“Our editors took their gloves off and examined as many aspects of each product as possible, tasting every item and debating each entry’s ability to disrupt consumer buying behavior,” said Ken Whitacre, Publisher and Editorial Director. “We are very pleased with this year’s entries to truly define ‘What is Innovation?’ and we look forward to continuing the dialogue on this important subject in the years to come.”
