As far back as 1990, they had a idea to develop a socially responsible green company, having previously organized events to raise money for cancer research, AIDs research, and to prevent domestic violence.
In 1990, David and his friends pioneered the energy drink category, being the the first in the world to add ginseng and ginkgo biloba to formulate their Energy Drinks, after noticing people lining up to buy ginseng root in Chinatown. They negotiated a 5 year franchising-licensing agreement with Grey Beverages, the largest independent bottler in Canada (now owned by Pepsi-Cola Bottling Group) to test market a E=MC² Energy Drink, for North Pole Beverages Co., in Western Canada (population 2 million people). The E=MC² Energy Drink outsold the Red Bull Energy Drink 5 to 1 and was the # 1 Energy Drink in the market where it was distributed; however distribution was discontinued when the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Group acquired Grey Beverages and SOBE. It was then sold only as as a limted edition item.
