Considering he's given up trying to sell it, and has been trying to give it away since last year and still has 12 cases left id say it's obvious it wasn't selling and not even worthy of being given away

I guess it all depends on what you would define as "selling". Selling one can to a person would satisfy that requirement as a FACT, right?

Was the energy and time it took to pitch to gas stations, grocery stores, etc. worth the amount of sales that occurred? No. Most sales came from online though.

We just did it on a lark as a little side project while we worked full time jobs. I am sure professional distributors who already have a network of other products would do a lot better. We had no idea how much we could move and just bought a pallet. In hindsight, we probably should have just started with the minimum 40 case order.

It was a fun experiment. Learned a lot of things through the whole experience that can be used in other jobs or what not moving forward.
