No excuses now. All parts of the US are covered with big guns. Massive sales campaign underway. All distribution channels open so all products can slide in immediately on introduction.
Big run DKAM. If anybody wants DKAM to bust open, now is the time. If you're a chartist, the chart is identical to one year ago when it ran to .60. All emas are confirmed now and the slightest buying carries it over .40 today. And for good reason. The Labatt announcement is pending. Will they get it? 300% growth this year cited in the WSJ last week and it is happening. Company could and should be sitting on a record quarter. Now the word is circulating that these new albums from 50 Cent, Eminem, and Dre will feature a DKAM product. Remember Pass the Courvoisier? Sales shot up for them by 1300%.
Aside from all that, the only company calling for 300% growth when you can't find even a handful calling for 50% growth. Most are negative for the year.
Make the play! It doesn't get any easier. You already missed a 90% move. Don't miss the next 200%.

50 Cent: The Money & The Power Finale here. Awesome to watch, and not a decision made without Chris Lighty there. Some damn funny snaps too!

You're gonna think I'm nuts. I'm used to that.
Eminem on "Crack A Bottle" makes reference to Crackin A Bottle, and then to Andre The Giant and Elephant tusks to Elephants have been to the room. Andre The Giant is not the wrestler. It is Dre.
Don't be surprised if you see Dre or Em or 50 or all three; the Three Headed Monster on Olifant. You heard it here first!
Grassroots even more important now!
Ooww Ladies and gentlemen
The moment you've all been waiting for ..
In this corner : weighing 175 pounds,
with a record of 17 rapes, 400 assaults, and 4 murders,
the undisputed, most diabolic villain in the world :
Slim Shady!
Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle
Don’t act like a snobby model you just hit the lotto
O-oh o-oh, bitch3s hopping in my Tahoe
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got gloves
Now where’s the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed there’s so many of them
and there’s really not that many of us.
Ladies love us and my posse’s kicking up dust.
It’s on till the break of dawn
and we’re starting this party from dusk
Ok .. let's go
Eminem
Back when Andre, the giant, mister elephant tusk
Fix your must, youll just be another one bit the dust
Just one up my mothers son who got thrown under the bus
Kiss my butt. Lick from under cheese from under my nuts
It disgusts me to see the game the way that it looks
Its a must I redeem my name n haters get mushed.
Bitch3s lust. Man they love me when I lay in the cut.
Fist the cut. The lady give her eighty some paper cut.
Now picture us. Its ridiculous you curse at the thought
Cuz when I spit the verse the sh-t
gets worse and worse cuz your soft
If I could fit the words as picture perfect, works every time
Every verse, every line, as simple as nursery rhymes
Its elementary. The elephants have entered the room.
I venture to say with the center of attention its true
Not to mention back with a vengeance so heres the signal
Of the bat symbol. The platinum trio's back on you hoes.
Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle.
Dont act like a snobby model.
You just hit the lotto.
O-oh o-oh, bitches hopping in my Tahoe .
Got one riding shotgun and no not one of them got gloves
Now wheres the rubbers? Whose got the rubbers?
I noticed theres so many of them
and there's really not that many of us.
Ladies love us and my posses kicking up dust.
Its on till the break of dawn and were starting this party from dusk.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Dre
Dr Dre
They see that low rider go by there, like Oh my!
You aint got to tell me why youre sick cuz I know why.
I dip through in that six trey like sick em Dre.
Im an itch that they cant scratch, theyre sick of me.
But hey, what else can I say? I love LA.
Cuz over and above all, its just another day
And this one begins where the last one ends.
Pick up where we left off and get smashed again.
I'll be dammed, just f-cked around and crashed my Benz.
Driving around with a smashed front end
Lets cash that one in.
Grab another one from out the stable
The Monte Carlo, El Camino or the El Derado
The hell if I know.
Do I want leather seats or vinyl?
Decisions, decision
Garage looks like precision collision.
Or maico beats quake like Waco
Just keep the bass low speakers away from your face though
Chorus : Eminem
So crack a bottle, let your body waddle.
Dont act like a snobby model .
You just hit the lotto.
O-oh o-oh, bitches hopping in my Tahoe .

