    It is a silly response and has nothing to do with this thread!!! She is talking about SumPoosie and "Oh, I wouldn't drink it..... eww, ahh." Whatever, if you don't get it ..... you don't get thankfully many do. This thread was about an energy drink promoting drug use... Let's get X'ed out..... well that seems to be ok? Some of you people are just balless wonders. An eyeball and let's get X'ed out?????????????????????????????
    It sickens me that everyone is so worried about SumPoosie which is just Poosie the cat. I am just sick of people on this board saying I don't care if it cures AIDS I am not drinking..... yeah right ok whatever.......give it a rest.

    Saint get a grip. I am complaining because that is what you do in this section. Let's get X'ed out promotes drug use. What is even worse is Bevnet taking them on as advertisers? Promoting illegal drug use is not cool.

    Hmmm. Wait! Isn't ecstasy illeagal?!? If it says "Lets get X'ed out", why were they even put on the market? This is why. If theres a drink that starts with an X, what would ya expect. They cant say "Drink This!" or "This is the best soda" That would be wrong. Xo Drink Starts WITH AN X so that's what you'd expect.

    Crow are f$%king kidding me???? Are really that stupid??????????????????????????????????????????
    Please tell me you are joking!!!!They have an eyeball changing colors saying Let's get X-ed out!
    That is clearly promoting drug use an I feel is the wrong message to be sending out. The name of the drink is xo why not say let's get xo-ed. Because don't want to an BEVNET has a responsibility to pull such an add. I guess BEVNET is worried more about a few bucks than sending a horrible drug message to the masses...
    What a shame BEVNET you should set higher standards than promoting drug use.

    There is a drink called Liquid X and also XTZ. Yes, they all refer to the drug. Liquid X shows on their statics a dance or a rave going on and says something about feeling the ectasy. XTZ doesnt really use any references other than its name. Basic thing is so what. Yes drugs are illegal. Yes, I hate almost all drugs and never find it acceptable to use any of them. I have never tried any illegal narcotics, and yes I am 24, right in the middle of it all. Energydude, you started this post because you felt wronged because people were saying things that were not positive about your products name or marketability. You can in no way really try to push Sum Poosie and try to tell others that they have a name that should not be used. The difference between the two is that it is targeted towards the younger scence of teens and adults that go in to buy these drinks specificaly for that rush. If they are to young they won't know the meaning and the parents wont care, if they are a mother walking by, they won't get the sales pitch or feel effended because they think it is just some think young kids say or do. Sum Poosie if put right on the shelf next to these drinks would get more of a responce. But mainly because it comes right out and says it. If you put Dickens Cider on the counter, depending on the age range of customers, 4 of the people would get it and either find it funny or offencive and the rest would glance and leave it at that. If you then put up a drink called Cock that penetrates between womans legs, well then all would get that and a few would find it funny while now leaving 7-8 people with other opinons.
    We all know that this drink is not promoting anyone to go out and buy ectasy. They are promoting the feeling of ectasy, which is something that is in the dictionary.

    Ron since you are 24 yrs. old and mentioned a dictionary you might want to use it to spell offend!!!! I am tired of you writing on this board and not being able to spell basic words. Your attempts at reasoning the use of drugs are sophmoric at best. The facts are that this coming is promoting "Let's get X'ed out" what would you think if a drink called "Blow" came out and advertised "Let's Party and do some Blow" is that ok with you???? Should someone anyone sell an energy drink and promote illegal drug use Ron?
    That is the question...not is something too risque! If you don't know the difference between too risque and illegal drug promotion... please pick up that dictionary!

    If you have read my past posts you would know I really don't care if I spel al mi wrds write. Also, you shouldnt really talk to people about proper grammer skills when your last 8 posts you have forgoten words, periods, and some mispellings. No one else here seems to be thinking, "Wow, this company wants everyone to start taking drugs." You don't have age restrictions on your product or web site, does that mean you are promoting underage sex? No, I don't think so, and most who have common sence don't think so also. I think everyone agrees that you are only attacking because you don't like that your product is being targeted over its name and this product is not.
    Seriously, you don't have a bad product, but you don't have a great one either. You should spend more of your time getting new distribution and accounts that trying to convince everyone here about your ways. It hasn't worked yet, and I don't think you are close to changing anyone.
