🏃‍♂️ Two runners were braving the icy Clarens winter of 2025 when their frozen brains — but warm legs — stumbled upon the idea that would become Dino Drinks. On day one, the seed was planted. By day two, the juices were flowing. By day three, the concept was being fine-tuned into something special. Talk about a sprint to market! 🦖

Wilhelm Pelser is a computer fundi and a genius in his own right (his words, we're just going along with it 😉). He immediately realised this wasn't just about drinks — it was a brand with potential to stretch far beyond the can and into the marvellous world of the internet. He also took the lead on design, bringing the Dino Drinks concept to life with bold, eye-catching visuals. If it looks good, blame Wilhelm!

Johrné van Huyssteen comes from an entertainment and entrepreneurial background, with a colourful mix of successes and "learning experiences" across multiple business ideas. Interestingly, his very first venture was called Geblikte Afrikaans, which sold tins filled with everything from coffee and sweets to fridge magnets. Now, 25 years later, he has come full circle and is back in the tin business — proof that sometimes life's best ideas come in cans! 🥫➡️🥤

Together, these two frozen-brained visionaries created Dino Sappies — four unique sparkling fruit juice flavors, each with a lovable dinosaur character. From Freddy the Stegosaurus to Palesa the Brontosaurus, our dino crew is here to make every sip a prehistoric adventure! 🦕✨
