If you can't find Drank in a store then what is the likely hood of finding KOMA (or any BBDA product) anywhere?

Drank is doing horrible, post R/S (pre BBDA), and has been on a steady decline. Drank has proven (through filings) to be MUCH larger than BBDA/DLR but will still fail. Being blasted by the FDA did not help matters. BBDA/DLR may still have to face the FDA.

There is no faith in niche beverage markets right now because it has become over-saturated (pun intended).

I've seen it all over NYC and it's in certain areas in CT. They did about $5 Million in sales, or roughly $5 Million more than BBDA. Total category sales were around $10 Million so it's a small market.

I'm curious, which message boards are they being discussed on? I haven't found much talk but then again, the company doesn't seem to focus much on stock selling.

I know for a fact that Drank is in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Destin FL and Oakland. I have traveled to all those places in the last 9 months and have seen it there.

What's more is that I see it at 7-11, Shell, Texaco and so on. Not just a few select stores in the Austin area.

I don't think they are too much ahead of us if at all.


You should let the beverage industry know that they're mistaken and that Koma, a copycat beverage, should really be the leader. Maybe then they'll write an article on them instead of including BBDA from a google search.

Have them call and get get revenue figures from them so they can figure out who the industry leader is since you seem to think it's BBDA. I know Drank posts their financials. Where's BBDA's?
