So are you saying the entire run of 30,000 cases, 350 plus pallets has been sold?
I am betting they have a good chunk of it left and are moving it as we speak through US Foodservice and any other deals waiting to be PR'd.
The pallets look exactly the same all 13 pallets, the 3 in front are Gma tea.
Where's the rest of the Tea Star if HFBG does not have it?
Let's get individual photos of all the pallets so Star and Hooka can be satisfied.
Oh Ok,
There is 340 pallets of tea unaccounted for follow the link.

Oh I believe there is Tea, and a big chunk of it is heading to US Foodservice very soon.
Hall of Fame Beverages is pleased to announce the "First Purchase Order from US Foodservice." Hall of Fame Beverages New Management and Grandmama have a very busy week ahead, but want to stop and thank long-term shareholders and US Foodservice in hopes of a long and profitable relationship. In coming weeks, "Grandmama's Sweet Southern Tea" is scheduled for distribution in New York's metropolitan area.
"You could go ask 100 random people on the street if they know the product Larry Johnson
is now promoting I would bet not one would say the Tea."- Hooka
Grandmama Larry Johnson is working hard to make his alter ego synonymous with Grandmama's Sweet Southern Tea.
You cannot deny his effort is there. You can also say it wasn't there in the past. This my fellow investors is the key to the Tea's success in this hour at this time.
The love for LJ and Grandmama will spill over to the Tea everytime he presents himself with the product and claims it as his own.
The branding of LJ and Grandmama's Sweet Southern Tea is huge.
Great potential here.
LJ on MSG soon
Watch if you can

LJ is Basketball, Grandmama, and Grandmama's Sweet Southern Tea.
Put them all together and you have a huge branding success story.
LJ working with the Knicks organization all weekend long. Grandmama Sweet Tea part of the job for this event per below PR.
LJ and HFBG already working with MSG so it would be natural that after the event he would be at the Garden.
Hall of Fame Beverages "Grandmama" Larry Johnson will appear with Carmelo Anthony, Knicks players and Legends with performances by the Knick City Dancers. It will all begin at Sports Center at Chelsea Piers, Pier 60 on Saturday, April 2nd from 11am-5pm EST. The "March to The Garden" 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament culminates at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, April 3rd. Plenty of refreshing "Grandmama's Sweet Southern Tea" to be promoted and served at the Garden of Dreams event.
I guess you forgot
Keep your eyes on Grandmama :)
LJ update,
After working with that tea at the "March to the Garden" all weekend, LJ has been spotted at MSG tonight

Proof that what we are seeing is not dilution will do just that. How many traders pulled their orders when so much talk of new shares hitting the market surfaced.
Watch Monday as the bid re-stacks again with new investor confidence. If someone wants to sell under .0002 there will be many waiting for those shares.
Oh and check out Zecco if you want to trade in this range.
Got my Zecco order in
Details Buy HFBG 8000000 Shares
Limit $0.00016 GTC
Estimated total cost $1,280.00
Quote Hall of Fame Beverages, Inc. (HFBG:OTC)
Bid 0.00 Ask 0.00 Last trade 0.0002
That would expalin why no one is getting these .0001's now wouldn't it.
Orders in for weeks with no fill. Strange.
If anyone is getting filled at .0001 please speak up.
You would think with 300 million plus (recorded at .0001) in several weeks there would be all kinds of talk about getting fills at .0001
I have requested the Ihub ticker be changed to ZICX.
Happy Trading!
Tea by the numbers for perspective
There appears to be 13 pallets of tea in the picture at this warehouse.
1 pallet contains 85 cases of Tea (1020 bottles)
13 pallets = 1005 cases (13260 bottles) in this picture
The original production run was PR'd to have 30,000 cases = 353 pallets of product.
30,000/85 = 352.94 pallets
So 13 of 353 means there is a whole bunch of product (340 pallets worth) out there somewhere if most of it is not already sold.
I recall containers of 2100 cases (24 pallets, truckload) each being delivered to different warehouses last fall.
I am not sure we can believe that 353 pallets has been sold since this run. But I am reassured that HFBG has product to distribute through US Foodservice and any other distributors at this time.
All for perspectives sake
My pick is HFBG at .0002 for this week.

