Thank you for the re-cap. An issue raised that was completely reassuring to me was the fact, as you pointed out, TCBG is not focusing on bringing their own brand of drink into the market, rather, their own brand of drink packaging. I'm sure we are all aware of the perils that exist in a new company attempting to bring a unique drink into the beverage world - out of 1000 companies that try to do this, there is one snapple. Nice to know that the company is focusing on an entirely different means to perhaps allow them to become the "snapple" of drink packaging. Never thought of the prospects of marketing to the airline, dairy, and hospital industries. Other grocery store chain names were touched upon such as Safeway that makes me believe following news releases will indicate total national distribution. As if Walmart wasn't enough. The other chains mentioned I'm not familiar with because they do not exist north of the border. Are they large chains? Are they somehow tied into the Winn-Dixie deal? We could be off the damn bb's by latest the new year. Jon sees absolutely no reason not to be. And he seemed really confident enough in his statement to merely pass it off as co. hype. TCBG is certainly in my mind going to be much more of national player in the beverage industry than I had previously anticipated. It seems Earl was partly responsible for the organization of this call. For that I think we should all thank him.
