>>rocket fuel's Self-heating coffee shots... green & black's impulse buy... unilever's world cup 'fanimal'...
Coffee brand Rocket Fuel has filled a niche in the impulse market with its Rocket Fuel Power Shots. Sold as a hot espresso fix with added guarana, the click, shake and drink design means the coffee can be self-heated in the cup in 40 seconds without adding hot water.
