They decided that the money would be reinvested in their remaining business, Tama Sparkling Tea.
Quaranto said as the cash was coming in, he was reminded of his early days with The Fuzzy Peach, where they would participate in the UNCW Beach Blast, an annual gathering held at the beach to welcome incoming freshmen.
