Comic Appeal: Capt'n Eli's Mixes Comic Books & The Web to Sell Root Beer
Mainebiz-July 5, 2004
By Kimberly L. McCall
©2004

An unexpected treat. An engaging sci-fi adventure comic in the tradition of Johnny Quest, featuring high-tech submarines, flying mini-subs, time travel and lost civilizations. It's a well-paced, coherent story carried by solid drawing mixed with imaginative 3-d modeling and a very effective use of color and special effects. The fact that a comic of this quality is apparently in service of promoting a specialty root-beer company is kind of like finding a complete classic Fantastic Four comic in your shredded wheat box.

Comic Timing for Root Beer
September 1, 2004

To Whom It May Concern,
I recently bought a single bottle of your soda, it was so good that I purchased a 4 pack of your Cap'n Eli's Strawberry Pop, It was perhaps THE BEST strawberry soda that I've ever tasted! I tend to be cautious when purchasing flavored sodas as they tend to leave a bitter aftertaste. Your Strawberry Pop did not, in fact I even tried it poured over vanilla ice cream for a vanilla float / ice cream soda. I truly have never tasted something so delicious. It was rich, but not too rich, creamy, and had just the right balance of strawberry flavour.

Thank You for making such a delicious drink.
Sincerely,
Diane, Pittsfield, Me.

This is the kind of Root Beer you want to keep all for yourself, but share with everyone at the same time... Read more...

Ahhhhhh delicious! I really like it. So far I have just tried it over ice and it is excellent. I have bottles chilling to try without ice. I like that it tastes like natural blueberry, has a clean finish and does not have that artificial taste that some sodas have. Job well done!
yummm!

Hi. This is Jessica again. I am the one that did the science project for capt'n Eli's rootbeer. We just got some of the Parrot Punch when capt'n Eli' came to get his hair cut from my mom. We Love it!!!! It is the best punch we have ever tasted. My brother wants to have a pirate birthday party and serve pirate booty chips and Parrot Punch. We really like to drink from the tall bottles. The neighbor kids loved it too. We even got parrot punch t shirts!!!!

I recently tried your rootbeer soda at the Dry Dock in Portland Maine. It was awesome! I wanted to bring some home to my friends!

"Complex, spicy profile...Definitely worth a try for Ginger beer fans!"
"The clean finish of real sugar with just the right amount of fizz...Could there be anything more enticing than a parrot surrounded by delicious fruits?"

Captain Eli's rootbeer won us a gold medal in two science fairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We want you to know!!!!!!

Dear Capt'n Eli,
My name is Jessica. I am 10 years old. I used your rootbeer in my 4th grade science project and won a gold medal. I won first place at my school and then it went to the Placer school district science fair and we got another gold medal. My mom and my friend Morgan made our own rootbeer. We called it carbonation exploration. We made one with yeast and the other was carbonated with dry ice and then we compared them. We also studied the rootbeers in the stores and we did a taste test. My mom cuts hair and her client Mike is one of your new distributors. He gave us some Capt'n Eli's and we put it to our test. It was our favorite one!!!!!!! We displayed it in our Carbonation Exploration project. It was the best tasting and had the best foam out of all the rootbeers we tried. We can't wait until it is in the stores here in Sacramento California. We just thought it would be nice to tell you Capt'n Eli helped us win our gold medals!!!!!!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Jessica and Morgan of Sacramento, California

These folks have a clever advertising campaign, complete with an online comic of the eponymous Captain Eli, who turns out to be a kid from outer space who has all kinds of cool adventures. I love the marketing. I also like the root beer.
