What is it? I'm missing it.
If he's getting paid a one time fee of say $4k, it doesn't mean he's on the team for the long haul. So hopefully his one time payment will get PLKD some clients.

Yes, please do. I'd love to eat crow on this. I have no shame. But honestly, if it weren't for ALL THE OTHER misleads and preemptive PRs that turned to dust, I wouldn't be such a Debbie Doubter. It's just a case of boy who cried wolf too many times in my opinion and I'm downright scared that I made one of the worst decisions investing my $$ into PLKD. Sorry ya'll. Just want to see progress. Tangible progress.
I look at sending a case of juice to the marketing dept. of IHOP parallel to an wanna be actor sending his head shot to Sony Pictures. Sure, it's a strategy, but not one that stands out. They already have apple juice, at least my IHOP here does. And it's universal apple juice for adults and kids and senior diners alike. Most Kids like apple juice, period. So i don't know why IHOP would think it's a good idea to carry two kinds of apple juice on the menu. Waste of $$ and redundant.
Waiter: " Yes, what can I get everyone to drink?"
Diner: " I'd like an Apple juice, my wife would like coffee and my son here wants an apple juice too."
Waiter: " Ok, so a Motts Apple Juice and a Pleasant Kids Juice?
Diner: " Huh? Just two apple juices."
Waiter: " You see, IHOP carries two brands of Apple Juice. One for adults and one for kids. "
Diner's Son: " Can I have a kids orange juice instead?"
Waiter: " We don't have that. Do you want a Pleasant Kids Apple Juice or not? it comes with stickers."
UGH.
Wow so product was shipped to Ihop. See the weight on the package? Tells me its one case of juice or water and another freebie. Do I think it's nice he's sending them a sample product? Sure. Do I think it's something to be jazzed about? Heck no. Just like the 7-11s and the children's hospital and all the other places. They are getting FREE samples and it's all local.
If you want to see how production is done, how distribution is done, how graphics and Animation is done is 2015, how share structure is public info, maybe you can learn from "Totally Hemp Crazy" beverage line and take some pointers.
RICO, your newly animated Raccoon on your FB needs help. It's not animation, it's a whack job and albeit creepy sounding, you can't understand what that character is saying!
If you haven't learned the VERBIAGE or how to spell, ask Chris Reynolds to do your PR work on FB or even Karent. I mean if I grew up in Russia for example, and knew how to "get through" conversations and face to face interactions with the locals, that's one thing. But if I was trying to sell a product in Russia and the conjugations and verbiage in writing was still something I was struggling with, I would ask someone who knew how to spell and write Russian to do my sales work. Please do that.
In other words:
Por favor, contratar a alguien para hacer su publicidad. GRASSY ASS!
I just pray some newbies will fall in here and buy up so I can get the hell out.
Oh my Goodness!
Rico, please spell correctly, conjugate verbs correctly, use the right words in your writings!!!! If you want to have a social media presence, even in your PRs.... You can not afford to misspell your words. Period. Hire someone to do Your posts and PR releases. PLEASE!!!!
this boat is sinking way too fast today. SMH
.00015
I wish Rico would hire someone else to do his FB posts. The daily misspellings alone is enough to make a fifth graders head spin.
There is a difference between:
Do and Due
Personal and Person
Guest and Quest
Where and were
for starters.... And why is he asking shareholders for a website layout preference based on OTHER company's websites?! That's what a marketing director is for! Ahh yes, the hook. Rico needs to keep laying out that hook.
I love the pics of other vans with big name retailers on them. Perfect for his FB groupies that want to fly with more rumors and assumptions about Coke, Ihop, Mc. Donalds, Vitamin Waters. Man, what happened to the Omni room fridge and the Marriott projections. lol. Is the van parked at a Starbucks still picking up more bids??
Looks like another shareholder got banned and questions ignored and deleted from the company's FB page. Oh dear.
But whoa- sending IHOP Marketing a free case of water! Wow. Exciting. I'd be more excited if he sent a free case to Disney. Speaking of which, I wonder if Karents Twitter Pal received his free case of juice yet.
Couldn't have said it better.
Tight pants. Don't forget about the right pants.
And BISPHENOLA isn't a word. That's like printing VITAMIND. Should've had a proofer for his shirts too.
As a graphic designer, the shirt design looks fine. But if I didn't know what Pleasant Kids was beforehand, I'd think the shirts are promoting BPA FREE. Not a consumable product for kids.
I agree, to a point. He never should of PR'd a partnership when there wasn't one. Well, Calvin announced that I believe. He never should have said anything until he was packing up his pallets to go to the event. So yeah his silence MIGHT be because he doesn't want to cause more "shareholder investigations", which would be smart. But I'm leaning toward he's being elusive because he's investigating a slander suit to have something to blame and " legal counsel" probably told him to button it up. Just IMO.
