Sometimes they could be an approved on something new on the market, but when they
began to investigate it is no longer approved. In this article we ca see the situation that happen
with the new product that is called Palcohol. The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
got in touch with the company that makes Palcohol, Lipsmark, and there was a discrepancy on
how much powder was in the bag they were selling. Lipsmark didnt know how much alcohol
could be in the powder and the TTB said that they approved in error about Palcohol. Finally, in
this article also explains that in the early 1970s the General Foods Corporation attempt to make
in couples of ways powdered alcohol, so this means that the idea of Palcohol isnt new.
According Sifferlin (2014) the process in making powder alcohol is that they took a carbohydrate
and break it down in the process called hydrolysis producing a white powder.

Only it took an email from a person to create a situation where there was a mistake in
approving the Palcohol. In this article we can see that this person was a representative for the
federal bureau, Tom Hogue. He sends an email late on Monday to The Associated Press about
that the approvals of Palcohol were issued in error. Finally, in this article explains with details of
the process of disapprovals that faces the Palcohol Company. Also, it explains how the Palcohol
it is made of where a professor of food science at Penn State University gives information about
that Palcohol is made by absorbing the ethanol onto some sort of carbohydrate powder.

Creating a new product that you thing that it is your idea, but when you start investigating
there was another person that had begun making your product. In this article tells us that Mark
Phillips the founder of Palcohol, his idea it is just a latest in a long string of such efforts, because
there are previous attempts on making powder alcohol. Reading this article you will find all the
problems that face Mark on the approvals of the product, on the name of the powder and on the
interviews he had. This process of the problem that he faces it is divided in three experiences: the
first one is tittle Micro-brewing up a storm, the second is tittle It's happy hour for tea, and
the third one is tittle Red Robin is serving wine milkshakes.
