Most people find the smell rather candy/banana like and pleasent. I actually prefer this product to other products BECAUSE of the odor. In my specific case it's just a pain in the ass to purchase. Shipping charges over the internet suck. Hopefully I'll be able to stop by a local U.S. national account sometime and easily pick some up.
As far as misleading investors with PRs...you do know this is a penny stock company right? And hey, a lot of blue chip companies release PR's too. It's a company's way of letting you know what's going on - otherwise, you wouldn't really know, right? But I guess they shouldn't keep us posted on developments? I guess investors should just try to guess what initiatives companies are undertaking, what they have in the works, ect. You live in a strange world my friend.
