Toronto, Ontario and Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2018) - ACME Resources Corp. ("ACME" or the "Company") and Rapid Dose Therapeutics Inc. ("RDT"), a Canadian bio-technology company focused on providing disruptive proprietary drug delivery technologies for the nutraceutical, therapeutic and pharamecutical market, are pleased to announce that RDT's "QuickStrip™" product won the highly respected "Top Ten in Grocery" award for non-food category at the Grocery Innovations Canada Conference held in Toronto last week at the Toronto Congress Centre.

Each year, the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers awards program recognizes the success of outstanding independent retailers and offers insights into innovations that are changing and enhancing the way retailers compete.

QuickStrip™ was spotlighted at the New Product Showcase at Grocery Innovations Canada 2018 - where Grocery Innovations Canadafeatured the latest and greatest innovations. The showcase was used by RDT as an opportunity to introduce QuickStrip™ as a recognizable consumer brand and product in the grocery and nutraceutical marketplace.

RDT's innovative QuickStrip™ is an oral thin film technology that dissolves easily in the mouth - under the tongue, or inside the cheek - offering consumers a quick, convenient, precise and discreet way to take nutraceuticals. QuickStrip's nutraceutical product line includes Vitamin B12, Energy (caffeine) and Sleep (melatonin) oral thin dissolvable strips. QuickStrip delivers nutraceuticals and supplements directly and quickly into the bloodstream - and can bypass the stomach and blood brain barrier.

"We are excited and honoured to have RDT's product QuickStrip™ selected to win the GIC 'Top Ten in Grocery' by industry experts and the media," said Mark Upsdell, Chief Executive Officer of RDT. "It is a fantastic achievement; Rapid Dose Therapeutics is excited to now deliver QuickStrip™ and our line of nutraceuticals to retailers and consumers - delivering health and wellness in Canada and beyond. Grocery Innovations Canada, the premier 'must-attend' B2B grocery and specialty food show of the year, was an action-packed two days of keynote speakers, educational workshops and innovative technology. This year's theme, LOOK BEYOND, focused on not just the immediate business concerns of technology, but that consumer and business relationships would be maintained."
