Fun and Healthy Hydration for Growing Bodies
Minerco, Inc. (OTC: MINE), through its subsidiary, Athena Brands, Inc., the makers of VitaminFIZZ®, announced the acquisition of Kids 50 - Yo Gabba Gabba!, the fun, nutritious and delicious juice with half the sugar and calories of the standard children's juice. The combination of healthy refreshment with the Yo Gabba Gabba!® Brand licensing rights is a perfect fit for the Athena Brands' good-for-you philosophy.
Athena's acquisition of Kids 50 - Yo Gabba Gabba! contemplates the assignment of the Licensing Agreement for exclusive use of the "Yo Gabba Gabba" trademark in the beverage category from DHX Media, Ltd. The Yo Gabba Gabba! brand consists of a tremendously popular Nick. Jr. show, the Yo Gabba Gabba! live tour and robust consumer products including Kids 50 - Yo Gabba Gabba! juice.

It has 50% less sugar and calories than standard juice blends, and Kids 50 - Yo Gabba Gabba! has zero artificial sweeteners, preservatives or additives. Combining natural fruit and vegetable juices with reduced sugar and calorie content in popular Yo Gabba Gabba! packaging creates a healthier and unique option in the billion dollar children's beverage category.
Kids 50 - Yo Gabba Gabba! comes in four flavors kids love: Brobee's Goofy Apple, Muno's Fruit Punch, Foofa's Pink Lemonade, and Break It Down Berry. Each 6.75 oz. juice box blends antioxidant-rich apples, carrots and acerola berries with water and plant-based sweetener Stevia for a 100% natural beverage that contains only 40 calories and 10 grams of sugar.
Kids 50 - Yo Gabba Gabba!'s current juice box packaging features everyone's favorite cast of characters from the hit television series and live stage show, and Athena plans to offer additional packaging options in the very near future. It is currently available in Southern California and select locations outside the region.
