I will be lurking in your shadows. As they say, follow the money.
TBEV needed real money, not CDs. They needed partners. They tried to do it with CDs. It didn't work.
If I knew enough about beverage companies in 2012-2013 as I do now, I would have reached out to these guys in 2013.
It's a good product.
Unfortunately, any money thrown at these guys now would take too long to recoup.
This is not totally dead. But, without solid production numbers and distribution, it will die. TBEV is on life support.
