Read my interview with the founder of the new company Ritch Viola
Every Man Jack is a new line of men’s grooming products that launched nationwide in April. The line is the creation of the former Method VP for Marketing, Ritch Viola.
Every Man Jack is based in San Francisco and carried by Target stores nationwide. The line includes shaving gel & cream, body wash, face wash & lotion, soap and hair care (currently available in test markets only).
Here is an interesting story that slipped in under the radar screen. Recycline is selling its Preserve® toothbrush at Wal-Mart stores.
In their summer newsletter distributed yesterday the company had a blurb mentioning the Preserve was now available at Wal-Mart. The decision was apparently made in April and was not well publicized... perhaps intentionally?
Recycline said their decision to sell at Wal-Mart was, "not a obvious choice." "We weighed the pros and cons of working with a retailer that has the broadest reach of any in the world but has been critiqued as having some of the least impressive environmental and social practices," said the company's Founder & President Eric Hudson.
The patent applications are the result of an ultra secret working group between $24 Billion soft drink giant Coca-Cola and food giant Cargill that began to filter out to the public earlier this month. The working group was part of a joint effort by the companies to develop the ultimate sweetener, one they could even call "natural" unlike Splenda or Nutra-Sweet.
