ANY COMMENTS?

John, your right.  As an old retired codger I love coconut water and coconut flavorings.  I have been drinking it for years.  However, I have not tried Cabana coconut water.  The "can" gives me a little negative vib, but maybe I can get past that and try some this week.  


Pulse is not using any preservatives and both glass bottles and cans are easy to sterilize.  Coconut water easily goes rancid and putting it in a can rather than cardboard is probably safer. 


That brings me to the lemonades in plastic without preservatives. I had negative feelings at first about the change to plastic.  I like the fact that the lemonades are bottled and the 20 ounces easily allows two persons to share one bottle.

(My wife and I shared one bottle last week at 'Smashburgers' in Cherry Hill, NJ, in fact she adds more water to hers thinking it is too sweet.)


When I saw the picture of the new plastic bottles, I thought "that bottle is very attractive"and looks like it will conveniently fit in the palm of your hand & be light enough to hold in your hand for a length of time at a sporting event, work, etc. (the bottle is too heavy to hold comfortably and costs more to ship).


When I read that Walmart requested the plastic, I turned totally positive to the idea.  There must be some easy way of sterilizing plastic without melting it.  Price point can be lowered.


10% Juice.   This does not bother me.  You can drink 100% orange juice but not 100% lemon or lime juice.  Its too acidic.  (unless your drinking shots of Tequila & sipping 100% lime juice drops off of your wrist!  After 2 shots you don't care what your drinking anyway ! Those were my much younger days in Washington, DC!)

Lemonade is mostly water.  10% juice is not unusual. Looking at lemonade recipes on the net, 10% seems reasonable.  It might be just a little low.


Stevia does not concern me.  It's a natural sweetener and comes from the Stevia plant just like most sugar comes from sugar cane, beets or corn.  Being a borderline diabetic the last few years I've been watching my sugar intake.  I investigated stevia and found in some parts of the world its use has existed for 100's if not 1,000's of years.  I went so far as to acquire some Stevia seeds and grew my own plants.  Chewing the leaves tastes just like cane sugar without the carbohydrates.  Some testing has shown it might even have a 

benificial health effect.  It may lower blood pressure.


SORRY ABOUT "running off at the pen".  I'm a retired engineer having spent 32 years researching, designing, testing systems to make the skies safer for all of us flying in USAs airspace as well as other nations airspaces.  I did a lot of technical writing & I guess I miss that.....didn't think I would!

I have a lot of time on my hands.

I'm new at penny stocks and hope I picked a winner.  I'm throwing a 'hail mary' trying to make my 70's more profitable.


Thanks for your patience!
