Picky, picky, picky!!!LOL
Yes Cuda, but later PR's stated 3 Gas Station Chains.
http://www.csdecisions.com/2012/07/30/pizza-cone-comes-to-three-c-stores/
It says 3 gas station CHAINS and not just 3 stations.
Right on Pump.
This enterprise at CONO is a big money operation. Machines cost, production costs, promotions costs and packaging and delivery costs.
I spent decades running a Italian Food packaging business with very expensive machinery and printing presses.
If I had a dollar for every new product that was to come out right away,and was still waiting to come out 18 months later, I'd be rich.
One day the phone rings, and it's a go. That's just the way it is. Period.
Hey Pump how are you these days.
Got a few Cones at Seaside and the kids loved them.
Holding tight!
Got this Pizza Cone photo sent to me by my daughter today.

Hey Skip
Check the 2010 census stats and you will see the big difference between Nutley and the Brunswicks down here.
Income, and many other facts are different.
I'm not saying that I'm being critical just know that as I go from town to town, I can find the food stuffs different due to the make-up of the area.
Not being critical here.
We have to understand something here. Nutley is an upscale area in New Jersey. They have upscale tastes too. I'm not surprised that the cones are slow movers.
If you brought the cones into central New Jersey where the middle class and others shop at these Shop-Rites you will find that down here we eat anything. Fried, steamed, cooked on coals or cooked on a hot tin roof.
We're not so picky here, and the cones would move much faster. IMHO.
I want to say that the Seaside Boardwalk is a long one that goes the distance of about 1 mile or more. It has intersecting openings all along the way because of the parking lots are scattered along the way too.
There's a destination crowd, summer crowd and the regulars. The regulars go to their favorite bar and sit for hours at a time. This is why there are at least a dozen bars.
The rides and amusement stands are really for the kids. But there are also those 5 story rides for the crazy people too.
All in all I think Mitch needs to have better control over his product. I don't expect him to make much money here, but as a food testing place, it works I guess.
There are 5 major Pizza places, and a dozen minor ones. We can't compete with them with just two products. But I'm thinking thats not the goal here!
Already started to look.
I'm central Jersey and the Cones seem to be available up in the area where Interstate Caterers are.
But I'm always looking out.
Lots of bars and music. This boardwalk is an entertainment place.
Beer, women, men and lots of drinking too.
This is why Jersey Shore is filmed here!
I took a hike down to Seaside boardwalk Saturday. Problem was I got there at lunch time.
The stand was not yet open but just about everything else on the boardwalk was.
The booth shares a common space with a a sit down bar, and I asked the bartender when the booth opens. He said they come in around two o'clock. It was 12noon and I did not want to stay around for two hours waiting.
seems to me that Chippy's needs someone to open on time like all the rest of the booths. But, sharing a larger space with a bar is not a bad thing. I quess it evens out!
When it comes to the Boardwalk sales there's a lot to consider when it comes to hawking the Cones.
First thing is that the Seaside Height's boardwalk is a destination site. The rides and booths are just the attraction for the kids.
The Pizza and other restaurants there are the family lunch and dinner destinations. The rides are just the benefit.
The reason I say this, is because the parking starts at $20. Meters are only good for a short time so you have to feed it.
The private homes around the boardwalk have designated parking. So you have to park 1 mile away and walk to find a spot usually.
I don't expect a family to get Pizza Cones for dinner and carry them around. They want to sit, and air conditioning helps too. So Pizza Cones are an impulse sale at best.
This is good for the people who want to look at eye candy, and the people on the beach, or a concert. So the idea of a family visiting for dinner for Pizza Cones is really not a reality.
But the 2000 plus people there all the time during the day and many more in the evening. And that 7 days a week.
Don't think so. Chippys is not just on the boardwalk from what I know. I'll find out.
There are at least 20 pizza places on the boardwalk. None sell Pizza Cones. YET? Trust me it will be a hit there. I've to this place many many times. It takes a half hour to walk the boardwalk without stopping for the fun stuff. The people are strange and so is the Pizza Cone. Just up their alley!!! Go CONO.
