Big Scream = Big Business

 Cinema City in Norwich has comfy seats, a decent restaurant and is switched on to special interest groups - Hard of Hearing, Dementia Friendly and Slackers Club (for students)
 Autism-Friendly, Toddler Time and Silver Screen for the over 60's @CinemaCityNrw
 and my favourite - Big Scream for parents and carers with babies under one year old!
Look after the special groups and the business keeps coming - cafes take note.

 At £27+ a bottle and stocked at the top London hotels it may just have found a winning niche in the non-alcoholic drinks market. @SeedlipDrinks
