Lenny and snapple, the true fable... i remember when i was living in nyc and i went to visit my friend lenny. lenny is a harley davidson riding, nyc bouncer who sleeps days and works nights. i can't tell you how shocked i was to see lenny watching cnbc when i arrived. i knew for a fact he never owned a stock before in his life, i said what's the deal with cnbc? he said some broker i let into the ritz convinced me to buy 3000 shares of snapple on the ipo. it's split twice since i know have 12,000 shares and it's at $32 a share.... lenny sold later, got 32k for a 5k investment, he's never bought another stock since. when i asked what made you go for it initially, he said i knew snapple, drink it all the time, know it's good, and some other things i forgot. the point is people who never bought stock or people who never bought a bb stock are starting to get involved with tcbg. i expect as product hits walmart and winn dixie we will see more walmart and winn dixie store managers and the like jumping in on this. the built in straw is just one of those brilliant innovations that once you hear about it and see it for yourself you just know it's going to be a hit. mark my words people who never posted on si will sign up just to post here. i'm feeling so confident that in my profile i wrote it ain't over till the fat lady sings coke just bought out tcbg, few more great moves by jon i may change it to how long before tcbg is big enough to buy out coke$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 10 years? i'm young i can wait have a nice night all tcbg true believers Jesse
