You would think Coke knows what theyre doing, but how the hell can they pay $4B for a company that did only $300mil in sales? What am I missing?

Ability to make inroads in other markets? Coke's worldwide distribution network is ridiculous. Before today I've never even heard of this drink.

Crazy that he cracked the flavored water market and coke + pepsi couldnt.
