Lie-Detecting Seltzer Taste Tests

BON & VIV's #SeltzerShowdown Had People Take a Polygraph Test

Spiked seltzers are becoming increasingly popular and consumers are continually being introduced to new products—to help people make the best choice, BON & VIV conducted a #SeltzerShowdown that involved 50 Millennial participants, a taste test and a polygraph. To see whether people truly like the taste of its BON & VIV Classic over that of a competitor, BON & VIV promised to give $1,000 to people who truthfully stated their preference—in the end, just four people truthfully stated that they preferred White Claw Pure.

BON & VIV Classic boasts just 90 calories per a 12-ounce serving, zero sugar and an ABV of just 4.5%. As well as being able to enjoy the brand's hard seltzer in convenient cans, consumers will also find that the brand is unique as one of the first to offer its spiked seltzer on tap.
