March is Women’s History Month, so we’re featuring female-founded brands and female-centric products as much as possible this month to celebrate. According to the National Women’s Business Council (NWBC), there are 14 million women-owned businesses in the U.S. (or 39 percent of all U.S. businesses), which is a nearly 13 percent increase from 2019 — let’s help propel this growth further. Fun fact: We would need to write 2.8 million Today in Gear posts if we were to feature each one.
Today we’re featuring a long-lasting, solar-powered speaker, cold brew jugs and a new rice cooker. This is Today in Gear.

TargetPlant-Based Cold Brew Now In a Jug
Testing notes: If you’re a fan of enjoying your cold brew at home, then you’ll be stoked about Pop & Bottle’s newest product, 48-ounce jugs ($7) of its light roast, medium roast and vanilla flavors. The female-founded brand uses clean ingredients, like dates, as a natural sweetener. The new offering is available at select Target stores through May 6 with a nationwide rollout to follow at other retailers.