I think we can all agree that news has been bad and lies have been told, and no follow thru from Rico except avoidance and deletion of questions. But this doesn't mean that good news is coming because " IT HAS TO". That's the vibe I'm getting with all the " NEWS IS COMING SOON!", or "PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHATS UP ARE BUYING SHARES" projections. That's all that is. PROJECTIONS of HOPE that this company isn't run by a Fashionista in tight pants who just wants to create and sell shares.
But this is the first time I've seen Rico avoid social media all together for more than 3 days. No pics of his daughter drinking the juice, no B-List celebrities. Not even a " Blessing ", which he loves to do. I think he's just managed to create a larger block list of the FB posters who ask legitimate questions.
and here's my projections.....
So if I'm in the mindset of the blind ambition folk, Rico MUST be coming with good news or he wouldn't be so quiet! Right?? Ohh, I bet he's going to BLAST US ALL with news that he's teaming with Nestle to create Pleasant Kids Cookies. Bam! Right in our faces! Oh wait, no, He's going to announce that he's in talks with Ritz Carlton about filling their indoor pools with heated Pleasant Kids Water?? Swimming in Alkaline water is easier than swimming in acidic water, you know. Or maybe he'll say he's back in partnerships with BattleFrogs for the rest of the tour. If it wasn't for shareholder "interference" of "harassing" phone calls to BattleFrogs inquiring about PLKD, then he'd already be on his way to making us millions. Right? Must've been a pretty strongly worded phone call for BattleFrogs to drop Pleasant Kids and immediately pick up Kill Cliff as their Official Bottled Water for the series. All in two weeks time. All that advertising for Kill Cliff, none for Pleasant Kids.
But we all know he's going to PR his new "aparel" line of shirts. He'll sell them for $25 and every shirt you buy, you get a free case of juice. I can't wait.
He's just pumped because Karent promised him a case of Apple juice on the house. Free apple juice in place of an answer to his question he tweeted. Lol. See the convo here:
@buffalo2222 Let me treat you to a case of apple juice for being u, an amazing person! 🍎 We genuinely appreciate you support! #PleasantKids

Karent addresses PLKD on Twitter. Well, sort of. Good ol' BLULLISH. His support has been rewarded well. :)

What's your inside track? Did Robert send you his next PR and ask you to proofread it for misspellings? Haha. I hope there is good news. I've been hoping for ACTUAL and followed through good news. I read a lot about it, but unfortunately noting has really panned out in the shape of pps increase or nationwide exposure and availability except Amazon and the occasional Ebay offer.
I'm sure the Battlefrog Release of NOT having a relationship with PK helped oddly enough to PLKDs FB get more likes. Battlefrog website is getting a lot of traffic with the sign ups and upcoming race info. And a lot of those people are seein that press release and are probably Googling Pleasant Kids based off that letter. And finding the website and seeing the potential for this product and "liking it". That's why Rico is sweeping up all negative posts for all the people that are just learning about PK.
So in a nutshell it's true when they say "any press is good press ".
So either it's the Battlefrogs letter that gained more likes on FB, or Rico went out this weekend and gave out some water and juice and personally asked people to like his page. Or maybe he asked his daughter to get her friends to like it.
Yes. He deleted someone's post with the Battlefrog response link. Well it was there for a whole day at least. I'm positive it was seen by a lot of investors on there though.
In case you don't want to go to the Press Release Page on BattleFrog, it states that there was never any deal. So Pleasant Kids Water will not be there AS a partner or as an OFFICIAL Bottled Water of Battlefrog Rep. Geez catch up.
Awesome. Sounds like a fun event. :) And for a good cause. I hope you do well and have a great time.
Yeah. Is it in his garage? You can see a crutch, a beach chair, a blow up raft, and a photo on the floor. Or a record album/ magazine/ etc. At least he's saving $$ by packing up orders at the homestead.
"Ad Hockery". [ad hok-uh-ree]
Noun.
Reliance on temporary solutions rather than on consistent, long-term plans.
You know whats horrible? All Rico has to do is address the question. He doesn't have to explain why it fell through or why he allowed that PR to go out without confirmation. But to erase shareholder questions like it never existed is just passive bullying.
Here's how ANYONE would handle those questions:
"Hey guys. A lot has been going on here and apologies for being quiet. Just don't panic and hang in there and I hope to have great news for you soon. Peace. "
That's not so hard and I think even as something as simple as that would cool down some people on here.
