SIOUX CITY, Iowa — A retired chemistry professor from Sioux City has developed a new beverage technology that allows consumers to change the flavor of a drink with each sip.
Larry Martin demonstrated his patent-pending product, called Shaka, by pouring small packets of chocolate- and strawberry-flavored Shaka into a glass of low-fat white milk. The three flavors didn’t dissolve into one, but remained separate from each other, in a horizontal stack of solid bands of white, chocolate and strawberry.
Martin then shook the liquid. The flavors didn’t blend together, but the movement formed tiny balls, or globules, of various sizes and colors floating around the glass, similar to the appearance of a lava lamp.
