the birth of a beverage

bot was started in 2006 by the husband and wife team of Cricket and Brian Allen. On Cricket's passport her name is Cynthia but everywhere else people call her Cricket. People call Brian, Brian and while he wishes he had a more interesting nickname like Cricket, he has come to terms with it. They started their company in bucolic Princeton, New Jersey where they are raising their twin daughters, Emily and Lyla.

The idea of a healthy, low sugar beverage made sense to them because they could not find one on the shelf. If you have ever been exposed to children on the sugar high derived from a juice box you know this is an idea that parents would embrace. bot was the one of the first words uttered by their daughters and was instantly the name of choice for this new company.

As soon as bot hit the grocery stores in Princeton they knew they had something. People had been looking for a healthy drink for their kids that was also tasty. If you are taking the time to visit this site we would like to assume that you are one of those people, and we thank you. You should be seeing bot in a store near you in the not too distant future.
