Method

Alex Cooper announces Unwell Hydration on December 5, 2024 as an electrolyte drink aimed at women, made with Nestle and sold exclusively at Target from January 1, 2025 at 2.49 dollars a bottle, with energy drinks added later in 2025. Bloomberg reports on August 13, 2026 that Unwell Beverage Co. is shutting down after less than two years, with Target selling through remaining stock and a final Halloween run; Nestle has not commented. The rung that broke is the crowded functional drink shelf rather than the podcast audience, and the closure is reported rather than confirmed by the company. The wider Unwell network continues after a reported 500 million dollar investment the same week.
