And the journey began. The family kicked into high gear and the names and concepts emerged: Ketchup Crayon™, Mustard Marker™ and Pancake Pencil™. The first product labels were designed by Rachel's brother Brandon Myrick - Honors Art Student and Do-Da Lead Graphics Apprentice .
Mom did some research and learned that Rachel had in a single moment thought of a completely marketable consumer product. All the research pointed to the need for a kid’s sized, fun, good-for-you condiment product. Everything was in place and the amazing idea was about to turn into real products.
NOT SO FAST. Things are never that easy. Who would have thought that finding a bottle and cap for the idea would require two years and a worldwide search? It did.
The original Do-DA bottle concept was perfectly round and easily resembled a crayon/marker/pencil. With issues like 'hot-fill vs. 'cold fill' and 'shelf life' and 'start up capital' buzzing about, the original bottle shape was not to be. With the child-like inspiration to climb walls, we persevered and found a beautiful “squeezy” bottle for kids. Though not exactly a traditional looking crayon or marker or pencil, the "squeezy bottle" option turned out great. Kids will love the taste of the all natural ketchup and mustard and the look of this special bottle perfectly sculpted for their little drawing hands. Parents love the low salt and low sugar recipe.
Summertime is fun and these products just add to mealtime fun. They are easy to take to the beach and fun to display at a BBQ or birthday. This is a must-have product for families that fits easily in your child’s hand and in your refrigerator.
