Not Real? Been lurking for a long time and just signed up as a trial member. I didn't plan on signing up until I read Tim Luke's post about tcbg not being real.

Well it's real! I work for a one of the largest grocery retailers in the U.S. I don't know and couldn't say if I did, if tcbg or the rip it sip it package will end up on our shelves or not, it's not my call and I'm not going to speculate here. I have been bugging the person in our private label department about this package for weeks, and when Cliffstar showed up I got the opportunity to see it.

The pouch I saw and held was Brain Forest. It is a taller pouch than the Capri (they were side by side) but I believe the same capacity. The first thing I noticed is the straw is closer to standard size in diameter than the Capri, which I liked, as opposed to trying to suck juice through the equivalent of a coffee stir stick. I believe this was an old package, although it looked like the one on the website. Current packaging may be different, I don't know.

They wouldn't let me rip it, dang it!

I can tell you this, Cliffstar would not risk their business by bringing a phony product through the door.

BTW I got into tcbg at .70 and 1.37 . I have a modest position, but have moved 50% of my portfolio over to this and more if I can sell off some of my less favorites.

Have an up day!

p.s. Thanks to all those who have posted serious DD on this thread.