There are a few Chippys around the New Jersey central shore area. I'm not sure if they did'nt take the sign down, or if they made a better deal with Chippys as a sub let situation. Time will tell.
What I do know, is that it's a start for us. Word travels fast, and this is the first Pizza Cone on the boardwalk. I'm expecting it to take off becaus people don't like to sit down on the boardwalk, they want to walk the boardwalk. With most pizza places you have to sit. Carrying it around comes with too many hassles when also carrying a drink too.
Our cone is really easy to handle, even with a drink
The Seaside Hight's boardwalk is probaly the 3rd biggest and most visited boardwalk on the East Coast.
Daily at least 3 to 4 thousand people and at least 20,000 on the weekends. And that's all throughout the summer and even longer, and it's every day because of the 1000 or so summer rentals around the Seaside area, Tom's River and up to Point Pleasant, NJ. Also, thousands from NYC drive down there like clockwork.
It has two large ride piers one at each end.I know this because I've got 6 Grandchildren and I have spent lots of time at this boardwalk and have a summer place up the road a mile or so.
"Jersey Shore" begins it's 2012 series on TV this week also, at the boardwalk. As many of you know, it's filmed on the Seaside Boardwalk where they live in a house there.
Memorial Day weekend when I went looking for the booth, I ran into a few Jersey Shore guys with their film crew trailing behind.
If the booth is really near Rita's Ice, it's in a great location, right near the rides. And, if the Jersey Shore cast gets some of these cones, and I can't see why not, they will probaly talk about it on the show. Being their all Italian. But this is Just My Opinion, so don't go posting it as real, but I think it's a great possibility.
This is a great way to test the product too, and if it's as good as some say, it will greatly help promotion of the product.
Let's hope it's opens on the boardwalk soon.
Could not get to the Boardwalk this weekend. Yard work to do, But if it did open this weekend I would think CONO would post it on Facebook.
If they did not open, then we really need a reason from the company. I know there's a lot of summer left at Seaside Boardwalk, and that this booth is just a way to test the product's reaction from the public.
I also think as was mentioned by a poster last week. Someone at the Seaside Boardwalk place needs to get part of the action.
Like Lundi's Restaurant in Coney Island Brooklyn years ago. No one makes money here, unless we get our piece first!!!
This IJMO - but I think it's possible.
Went to the Seaside Park Boardwalk in NJ today, MONDAY) and did not find a Cono booth. I don't know if there was a Keosk Setup for Saturday and Sunday, but I found nothing Memorial Day. I travelled the entire distance of the Boardwaqlk, and also tried to see if they shared a space with someone else.
The Pizza business on this boardwalk is well you know controlled so to speak. They could have been kicked out by the Pizza organization there. It's really a tight group there when it comes to food stuff.
Was the Diesel version the same Patent, or is that still with Watchit?
In the days leading up to the Patent transfer, Watchit promoted the Fuel Reformer with all it's glory.
Now unless Watchit is thinking of closing it's doors and running away to avoid SEC involvement for actually misleading shareholders and such, why would a Pink company do such a thing, when they know that no one would believe anything else they said or attempted to say. Other than providing a reason that makes money for shareholders.
Also, posters and other stock bashers would have a field day with this company, if they tried to even try to sell us another bill of goods.
There at 0.0001 right now, what did they accomplish with this transfer? Unless there something else going on here!
I thought they just sold the Patents to another company. That does not mean the the other company has total control over the Fuel Reformer. Just controls the Patents.
I was under the impression that there are many companies that hold Patents, but do not actually furnish the products. The Patents are like collateral, and worth money to the bank.
Am I totally wrong.
10's of thousands a day. I'll be there Memorial Day weekend as I have a shore house a mile away. This is where Jersey Shore is shot with Snookie and the group.
It's probaly the most popular Broadwalk in New Jersey if not the whole East Coast.
Hi Jazz,
I can't blame you one bit. But I have to still have faith in the CONO company.
Last year they missed the Patriots Baseball Triple AAA NJ team in Bridgewater NJ.