Ladies love us and my posses kicking up dust.
Its on till the break of dawn and were starting this party from dusk.
And I take great pleasure in introducing: 50 Cent
50 Cent
It's bottle after bottle
The money aint a thang when you party with me
Its what we into its simple
We ball out of control like you wouldn't believe
Im the napalm the bomb the don im king kong
Get rolled on wrapped up and reigned on
Im so calm through vietnam ring the alarm
Bring the shaun dawn burn marajaun do what you want
Nigga on and on till the break of what
Get the paper man im caking you know i dont give a f-ck

Important to read regarding Grassroots.
Management as I said is embracing this concept and want to give it the attention it is due. With that, we cannot afford to step on anyone's toes. There is an opportunity here to land a MAJOR amount of business for Drinks with just a little bit of effort. As a pure Grassroots project, we can do whatever we wish as that is our right. However, as a class of shareholders, there could be some financial motivation that may or may not draw into question some legalities. In that respect, we cannot in any way offer ourselves as representaties of the company. It is what it is. You are a customer who wants to see product in the store so YOU and others can enjoy its taste and affordability. Just that simple.
Management is putting together some things for us that will make this very easy for all of us involved. As I said yesterday, distributor and sales manager contacts and phone numbers, as well as POP materials, etc.. They are also looking at giving us someone to work directly with us to oversee everything we're doing and stay on top of all questions and concerns daily; plus go in and sign large distribution agreements as they come about.
This could really be something big and a definitive game changer for the expansion we could invoke here. Let's keep doing what we're doing for now and we should have all the details ironed out the first of next week some time.
#1 on Hip-Hop, Eminem "Crack A Bottle."
As was said, the reference to "The Elephant"
Wanna play along for a bit??
Boston? Do you really want us to be known as the USDA? "Hey, buy our beverages! They are all homogenized! No artificial additives! Our management runs on methane!"
lmao
I'm trying to figure how to make it interactive so everyone can enter their own info. Yes, it will be a sticky. But might just put the map in the iBox. Then as everyone posts their info each day, we will update each territory with Sticky pins. Hey, maybe even some pics of produt on shelves. If Patrick OKs the best shareholder display contest along with these others for sales, then we'll hae pictures of the stores. Fre advertising for the retail locations. They'll love it.
You all ready? Better get what you can get.

Sounds great Fishin. See if there is any Duty Free anywhere in that region.
Grassroots Google Map Here!

I'll start adding the sticky pins and locations you've been to and talked to. I really need street name addresses and business names to get it right! Plus the distributor if you know who the store deals with.
On it! Should have it finished shortly. Great idea.
Kandy awesome! I will start updating stories. Then I need everyone to go into my post and clean up their info. We need this like store name and distributor if known so we can track orders.
Who says Kenny isn't on top of things? Amazing to watch...

Put Your Sales Posts Here! Here are some simple guidelines to follow for now.
1. Everyone add their name to the list below with a Metro area they can cover. There is no problem with doubling up as there are over 30,000 retail and package locations combined in the country. As you talk to a location, add your information below. Keep copying, adding your info, and moving this post forward as you talk to people until we get this formalized.
2. I am working on simple POP materials. For now, you are open to anything at that level i.e. package stores, bars, lounges, restaurants. I ask that you refrain from the superstore chains (family chains OK), grocery, and any distributors unless you know it is a distributor Drinks does not have a current relationship with.
3. Avoid the counter clerk at all costs and go right to the owner/manager. We will update the iBox as we go.
4. I will tell you this....management loves this idea and I will be adding more info here shortly. They are checking the "legality" of offering us incentives. But hey! If not, it boils down to organized word of mouth promotion.
5. A simple technique: Go in the store and look for Olifant. If it is there, find the manager and ask him how it is selling. If no flavors, tell him the flavors are awesome. If flavors, tell him Vanilla(or whichever) is your favorite. If no Olifant, tell him it was rated in the WSJ at #2 behind Grey Goose at a 1/3 of the cost. It would sell huge in his store....seems like he should have it. Let him know Drinks Americas just bought Olifant and they should have their other products. If Trump is there, then they should have the flavors. Tell him Grape is the Platinum Best in Show Winner last month at The World Spirits Competition in Geneva signifying "The Best Tasting Flavored Vodka In The World." Tell him Drinks bought Leyrat Cognac USA and have Dre, Busta, and 50 Cent behind the product. It will be huge. Just coming out. Topless Sparkling Vodka will be even bigger. Just coming out. Pre sale numbers are off the chart. You know people that have sampled it and they can't rave about it enough.
6. Get him/her to commit to getting something, anything that they will order. Tell him you will check back with him to see if it is in the store yet. Also, let him know that you are very active on a blog that is searching for these products nationwide as they become available. Once he has them, you will post the location so customers can find him very quickly over his competitors that do not have these products. :)
7. I am securing a detailed list of almost every major distributor in the country along with their sales managers telephone numbers so we can work on expanding the distribution network. If a single store says their distributor does not have it, then we will give him the name of a distributor in his area that does. If a store wants product and the distributor says no, then we will have a talk with that distributor if he is not a current Drinks customer.
8. As I said, we will refine as we go.

