ZICO adds Chad Ochocinco to all-star Roster

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ZICO scored a touchdown in Miami by adding Dolphins Wide Receiver Chad Johnson to its roster. Johnson is not only the newest member of the Miami Dolphins, he is also a new addition to Team ZICO, comprised of a group of stellar professional and amateur athletes with backgrounds in a variety of active endeavors. The group is headlined by NBA All-star Kevin Garnett, gold medal winning Olympic decathlete Bryan Clay, and professional surfer Bethany Hamilton. 

Leave it to Chad to select a "nontraditional" sports drink to maintain his performance. "I have a refrigerator in my garage filled from top to bottom with ZICO coconut water. I grab one when I leave the house and have another when I get home. The fact that ZICO is all natural and loaded with electrolytes helps me recover from my intense training.  I'm excited to join Team ZICO," said Johnson. 

Members of Team ZICO also include yogis, triathletes, running moms and everyday health superstars who share a passion for training and who use ZICO to help stay Naturally Powered.

"We welcome Chad to our team and are proud to support him as he embarks on a new season with the Dolphins," said Mark Rampolla, CEO and founder of ZICO.  "We have always supported the NFL and are pleased to continue hydrating the players."

ZICO is available in five delicious flavors packaged in both not-from-concentrate Tetra cartons and convenient 14 oz. resealable and recyclable on-the-go bottles specially blended for athletic recovery. The brand recently launched the larger 1 Liter tetra of its popular ZICO Chocolate variety which can be purchased at key national retailers and Amazon.com.