"Battle Frog has planned 18 races in 2015 with over 6000 participants per weekend. Pleasant Kids has officially committed to participate in all 18 races across the country. "We are excited and proud to partner with such a prestigious organization. In our pursuit to brand Pleasant Kids as a household name, Battle Frog provides us with maximum exposure across several mediums such as media impressions through TV, Radio, Newspapers and Blogs. Website visits reach 216,000 monthly with 54% Male and 46% Female. Their Facebook page has 31,400 followers, Instagram 8,239 followers with daily posts and Twitter has 2,200 followers that posts 3 times a day. YouTube has 65,000 views Per Race. A typical race will consist of 5,000 racers, 400 spectators, 200 volunteers and government recognition in every state." said Calvin Lewis EVP for Pleasant Kids."
Too bad it fell though. That was huge potential exposure. So to those who say, " It happens in business, move on, no big.", I beg to differ? Two ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITIES/DEALS have " Fallen Through " in TWO WEEKS TIME and Mr. Rico never notified his loyal shareholder of the changes/cancellations. I don't think that's normal. The ONLY reason we ALL know about his no show at the Food Show and No Partnerships With the Frogs, is from us calling them and writing the directly. That's kinda embarrassing.
And being in "NEGOTIATIONS" is a hell of a lot different that SIGNED PARTNERSHIP. LOL. You people crack me up.
Awesome. So i guess you don't think it's important that Rico hasn't notified his shareholders that he won't be there. The PR was announced 2 and a half weeks ago. lol. Guess something pretty big must have happened for them to pull the deal right before he's supposed to go on tour with all that product.
I think so, because the vids are still on her twitter feed. No recent mention of Pleasant Kids tho.
Still no reply on his FB regarding trade show and Battlefrog. What do you think Nit2win? Wanna bet that he'll either delete those questions currently being asked on FB, or he will resolve it with a Photo of his daughter, or a simple statement, like " hey Guys. Quiet for a reason. PR coming!"
LOL
I do find it odd that Karent's Twitter still shows the deleted video box of the Ritz Kids Introduction. You think she would have taken that down by now. And PLKD FB page still has the false PRs about Battle Frog partnership up. So perhaps Rico is a vendor. Not a partner in the sponsorship. He does have a way with twisting words around stating things that'll keep others like Frank and Blu salivating.
But theres really no other way around " OFFICIAL BOTTLED WATER OF BATTLEFROG TADPOLE SERIES" and " PARTNERSHIP WITH BATTLEFROG ". And if it's not true, then it's fraud. Thats like me saying I'm in a partnership and the OFFICIAL SPOKEPERSON FOR EXXON because I pump my gas there everyday. LOL.
Wait what?? According to a few on here, Nestle, hundreds of 7-11s, Omni, Ritz Carlton, Children Hospital, WHOLESALERS, AGFLA FOOD SHOW, Hundreds of schools, Karent's dental practice and Twitter, and endorsements by the US NAVY SEALS! this is exciting stuff. I think they're all going to go in together and buy out PLKD! Yeah, thats whats going to happen! YAY! I can't wait until Rico confirms all this!
Lets not start with Karent's papers and degrees AGAIN, please? it's all MOOT. Just watch his FB and see how he replies to the " fallen deal" with Battlefrog. I really hope he does address it, as others have already asked him to clarify the situation with BattleFrog on FB. And then, we will have our answers.
There's nothing to follow on Twitter when the last Tweet was in JUNE of 2014. But unless theres a new Twitter I'm missing, Pleasant Kids Twitter only has 223 followers.
I guarantee if anyone posts anything regarding this on FB, your answer will come fast. In the form of a delete and if you keep asking, you'll get blocked.
Exactly. Just another slap in the face. Since I'm banned from his FB, I wonder if someone will post that link on FB for all the believers that what Rico says is %100 true.
Check it out everyone! :)
Official Sponsors of BattleFrog Series!
http://battlefrogseries.com/sponsorships/
And the same PR ALSO states" FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pleasant Kids, Inc. (OTC: PLKD) Natural Spring Water and Apple Juice proudly announces its new title as the Official Bottled Water of the US Navy Seals Battle Frog Series. The children's all natural beverage brand has become the choice beverage for the Battle Frogs Tadpole Series. As an official sponsor Pleasant Kids will provide our healthy beverages to the Tadpoles contestants and their families. "
Again in case you missed it.
"Official bottled water of the U.S. navy Seals Battle Frog Series".
That sounds Official, right? Ugh. So point to me where PLKD is mentioned anywhere as an official anything for the race. Unlike "Kill Cliff Sports Drink"
Better yet why don't you go to www.killcliff.com and see how they are affiliated and do business with the Navy Seals Foundation. Straight from the website.
""I drink a Kill Cliff daily after workouts for recovery or around 2PM to keep me charging through the day at full speed. It tastes great, makes me feel awesome, and I love supporting a company that in turn gives to amazing organizations like the Navy SEAL Foundation.”