Putt had the best idea of the year. A 3x5 plasticized card with a clip to hang on the shelf where the pricing is in the liquor store that says,
Trump Grape Vodka
Best In Show - Platinum Award
World Spirits Competition 2008
Signifying Best Tasting Flavored Vodka
In The World
Then it will have Drinks Americas information on the back.
Just walk into any liquor store and ask to speak to the manager. Tell him you are dropping off some POP materials for their Trump Vodka products.
Most will say we don't sell that.
The sale just made itself. You know what to do from there.
Even better if Patrick can get us a stack and show up at all the distributors we aren't dealing with.
The same can be done for Olifant. We can use the #2 rating from the WSJ stating it would have been #1 if not for nonpareil Grey Goose at 1/3 the price.
I'm not sure. Ask Billy about that.
Pay close attention to the board over the next day or two. Should have a nice surprise for all the "Grass Roots" participants.
Nope Lee. We don't know. Patrick said at the shareholder's meeting they would be doing something. But he gave absolutely no specifics.
I checked on it Duke and management confirmed what I told you originally. I will say this one more time. Drinks has never, nor will they ever sell to a retail account, nor will they, or have they ever billed a retail account. Zachys has an internal issue with their distributor and that is it. End of story. There are 50 distributors in the NYC area that are listed on the Drinks website. Zachys could not have a beef with Drinks for any reason. Therefore, let's take 2 minutes to print the list out on the Drinks website and drop it off to Zachys. Tell them any one of those on the list would be willing to get ALL of Drinks products in the store tomorrow.
I was in Westchester County riding around on High Ridge Road and surrounding over the weekend. Yes, it is what you say it is. I was particularly intrigued how all the mansions are white.
Go figure.
Somebody asked about sales materials, or something to hand to the managers in the stores. Why not go to the Drinks website and pull any of those 28 flyers and sales brochures put up on Friday? I know there is no Leyrat on Topless on there yet. I have some of the Leyrat I can find a way to get on here. Or, you can snapshot any product from any website. You all have the Topless label from the Shareholder mailing. Everything is covered. Just a thought.
Hidden retailer at .24 and another displayed at .25 are small players with GTC's who don't need to be in the stock anyways. Rude awakening when the news hits and blows through .40. How you think the idiot feels who was blocking .17 and .18? About just as bad as the ONLY person who printed .13.
Why not let's get Cuervo and make it a trifecta?
Whee!
Would Labatt be tangible?
Lemme see what I can do
lol
We were just talking about that Boston. Memory like a hawk here on that kind of stuff. Last January when the stock started moving towards .30, it opened one day and had a goose egg for the first hour. Then buyers showed up and blew it through .30 with ease. History is repeating on all the other action per the pricing, right to .60. Did it again twice more on that move to .60. Why not this time also?
Kenny told a story at the SM about the nature of what could easily be called "the good ole boy" distribution network. Understand of course that distributors have a choice of several thousand products they could carry so the majority of them rely on supply and demand, as well as some incentives to carry product. Many times it boils down to one important reason...margins. Margins equal profit. In many metropolitan areas, a retailer or package location can have anywhere from 1-10 different distributors to choose from. Unfortunately, as many different products out there as there is, there is still those distributors that will each want to carry your products and can essentially overlap a territory. That is a good thing to keep competition alive. In one particular area, Kenny had a choice of funneling products, and particularly the Trump products through two different distributors. It would be as simple as getting off the interstate and having two gas stations to choose from. Convenience? Price? Cash or credit? Pick one. And that's what Kenny did. Just that simple. Never a thought. Imagine then if you were on fumes and had to stop at that same exit again on the next