New Caffeine-free Rootbeer Blast XS™ Energy Drink Packs a Powerful Punch says Fred Harteis of IBOAI

“This sugar-free burst of energy captures the flavor of the Old West.” – Linda Harteis

Grand Rapids, Mich., April 13, 2006 —Fred Harteis of the Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI) announced the association’s endorsement of the newest XS Energy Drink, Caffeine-free Rootbeer Blast available exclusively from Quixtar Independent Business Owners (IBOs).
“The Rootbeer Blast XS Energy Drink was so popular, introducing a caffeine-free version just made sense,” says Fred Harteis.
“Like the original, Caffeine-free Rootbeer Blast captures the classic flavor of the sasparilla root, the source of the Old West’s first true root beer,” adds Linda Harteis.
“XS Caffeine-free Rootbeer Blast is loaded with B vitamins to boost your energy,” notes Harteis. Each 8.4 ounce contains 100 percent or more of the recommended daily value of five energy packed B vitamins.
“Caffeine-free Rootbeer Blast, unlike most energy drinks, has no sugar and no carbs,” says Fred Harteis.
“Caffeine-free Rootbeer Blast is the third caffeine-free offering in the XS line-up. It joins Caffeine-free Cran-Grape and Caffeine-free Tropical Blast. Other flavors of XS Energy Drink include Rootbeer Blast, Cherry Blast, Cranberry-Grape, Citrus Blast, Electric Lemon Blast, Tropical Blast, and non-carbonated Tea-Berry Blast,” says Linda Harteis.
“XS Energy Drinks, including the new XS Caffeine-free Rootbeer Blast Energy Drink, are available exclusively from our association members, Quixtar IBOs in the United States and Canada,” notes Fred Harteis.
