Media roundup: Tropcn

Everything is “artificial intelligence” this, AI that. But Tropicana has never contained anything artificial. So we took the AI out of Tropicana by removing the letters A and I to create “Tropcn.” The refreshing name change made a splash at CES 2024 in Las Vegas and is found on 100 bottles hidden in grocery stores all over the country.

AI’s got nothing on all-natural goodness. And people noticed:
