DNA was also the recipient of    this prestigious award in 2010.  <\/p>\n<p>    It is quite an accomplishment to be selected as the Worlds    Best in The Worlds Largest Beverage Competition. It is even    more of an accomplishment when this honor is bestowed upon your    brand for the second time by a panel of industry professionals    representing all areas of the globe, rather than just a    specific country or individual community. The World Beverage    Competition, a member of the World Trade Organization conducts    a double blind taste test where both the packaging and brand    name are not revealed and judging is done strictly on the    merits of the products being tested and not the strength of the    competitors marketing or budget of their sales force, said Mel    Leiner, DNAs Executive Vice President. Leiner added, From the    very beginning it has been our goal to separate ourselves from    our competition by creating an energy drink superior in both    function and taste. This award validates our efforts. Having    the committee state that DNA is the next level in energy    drinks, making great taste as a priority is just frosting on    the cake, concluded Leiner.  <\/p>\n<p>    About World Beverage Competition:  <\/p>\n<p>    Each year more than 20,000 beverage brands from around the    globe compete in the World Beverage Competition, the only    world-wide competitive beverage event in hopes of receiving one    of only four coveted awards bestowed within each brand    classification. The World Beverage Competition was founded on    the premise that beverage products should be judged not by the    strength of their marketing or the budget of their sales force,    but rather on the quality and innovation of the product itself.    These Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze awards are often    imprinted directly on the labels of the products that have    earned them as a \"medal of honor\" for the brand.  <\/p>\n<p>    About DNAs Products  <\/p>\n<p>    DNA BRANDS make DNA Energy Drink, the award-winning,    best-tasting energy drink at the 2010 and 2013 World Beverage    Competition.
