I should have added that I meant they like at least 2 or 3 of the flavors out of the 4 or 5 they try.
I have no reason to post false reviews from coworkers, pizza places employees and customers, gas stations, or my personal friends. The ongoing reviews are they all like at least a few flavors.I am not misleading people. I have probably given away a few hundred by now as nobody in this area knows what they are and that has helps a bit. The teenagers above 18 to about mid 30's is most of my base and people that i am around consistently.
South Bend is also treated as a high test market due to the demographics for many retailers and has been listed in various marketing strategy books throughout my advertising and marketing classes during my college courses, so we have a decent area to test and obtain market research/reviews. Colleges are high in this area but so many are controlled by corporations or large entities. Notre Dame in general can be a nightmare to get into their campus and their bookstores. Time will allow things to get better when I have more free time to use my contacts from my main job to get to the correct decision makers. If I had to take a complete guess without listing each persons name I would say again each person that tried liked a few flavors. Some said Citrus was least favorite but everyone has different taste buds. Believe me or don't I am listing what I hear on a daily basis. Red bull doesn't taste great but they are booming. It's funny the more i drank red bull in the past the better it tasted. It all depends on the person and i am sure there are bad reviews but I personally have not received them from an estimated 75-100 people I spoke with after they tried them. I even got my very healthy parents to try them that are in their 60's and they didn't mind it. Of course, they are not the type to buy it but didn't say it tasted terrible. You can have the best tasting stuff on earth, Snapple, and still have people that do not like the taste....just sayin.
