What came first? the dragonfruit or dragonfruit vitamin water?

As Co-CEO of Intellectual Dreamboat Fruit Company I am responsible for finding new and innovative ways to create fruit. So I thought I would use my summer vacation to find some inspiration. That came in the form of a 5 week long trip to Vietnam(thanks mom!). 
Living in Minnesota we do not have the chance to see a lot of tropical fruits, but instead purchase products made of those fruits or something like that. Enjoy! Salivate! or travel to Vietnam and experience these fruits for yourself!
