were missed, and stress levels hit an all-time high.
But we’re nothing if not determined (or maybe just stubborn). We kept going, problem-solving our way through every hurdle like a game of Soda Ninja Warrior. And now? We finally have cans!
Same Fizz, New Package
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ The flavour? Still the same. No weird aftertaste or compromise—just our same refreshing, natural sodas.
✅ The quality? As high as ever. No shortcuts, no nonsense.
✅ Glass bottles? Still here! If you’re a die-hard glass bottle fan, don’t panic—we’re keeping them around too.
✅ Cans? Super convenient. Chuck ‘em in your bag, take ‘em to the beach, no bottle opener required.
Was It Worth It?
Absolutely. Bringing these cans to life wasn’t easy, but cracking open that first one after all the stress, delays, and problem-solving? Pure victory.
So here’s to new beginnings, same great taste, and a can-do attitude (yes, I went there). Thanks for sticking with us—we can’t wait for you to try them!
Cheers,
Mrs. Pete
