Gambler - Right On - The Straw IS a Big Deal. I can't tell you how many times my kids have splashed juice stuff all over the car, me, dining room tablecloth, etc. trying to get that darn straw in the box/container hole without squeezing it, shaking it, etc. Nobody really thought Post-It notes were that unique at first, either!

When I invested in this stock last week I talked to my wife(kindergaten school teacher) and my daughter(Gymnastics coach). When I told them about the built in straw feature they commented that the Carpi-Sun and other similar packages are a nightmare to use. Both the teachers and lunch room aids have a lot of difficulty inserting the straw. MY daughter told me that the kids she coaches during the year and in summer camps also have problems. Often times the drinks are thrown out. The parents like the healthier juices but the packaging is a real problem. After my talk with wife and daughter I bought more. Krpsmith

Let's take a small survey. Who here buys the "Wal-Mart" brand. I don't think I've ever bought a "Wal-Mart" brand product. I'm not dissing the stock totally, as I am a share holder, but I don't see anyone trying to show why it might not work. There is a good chance it will, but there is also a chance that they won't sell that much of their product. We'll see. I know the Winn-Dixie deal will probably be better on the revenue side for a good while. They still have to establish a name. Obviously they haven't, so they use the Wal-Mart brand name.
