Energy drinks have become something of a commonplace product for consumers to pick up to keep their energy level up throughout the day, but the SLOW relaxation drink has been formulated to offer a different kind of experience. Working to calm the nerves rather than stimulate your energy levels, the SLOW drink is packaged to look like an hourglass to remind the person to take time to relax and unwind. This makes it an ideal drink to enjoy at the end of a long day to help one unwind rather than going straight from their busy schedule to bed.
The conceptual SLOW relaxation drink is the design work of Aleksandra I Piotr Wiśniewscy for OPUS B and identifies a growing demand for functional beverages that stimulate in a different way.
