I have been watching this company for a long time now, and I must say that you seem to be the first person that I have run into who seems to know what he is talking about, and is not trying to hype this thing.
I have about a billion questions as to what the plan was to make this whole thing work. If you don't want to answer them because you would get into some sort of trouble, I understand perfectly.
I always assumed that were working machines, and I assume that (being prototypes) may have had a few bugs. But why didn't anyone ever see one out in public? I would have thought you could have found at least one good, very visible place that could have placed a machine, and, even if it wasn't 100%, you could have babied it along. You could have advertised the snot out of it, and I am sure that someone would have help tfry get them out in the field.
What was the plan to distribute all this food stuff? I mean, didn't you need to have to either hire someone to make the raw food product, store it, and distribute it and all that. Did the sale plan ever get that far?
Why did it always take so long to go to the next revision, and why were there so many.
Where you using real potatoes, or were they reconstituted. Not that it makes that much difference. I think if the tasted good, they tasted good. But it does matter as far a quality control, it does.
Do you know why Ed didn't just find someone to do the manufacturing for him? This should not have been hard to do, and I am sure he could have found plenty of companies to do it. He could have kept the patents and all the rights to the franchises etc... and licensed out the manufacturing.
And last (for now) Do you think there is any chance at all that this thing (the company and all) could ever work? |
