Project 985 is a project that was first announced by CPC General secretary and Chinese President Jiang Zemin at the 100th anniversary of Peking University on May 4, 1998 to promote the development and reputation of the Chinese higher education system.

(If you're wondering why so many Chinese government projects have appeared recently, it's because of the way they're coded. "985" refers to May 1998, or "98/5" in the Chinese date system.)

Concatenate to a single number: 29333933593379331193313. This number is prime.

"It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen. It’s an enhanced beverage, packed with 9 vitamins, 84 ionic minerals, and 5 electrolytes." Actually it just looks like another energy drink to me, but apparently "only 989 utilizes OnDemand technology, which protects the vitamins and minerals in the bottle’s cap". Doesn't seem to have reached this country yet.
