Yes. Its a very small point that i avoid artificial sweeteners. Especially these two. I will try the product and hope it does well but i will not spread stuff i am against. Sorry. Will just wait for coffee boost.
First let me say I hold a long position in MINE. And I intend to add to that. My holding here is basically based on the management team in place and their business associations within the beverage industry. All these guys, and their connections in the business, have been around the block and done so successfully (very) and I see no reason they will fail this time..
Second let me say,
So by your line of thinking if they could make s#!t taste good your ok with that...
I'm not saying VFizz is s#!t at all. What I am saying is there are many people out here, and that number is growing, that actually care about what we put into our bodies.. When I have to have a degree in chemistry to understand what it is I am about to eat or drink, it concerns me.
MINE management obviously has a different target group in mind.. BUT, I have no doubt they know what their market is..
I am here to make money and believe this management group knows how that is done.
I know this is a small point....... but how about actually tasting it before making a definitive judgement.
cant wait to be chasing my alcoholic beverages in college with this... going to get my whole college to buy in, and everyone else who is in college should do the same.. Once people taste this and realize its much healthier than soda more and more will buy in... This is a marathon guys not a sprint

Really? Sucralose and Acesulfame(bad bad bad stuff). Didn't they mention Stevia? Really disappointed with this. Going to taste like every other drink that uses it.
Not a big fan of those choices either. they want to attract to those making healthier choices but hope those people are not very smart or serious about those choices. The food coloring is a bummer, too. I'm sure plenty will buy it but I would prefer different marketing target. People are dumb and i suppose L5 knows this.
Well, for the past several months I've been wondering what the sweetening agent/s would be for the revised vitamin fizz. I was hoping it would have turned out to be something natural such as cane sugar or stevia but instead it's Acesulfame Potassium and Sucralose, both artificial sweeteners.
Here's the complete list of ingredients, at least for the lemon lime but all products have the same base: Carbonated Water, Erythritol, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate (to preserve freshness), Sodium Benzoate (to preserve freshness), Niacinamide, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Gum Acacia, Glycerol Ester of Wood Rosin, Ascorbic Acid, FD&C Yellow 5, FD&C Blue 1, EDTA (to preserve freshness), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Cyanocobalamin
I hope you realize that the company is not going to ONLY sell products through Amazon. In fact, the Amazon sales it not what is going to bring in the needed revenue.If you read yesterday's PR carefully,it states categorically that Amazon is to allow the MINE fan base to try the product before the product is more widely available.
I agree with you that most purchasers on Amazon would be shareholders and their relations but that's by design. As far as the shipping cost goes, its a non issue because I don't see it stopping product enthusiasts from ordering. Much ado about nothing really.IMO
OK audience, what is the word of the day?
Survey says........................ ACCUMULATE !!
MINE $$$$ Don't be silly...there is a huge market for vitamin enhanced beverages...if the choice was plain bottled water or vitamin fortified water, consumers will chose the fortified. As far as the shipping cost via Amazon...just submit a product request to your local grocer and ask them to get VitaminFIZZ on the shelves

I agree with you to a degree, but I believe we will start moving up gradually from here prior to release of fins. Just as we moved up from double 0s, we will move to upper 01s and more.
Shipping discounts are for heavy shippers. I worked in logistics for awhile and as a 20 billion dollar company we got about a 20-30% reduced rate. Mine right now would get almost zero reduced rate.
$9 shipping is about right
Go mine!
interesting week. looks like we just gotta be patient until q4 to gauge revenues for big movement imo. we also have other developments such as nationwide rollout, THC, and vitamin creamer to look forward to as well. just gonna sit back and be patient
read today in our newspaper that coca cola had a deal with Monster. hope something similar happens to MINE
imo

i'm talking about a class of beverages -- MJ infused drinks, as a class, will become more popular than beer imo. give it time, as legalization sweeps the world, and the beverage industry adapts.
MNST has had a great thing going, but i'm sure the market $MINE is aiming for with T.H.C. will be much larger than that.
no one is expecting a $MNST sized market cap overnight, either. nevertheless, growing revenues, quarter after quarter, will make lots of millionaires. especially as initiatives to trim debt and retire shares kick in.
see, it all makes sense. imagine that.
Ok this is my last post for the weekend here let's make it simple. Say inventory is 300 cases random flavors. Now there are say 250 shareholder all ordering. How long could it take one worker to box all 250 orders an hour? So figure his/her hourly wage is 10 dollars per hour? I mean you have to wait 6-10 days for your shipment to even ship so you know they are doing it all together.
Shipping is much cheaper for business I'm not sure exactly a price but for me to ship a box with the weight and for the size listed on amazon it would cost me 9.25 I would estimate they get at least a 50% discount. But I'm not sure I'm tired and going to bed goodnight and good luck
90% of the sales will be to people who have no idea this is a public company or even care.
