I have to agree with most of this post.
When I found out the meaning of the reduction to 250,000,000 AS, I could not believe the math. I would have accepted a doubling of the AS, even tripling. But it is almost 8 times the original AS, in retrospect. I liquidated all my free shares and am only holding some 20s and 14s I recently bought, mistakenly. Does not want to file another 14C???? Why the F%$**& would he have to after that crushing amount added to the AS. Vanis has lost his mind if he thinks those weak excuses will hold anyone here that is not already stuck. And if in fact the AS does not have the overwhelming preponderance of shares post split, then he will have an army of harmed investors, dogging any and every stock he will be involved with in the future, I being one of them.

VitaminFIZZ, yes, tastes great, but maybe hit the market a year too late. I know there are at least 10 brands on the market that are near identical:

- Fruit Water
- Fruit H20
- Sparkling Ice
- Vita Ice
- Nice Brand (Walgreens House Brand)
- Super Chill Ice
- Polar Sparkling Frost
- VitaminFIZZ
- Cascade Ice
- Aquafina has the 'Color me Kiwi', 'Peelin Good' etc. variety
- Switch Brand

* I am sure if I keep looking I can find 10 more.. This space is crowded, and VitaminFIZZ sales reflect this, and this doesn't include the more clean and clear variety of sparkling flavored waters hitting the market too.

Sales are going to be a lot tougher in this space than anyone ever thought.. The more I reflect back, the more I realize how much 'pump' language Scott Vanis used..

I also understand that the R/S was the only way to move forward and build out the company. This really does suck for us '1st wave' investors, but splitting the stock and having the available 215 million shares is how the company is going to move forward. Scott says right in the PR, and if you read the Q you will understand that they finance the business with MINE shares. This is how they pay for the majority of transactions and are going to continue to do so..

The company is probably another year away from beign profitable, lets hope that it truly does one day..

Even if he said he wouldn't file a 14c again, would you really believe it?

His whole thing up until now was that there would be no RS.

Doesn't matter what is said at this point. It just matters what is done from this point on to either bring value to the PPS or dilute it even further.

We shall see....
