About ViB
Dallas entrepreneurs Travis Hollman and Johnny Dela Valdene know a few things about fun.
Right on the heels of their hit toy, The Marshmallow Shooter, the fun-preneurs are at it again
with their latest creation, ViB (Vacation in a Bottle).

ViB [pronounced Vibe] is leading the next drinkable trend: the relaxation beverage. Hollman
and Valdene launched ViB after seeing a growing backlash against the energy drink market.
ViB’s main ingredient is the amino acid L-Theanine, the same ingredient which gives green tea
its calming effect. Combined with other amino acids and B-vitamins, ViB is a low-sugar, no
caffeine, lightly carbonated beverage that relaxes, while increasing focus and concentration.

And, ViB has tremendous star power behind it. Singer and actress Jessica Simpson says
“Vacation in a Bottle is the most refreshing surprise. With my crazy schedule “ViB” helps me to
relax and stay focused. I feel less stressed and more balanced after just one. Who doesn’t love to go on a vacation! I can be there every day with Vacation in a Bottle.”

ViB has been the relaxation beverage of choice in many late night and reality show green rooms. Celebrity investors include: Cincinnati Bengals sensation Roy Williams, Dallas Stars’ Forward Mike Modano, Cowboys’ Tight End Jason Witten, Mavericks’ President Donnie Nelson, Phoenix Suns forward Amar’e Stoudemire, and Green Bay Packer Great, Marco Riviera.

ViB is available nationwide at major retailers including 7-Eleven, Arco AM/PM, QuikTrip,
Albertsons, United Market Street and many other independent retailers nationwide.
