<<Your, Howard and Dan's perspective of Zicam totally ignores the realities of what it takes to promote, sell and profit from a consumer product of this type. You blindly assume a study yet to be released with create the interest to move the product off shelves into the hands of waiting consumers. Whats the basis of this?? Simply your belief>> Mad2, your statement sounds good and logical but it is not based on the facts that we have presented. First of all, you again ignore completely in your analysis nicotine gum. The company has said its development and release is its priority. This company makes gum. They have doubled their production capacity in the last year. You think they cannot do it? I know, you think they cannot afford to do it. LOL. Anyway, your arguments about Zicam and creating interest are specious in the short term because Albertson's has ordered 9 TIMES (you think perhaps they are just hoarding somewhere and not selling it?) and the product will be in Walmart, Kmart, Target within a few weeks. The initial supply is out there and the followups are being readied. Our belief has been supported by initial sales and those sales have been followed up by new orders from all over the country. Indeed time will tell and your odds of 1 in 20 are pulled more from your Mad(2) Hat than reality and are less factually based than our sales number projections based on orders out there and being filled as we type. Your last post to me I was going to ignore but since I am here I will rebut. You basically answered my post by ignoring what I said completely and by only making assertions that since I was a physician that I had no business sense or experience. LOL. And you know that by ...? LOL, my friend, I have respect for you, too, but I do not pretend to know your resume (or anyone else's here) - except Dan's MBA. Oh yeah, wait, he is "just" an engineer. Uh uh. Cheers!
