They were from a company called Wiengard, the same people responsible for 
bringing hypnotq over here. Sorry but I call these the perveyours of ghetto 
juice. It's the crowd that can't actually afford to drink that they are trying 
to attract based upon their advertising and self made product explainations. 
This in turn causes a great deal of frustrations with owners/tenders who make 
very little off of this drink because it's inversely priced. In my opinion 
they are a very irresponsible company in how they handle their promotions. 
They are like the young 21 year old who thinks having a cocktail is simply 
about getting smashed, as compared to a more sophisticated person who actually 
enjoys a cocktail for it's qualities that don't relate to how hammered it gets 
you. Advetising in such a primal matter is very crude, which brings shame upon 
the industry as a whole. I think that I might start my own personal boycot of 
all weingard products, hey my ops manager gets angry that I put hypnotq on my 
shelf anyways so now we'll finally agree on something. Also I urge my fellow 
professionals to boycot this product as well. Product placement is everything. 
Hey if it's in a cupboard next to your display whose going to be able to buy 
it. Yet it's still on hand for those insistent customers. So let's show our 
disapproval for the image they are trying to portray, because ultimately if 
their product does cause someone to behave in a violent/illegal way us as 
tenders can be held responsible in many parts of the USA.
