(OTCBB:IFTP) announced today that preliminary sales figures for the week ending Sunday 9/10 topped the $1,000,000.00 mark. This marks the second week in a row that Torso Tiger has roared its way past a million dollars in sales. Infotopia's Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Hoyng, said, "The slowdown in sales that everyone in the exercise industry experiences in summer appears to be behind us. The elections and the Olympics may cause a few weeks sales to be fall under a million. However, the next six months are traditionally the strongest for the fitness category and with Torso Tiger's management team preparing an outstanding sales strategy for the coming months, this cat is hungry for more revenue and sales should continue to exceed expectations."  Ernest Zavoral, Infotopia's President, commented, "We are very excited about the performance of this product. It was very important for us to work with such a successful product in order to associate our name with it. The Torso Tiger is a runaway winner. We have been able to demonstrate our ability to make deals that work and it is attracting other products that we hope will be even half as successful as this one. In the coming weeks we will be announcing new products that are in early stages of development, and we will be reporting the Torso Tiger revenues semi-monthly in order to make room for all of the exciting news."
