This post is in regards to the latter half of what you stated, and Bob's statement that Coke didn't sign with TCBG. Steve you are right in saying that the packaging Coke will be using for their Minute Maid product doesn't have the unique patent pending "rip-it sip-it" system, nor can they use it in the future. I believe that you and Bob and perhaps a lot of other investors out there are missing the bigger picture. The news release Coke issued with regards to their Minute Maid product is big for us, of course, outside of TCBG issuing a release themselves. Why you may ask? Well, simply because it is underlining the fact that beverage companies are now turning to the pouch to package their product in. The pouch is more convenient, less costly, contemporary, and more environmentally friendly than the bottle, the can, and the tetra pak. And the public is wanting to buy it. By Coke putting their juice product in the pouch is a testimonial to us all on exactly how well TCBG should do in the future, and is further amplified because of the fact that TCBG has a definite unfair advantage over any other pouch out there in the market place. Granted Coke is the largest beverage co. existing today, but it is certainly not the only one. I also went through my notes on the cc. and low and behold discovered that Jon mentioned that the only product currently available to ship to investors, is the first product run of Brainforest, whereby they were ironing out any possible design flaws that just so happened to be recently mentioned by Bob. And they all were mentioned, and Jon said that they had been fixed. Perhaps Cav can reconfirm this seeing as how he taped the whole thing. Now when the product was shipped to me, I had forgotten about this, and as I stated was still blown away by it. As far as I am concerned, the score for the rip system tears fairly easily, and I never had a problem with the straw or spillage. Bob, I can't honestly see how you spilled it upon opening, unless of course you tore it open on a 90 degree angle or upside down. Please explain. I read that you've had a bad day Bob, and well it's now a new month, so I can only hope things improve for you. I ask anyone to look around at the current stock of bb's and try to find a better co. in terms of float, progress, immediate turnaround, management, you name it. And if you can, post the reasons (and ticker symbol so I can invest in it - just kidding).
