Nicken Cider
[edit]This page is about the company Nicken Cider.
Origin
[edit]In early 2023, Nicholas Burgess came up with the idea of a sweet and salty cider drink. By March 2023, he had brought his idea to life in the form of the drink, Nicken Cider, named after himself. Upon the release of Nicken Cider, it was not very popular, and it was mostly not well received. This was due to the sweet and salty trend having mostly died off. However, in April, sales skyrocketed after Nicken Cider released their website, https://www.nickencider.com/. [1]
Coco-nut Nicken Cider
[edit]On July 19th, 2023, Nicken Cider released its new flavour, Coco-nut Nicken Cider. Similarly to the first release, Coco-nut wasn't a big hit and never blew up. This is thought to be because of the inclusion of the experimental chemical, A-32. On August 8th, 2023, all stock of Nicken Cider was withdrawn from shops and called back to the Nicken Cider warehouse. On August 16th, the day after one of the shareholders got back from a tropical vacation to explore authentic coconut recipes, the Nicken Cider team started developing a new recipe, and on August 19th, the Nicken Cider team re-released Coco-nut Nicken Cider with a new recipe. This recipe included chemical C-16, replacing A-32. At the same time, they put up a sale for 20% off their entire stock. This release was a smash hit and ended up selling out not just Coco-nut but also the Original Nicken Cider by August 23rd.
The Original Coco-nut Sale
[edit]After the withdrawal of the original recipe Nicken Cider, prices for existing Coco-nut Nicken Cider skyrocketed. On August 17th, just before the release of the second recipe Coco-nut Nicken Cider, a 24-pack of original Coco-nut Nicken Cider sold for $7, 921.71 (NZD). Initially, a 24-pack of Nicken Cider was $19.99 (NZD)[2], which means it was a markup of nearly 400x the original price.
Websites
[edit]Throughout 2023, Nicken Cider has had many websites, launching https://www.nickencider.com/ in April, and https://nickencider.company.site/ in August, following the release of Coco-nut. The first website had a simplistic design, and was mostly focussed around information about Nicken Cider, whereas the second site was mostly focussed around the sales of the product.
