Thanks for your response, and I agree that new products take time to find a home at the retail level.
I have been in retail grocery for what is now my 50th year and have seen many new products come and go over the years. The only so-called energy drink I can recall being in the marketplace when I began in the industry in the 1970s was Gatorade. It was actually formulated in 1965. I watched Red Bull, Amp, Rockstar, and Monster when they first came in the store and fought for shelf space. What a bunch of weird names, we thought at the time.
I remember in Toronto selling the very first kiwi fruit that came into the country. Nobody knew what those little furry things were, and for months we would order a case, sell a couple and throw the rest in the garbage. The only apples around were Macs, Spartans, and red and golden delicious. I was there when the first Granny Smith apples arrived and it opened the floodgates for dozens of varieties of apples over the coming years.
As far as energy drinks, it's always the first ones (like Gatorade in 1965 and Monster in 2002)that gain the first foothold and become a consumer favourite for years to come. Well, so has the MacIntosh Apple for that matter.
This is the enviable position RMHB finds themselves in. They will be the first cannabis-infused energy drink in Mexico, and there will be others, but it's RMHB that will be the kingpin for years to come if things are done right. It's great to be first.
Anyway, I digress....
I was just wondering if the initial order of 2000 cans has reached Mexico or not, and I agree with you that it will probably be next week. I would imagine that by the end of next week we just might have a podcast filling us in on how things are unfolding.
