I didn't say it would be overnight, I said , If they keep innovating, they can make a real turn around. Who knows, maybe the new guys from the old company can make a distribution deal with the new DPSG!!!! Did anybody think of that!?!?!?

That would be a smart move, Greg. The bottling group is still hurting from the loss of Glaceau, and Venom energy isn't out yet. An established brand like BooKoo would be a good companywide addition to their lineup.

True, true I like that idea, but I like mines to.

You and fusion may have a point but you are missing one key element... Nobody wants or is buying this stuff. There is nothing cool about BooKoo. I have yet to EVER see a guy drink one and have seen only 2 girls EVER drink it. The brand is dead in the water.

DPSG now has their own energy drink to get behind, Venom. They did a good job on the product and packaging, a 16.9 oz. resealable-aluminum bottle.

Well, I guess it's a good thing you are everywhere at all times, and seeing what everyone is drinking.

I am at countless Convenience Stores week in and week out and I am sorry Fusion in the last 2 years I have only seen 2 girls buy the product....that's it. I have talked to countless owners and they say the stuff doesn't sell. I am only speaking of my experience but maybe you can tell me who this stuff is for. Is a guy going to reach out for a Bookoo instead of Monster or Red Bull or Rockstar ? If so... why? It just doesn't make sense. Just because you have colored cans and different flavors does not mean its going to sell and sales are WAY down because ..... it does not sell through.

This thread is about BooKoo and not SumPoosie Cat Energy Drink but.... let me say this... my sales are not down 80%. So divert all you want the point is people are not BUYING Bookoo. And none of you seem willing to offer a reason to buy BooKoo or who its customer would be.

Another point about this thread is not where BooKoo has been , yet were they are going. They have made monumental changes in their management. They have done what few do: They recognized they needed fresh blood and a new approach. They have began the process to success,,,,,,hopefully.
Venom??? So what, How many ED's does Coke offer? I can see DPSG offering more than one. Similar to Pepsi and all of their ED offerings.
You throw enough stuff up against the wall and something is bound to stick.