Nice shout out on the show tonight. "Tea will be in New York like now"
Did I hear 7-11 mentioned?
US Foodservice was mentioned.
Great job LJ!
Grandmama getting out there
Changes to the website!
Looks like some updating on the HFBG web site has been happening today. Looking better. Facebook link, Dessert link and some much needed changes made. Look's like it is a work in progress still. Keep checking.
New Dessert page

Don't forget the interview tonight.
Keep your eyes on Grandmama!
I am sure the front desk clerk had all of the pertinent details regarding the usage of the ballroom. LOL.
Show sponsored by US Foodservice and only US Foodservice vendors or US Foodservice buyers were invited to attend.
http://allentown.usfoodservice.com/Lists/Calendar/DispForm.aspx?ID=5
Just the fact that HFBG was invited there and had a marquee spot speaks volumes.
Keep your eyes on Grandmama.
I will then take it that you accept that HFBG is in partnership with US Foodservice at the Borgata event.
I understand the deep concerns over BC and Foodtown. I share those concerns Ninja, since LJ has taken the helm and been out promoting there is a different vibe going on with HFBG.
The Tea is great, the branding is strong and right now it appears big distributors want a piece.
I will mark your post and in a few weeks we can discuss this again.
Meanwhile keep your eyes on Grandmama.

This show was sponsored by US Foodservice, they insisted that LJ and HFBG be there and put them in the premiere spot in the show at the front door. Representatives from US Foodservice were on hand during the show.
Very encouraging news from HFBG today.
Keep your eyes on Grandmama.

Grand Ma Ma has been having the time of her life the last couple days out in her travel's. Grand Ma Ma and LJ and his team had handed out over 1500 bottles of her Sweet Southern Ice Tea and she also introduced what she was baking and everyone loved here bake goods too! Grand Ma Ma had whipped up some awesome Red Velvet cupcakes, Crumb Cake, Brownies, and Sweet Potato Pie. Tasted great with the Sweet Southern Tea!!!
LJ interview at Borgata, pics later, awesome show.

The deal in LA for a production facility has fallen off the record. It appears to be a no go. They have past history in Pacoima with Hip Hop, no surprise it fell through or was never to happen. Very strange PR when that came out.
Vegas is it. Drive by and check out LJ in the strip mall.
Cru was splitting time and just could not follow through, you could see that happening from the beginning. They gave them too much and BC was not delivering anything.
They will not PR production till its done. Hope to hear about this soon:)
SRV, kinda have to agree with you on that. It appears too much time is taken trying to convince shareholders of things promised.
The pump is over. Love has said that forward looking PR's are a thing of the past. We will only receive details of finished business. I hope that is truly the case.
The tepid volume of late is uncertainty in the market as to what may or may not be transpiring here. Fridays sell volume was weak to say the least after the breakup news, shareholders are hanging in there and I believe some are re-charged by the latest communication.
Uncertain days ahead in the HFBG market, but we know this much:
LJ is standing behind this more now than ever, lets see if he can come through this time. If LJ can bring one of the most successful branding and marketing campaigns back (Grandmama) with any hint of the past greatness this could be huge. No one can argue that, time will tell.
Hendricks was trying to work for two companies Cru and HFBG. Love & LJ wants someone who is 100% HFBG dedicated to get this company going. Makes sense.
30 day evaluation showed that with Cru and Hendricks splitting time they would not be very successful especially when Cru was not following through on commitments.
Thomas love is an independent marketing guy in Houston TX. He has worked as a 3rd party brand and marketing guru for some time now. Hard to independently verify his claims to fame however.