trip. Only, this time you find that the owner of the gas station that you didn't stop at the last time wrote down your license plate and knows who you are. The clerk informs you that the guy that owns the other gas station now owns BOTH stations. He has decided since you dissed him the last time, he is not going to allow you to spend any money with him at either station. "Just move along Sonny." That is exactly what happened for Kenny. Flip a coin and choose one. He did. However, it pissed off the one he didn't choose. That guy bought the company that he did choose for a distributor and then decided Kenny would not be doing business with either of them. I'm not an attorney but it seems this becomes a "refusal to deal" scenario and since there is no other distributor to work with presently, it borders on anti-trust, monopolization, and conspiracy. Of course, what we do not know is if there are other distributors in that particular area that we do not have a relationship with and one needs to be forged. If there are, and they are "collectively" refusing to do business with us, then we have a group boycott in which case Federal Laws are being broken everywhere and it's off to the races for huge fines and penalties, if not jail time.
Nice try Duke. Just one small problem. Drinks does not distribute to a retail location anywhere in the country. They would never call a retail location about a bill since they do not have any accounts receivables with retail locations. They would call on a retail location about carrying product especially if they were like Billy's location and they single handedly became the largest retail bar location for DKAM sales in the Northeast.
I repeat. Drinks does not have accounts with retail locations. Whoever called them about paying a bill would be whoever they bought their product from, and that would be a distributor. The distributor was calling him about paying the bill.
Your story will have 80 distributors up in arms. Is that your intent?
End of story.
I'm not messing around here. If in fact we are bidding Wild Turkey or Labatt, then it would make perfect sense for our company name to change to include the change in the business. Not a merger persay. But something that makes these iconic brands move front and center.
It was time to renew the name. So it went by the wayside. Just like "Blue" in the trademarks. It is still LIVE. Drinks Americas is abandoned.
Kenny has clued us in every time before to what was coming by the trademarks. Why should this time be any different? Stock has taken off flying.
Decide for yourself.
Worst market day on Inauguration Day in history. Go ahead and be all teary eyed at the second coming. Slowing it saps the life out of everyone's accounts that is in any other stock besides DKAM.
No wonder we are doing well. Liquor sales will be flying.
Every IRA should come with Kid Rock Beer for cheap consolation!!!
Would that be like shaking the proverbial family tree when one visits the outhouse? Slim? You wanna chime in on this one?
LOL
Of course, Drinks Labatt USA is available. Maybe they chose not to renew the company name for a reason.
I'm going to make an assumption for now that since it is the generic Drinks Americas they came on board with, it is being replaced with the logo version of the same name.
This is going ot be fun. Imagine if a hedge found out we got Labatt. They just start walking it up and catch all the flippers taking it out. Take out a bunch holding it for months just tickled to be a penny green. Keep the wide spread so they can't make anything by chasing a bid. They take out their shares and pat themselves on the back. Then the big news hits and off it goes with no shares for 1000%.
Great trade jumping in front of .27. You should be so proud!!!!!!
LMAO
Look at it relatively. It was .60 back in February. It was .35 during the summer. It was right here at this price when Kenny first announced 300% growth. Nothing whatsoever is priced in to the stock. It was oversold. Now it is back to where it was. No earnings move. No move for Labatt. No move for Wild Turkey. No move for 5000 presold Topless. No move for Cognac. No move for Leyrat. No move for 50 Cent. No move for Apprentice. No moe for Israel. No move for Germany. No move for Kid Rock. No move for 300% growth in article in Wall Street Journal. No move by the masses. Just a handful of buyers picking up what little float is left.
