OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder Launches MAD TASTY Hemp-Infused Sparkling Water
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- An all-new hemp extract sparkling water is bringing wellness to the masses in the tastiest way yet. Founded by musician and songwriter Ryan Tedder, lead singer of OneRepublic, MAD TASTY has zero sugar or sweeteners and 20 mg of pure broad-spectrum hemp extract. Designed to keep your creative energy flowing, MAD TASTY is set to grow its reach across the consumer and creative markets as the popularity of hemp products continues to explode.
"Water is boring, and I realized I was constantly dehydrated and not drinking enough of it. Americans have an epidemic of dehydration and too much coffee and stress - I wanted to tackle all of it for ME- with one beverage and without SUGAR," said founder Ryan Tedder. "I also had countless friends and family around me experiencing and exclaiming the health benefits of hemp extract. Having battled anxiety and panic attacks myself in 2017, I started using hemp extract and wanted a way to take it every day without the bitter or over sweetened taste of existing beverages on the market."
MAD TASTY is backed by powerhouse investment company First Bev. Approached by numerous hemp extract beverage brands, none of which felt right, MAD TASTY was the perfect fit for First Bev, which uses its beverage industry expertise to catapult brands to the next level.
