Gaining Momentum

Unifying Spirits is a legitimate Pennsylvania-based distillery known for 'Boba POPS' (formerly Cocktail Caviar), a patented alcoholic popping boba product. While the submission was poor (misidentifying the name as 'IronFang', claiming 'everyone' as the audience, and exaggerating traction), external search confirms the company has raised ~$1.3M in seed funding and secured distribution with RNDC in major states. The '2,500,000 marketcap' claim likely refers to a valuation, which aligns with their estimated ~$400K revenue. The project demonstrates strong technical innovation in food science but lacks the broad utility and massive scale implied by the submission.
