Bloom Nutrition enters prebiotic soda category
Austin-based Bloom Nutrition is expanding into the growing prebiotic soda market with Bloom Pop, debuting at Walmart. Why it matters: The company aims to capitalize on skyrocketing consumer demand for gut-friendly, low-sugar drinks — and compete in the increasingly crowded better-for-you soda category now worth over $1 billion. A growing number of wellness brands, including Austin-based Poppi and national startups like Olipop, are seeking to disrupt the $110 billion soft drink market. The big picture: Founded in 2019, Bloom first made its name with a greens and superfoods powder, which it claims supports health, digestion and energy. The company's push into prebiotic sodas follows the success of its sparkling energy drink, launched last year. Bloom says it sold more than 35 million cans of its energy drink in its first year. What they're saying:"Launching a better-for-you soda was a natural evolution for Bloom," Bloom co-founder CEO Greg LaVecchia said in a statement. "We've never shied away from competitive categories, because that's where the real opportunities live."

Katy and Orlando got engaged six years ago and share daughter Daisy Dove together, who they welcomed in 2020. They released a joint statement confirming the split, which read: 'Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. "They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is, and always will be, raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.' A source close to the couple previously claimed that the breakup was amicable. The insider said: 'Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved not to have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life." Hints of emotional strain had surfaced on Bloom's Instagram earlier this month. On July 2, he shared a quote from Carl Jung: 'Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.' He also posted a telling Buddha quote days before: 'Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters most.' Their shock split comes after Katy recently announced her departure from American Idol after seven seasons, reportedly to focus on new music.