There were supposed to be Cones available for sale. Games begin in a few week at the Stadium. It's an excellent place to offer a drip free Pizza Cone.
Hoping I see them there!!!
Boardwalks open really big Memorial Day weekend at the Jersey Shore.
I'm just a mile from Seaside Height's so I'm hoping to get to the boardwalks too! Hope I see some Cones there!!! But no Snookie.
I've been with this stock since I was 3 years old. Now I'm 65. Well just kidding, as I've been with this stock for over 3 years now, but it sure seems like more!
I stopped posting on this stock for about 6 months now, because there wasn't anything to say.
However, now after all that has happened over the past week, I feel compelled to say my peace.
Like most of the rest of you, I feel that I've been cheated out of a lot of money, as I am in deep here. My first reaction can't be repeated here due to language issues.
However, after thinking about it for a few days, my survival instinct has taken over, and I have started to see some light here.
If the letter we all read, was really truthful, then I can see that without money, the Fuel Reformer was not going to become a reality. In fact, any money spent on it by the company would be too little, and too late to make a difference.
So, I am hoping that the company concentrates on some more simple tasks, that cost less, and more easily developed.
I will just sit on the stock, as I have no choice anyway, and see what happens. My money is in there, for better or for worse. Let's hope that Watchit has made the right decisions, and it works out even for some small profits down the road.
GLTA of us WTCT shareholders.
If theres a truck on the road, then I like to see it on the truck. Why do we need to wait anymore? Let's see the product mounted and in use. I'm sure some posters here would be happy too.
The link takes you to their web site. Under the Nutrition Facts there is a video tour.
Their website contains all the newer photos taken at the New Jersey site.

Ginger is here some say I left.
Do you think that the show in Atlantic City was a sham?
Product was introduced to the vending public at that show. It cost money to be there. Cono didn't show up just to help their sharholders.
Atlantic City and the people that buy for all the NJ boardwalks were there to peddle their products and place some orders. Be cool and have patience.It will come!
CONO showed them the Pizza Cone and with everything falling into production we should see them selling soon.
got my shares at scottrade 0.20
Lots of new photos came into my inbox from Michael just now. What are they actually building here, and for whom?
We'll all come out ahead in time Pump.
Hey we got Tebow here with the Jets.
Might make your teams have some bad days! lol
I don't think it's appropriate to make this kind of a statement - that Mitch is giving out insider information.
There is no proof that Pump has any insider information. Pump is just engaged with this stock, more than anyone else.
Hell, I live right below this location, and can go anytime I want if I call ahead.
Then I would know more too.
If trucks make it on to the road soon with the new technology, then this should allow for photos of the technology, because it's now out there for people to see.
I can wait for that to happen before I change my outlook on the company.
Really, I'm sure that this is a real company under the leadership of Raymond Brown.
Great, then your both right!
Why not say them same thing about your posts?
WTCT used the 8K as it was allowed to be used. Just because it does not prove out the results of the diesel version, does not make it a stupid move for them to use whats at their disposal and right to use to inform investors.
That is, there's no proof the the product is performing the way the company expected it to. Is that what your saying?
Is the 8K, a scam tactic by the company to sell shares in your opinion? Why not just say so? Your entitled to that.
I live by the old say: For every action there is a reaction.
My point is that a PR done by a paid promotion company can be lied about as to who authorized it or not, and who put what in it.
My concern here is not the content of the 8K but it's status and electronic signature of the company CEO.
If you feel that an 8K is of no value unless fully substantiated by documented proof, then why even have one if it's no more important than a PR.
Is not an 8K filing more important as it carries with it the weight of an officially filed declaration to the SEC and not just a paid advertising PR.
If a scam was here and a fraud suit was filed against the ompany, a fluff PR would have very little evidence as a scam.
But a filed 8K would mean the fraud was committed through the SEC, and there would be no getting away from it.
Totally agree Pump.
Grew up with 6 brothers all going into some type of business.
Had 2 business myself one went well, the other went bad.
My Dad worked till the end. I will too I guess.
Good luck Bud!!
