OOps...I guess i got a bit too intense there Earl. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. I'm with ya... I've been lurking out here for quite a while and seeing the Winn Dixie and Walmart names mentioned fairly often as if these names magically made a product successful..Although a strong marketing alliance with the industry leader sure makes the journey easier, I'm feeling that the "strategic partner" and "strategic alliance" moniker has become a bit overused in business today. Sometimes its a bit misleading. I feel good about the niche that TCBG is preparing to fill as well however I may just be a bit more cautious (or timid) Regarding the "zillions".... excerp from the earlier TCBG press release. "Each machine has the capacity to produce three million units per year. Based upon staggered machine delivery schedule in 1998, TCBG will have the capacity to produce a minimum of 90,000,000 drink pouches this year. The resulting sales in 1998 are expectedto be $14 million." ...Maybe I should have said millions!!!! :) regards walt
