OMG Paramedic, you are a funny man! COKE with a 1.582 BILLION market cap could chew Kona up and spit it out without even knowing it! If they decide to get into this market they will produce and bottle there own product! It's that simple! I am sure that responds they sent you was a standard copy and pasted letter.
I am LONG on KGKG but lets be reasonable. That's why little guys like Kona need to get a patent although they are very expensive. I am suprised no one in the sector has. I am sure there is more to it than I know or understand but if Coke or Pepsi want in, they have there own huge factories, distributing facilities, there own trucks, ect ect. This is why Kona needs to make a name for it self and a customer loyalty base. They could never compete with coke or pepsi on price ether.
