Punch Sport Drink is a beverage served to Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. It is produced by the H.R. Nicholson Company exclusively for the USNA. The Midshipmen who came up with the drink refused to let it be served to common folk and enlisted members of the armed forces.
[edit] Packaging
Punch Sport Drink (PSD) is packaged in a cardboard rectangular prism with dimensions of 3" x 4.5" x 6". There is a plastic spout located on the top of the package which facilitates ease of pouring and resealability. This packaging system is known as Combibloc.[1] The spout on top is a feature with the trade name Pour 'n Seal. According to the carton, this packaging system results in:
- Better taste: aseptic processing retains juices' natural flavors and colors without preservatives.
- Eliminates can openers or additional storage containers.
- Easy to crush: for cost effective disposal.
- Reduces solid packaging waste: packaging uses 64% less material than 46 oz. steel cans.
