In Disney’s 2007 film “Meet the Robinsons,” a young orphan named Lewis begins to lose hope of being adopted, because his eccentric inventions scare off potential parents. Lewis is taken to the future in a time machine by a mysterious Wilbur Robinson, who turns out to be Lewis’ future son. In the future, grown-up Lewis is a successful inventor, whose creations have made others happy and bettered society, restoring faith in young Lewis that things will get better for him.
Much like Lewis, when creating an alternative brew, the founders of Venice, Calif.-based HOP WTR, sought to create a “better-for-you” drink for consumers to enjoy.
