Bangladesh Bomb - (Bangladesh's national tree) mangos exploding with all the other fruit flavors

Lord Ganeshas Dream or Punch - (Lord Ganesha was often pictured drinking a cup of liquid mango juice)

These are both great names. I don't know which one I like better because Clark has not sent me a sample of the juice yet. It's pretty hard to work like this

BITTER END

"As any able-bodied seaman can tell you, a turn of a line around a bitt, those wooden or iron posts sticking through a ship's deck, is called a bitter. Thus, the last of the line secured to the bitts is known as the bitter end. Nautical usage has somewhat expanded the original definition in that today the end of any line, secured to bitts or not, is called a bitter end.

The landlubbing phrases "stick to the bitter end" and "faithful to the bitter end" are derivations of the nautical term and refer to anyone who insists on adhering to a course of action without regard to consequences."

I learned something interesting. Awesome.

This would be a clever one as well sticking with Naval heritage.

DEVIL TO PAY

"Today the expression "devil to pay" is used primarily as a means of conveying an unpleasant and impending happening. Originally, this expression denoted a specific task aboard the ship as caulking the ship's longest seam.

The "devil" was the longest seam on the wooden ship and caulking was done with "pay" or pitch. This grueling task of paying the devil was despised by every seaman and the expression came to denote any unpleasant task."

I need you on my trivial pursuit team, except that the information is fun, and interesting. :p
