Anyone know much? sounds pretty scary ;p
"Digging deeper, the sleuths found that Slusho! appeared to be owned by a large Japanese conglomerate, the Tagruato Corporation. Tagruato has a very sophisticated website, under the banner: “Exploring our world. Ensuring your future.” The corporation, whose CEO is one Ganu Yoshida, based in Marunouchi, Tokyo, calls itself “a collective of top scientists, engineers and businessmen committed to leading our investors and the whole of mankind into the future”. Is that benign or deeply scary, people debated? Among its other operations, Tagruato says it has “14 drilling rigs strategically positioned around the globe, each a billion-dollar marvel of modern engineering” drilling into the deepest oceans. The site divulges that the origin of the company “goes back to 1945, when our creator, Kantaro Tagruato, founded a mining company in Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s large islands. Tagruato, who had emigrated to Japan from Polynesia with his family as a young boy, started the company with dreams of ‘holding earth’s energy in my fist’.” And, carrying on the ocean-depths connection, The Slusho! website describes the soft drink as containing a unique “deep-sea ingredient”. . .
