Well I'm from south Texas you -- -- raised and we let a drink if you monitoring lead did we absolutely do and we actually pick a restaurant based on Marguerite I think it's okay.
Very secondary I was in Dallas last weekend and we takes a lot of places based on Margaret is exactly so.

-- an alternative.
And -- and it tastes really bad man I asked her several months and almost years of going back and forth we finally came up with something we're really really proud of and that taste really really but it took you a long time to come up with -- it did it was back and forth in terms -- well in terms of -- -- -- -- of ingredients and then yes and giving it to a point where it was a hundred calories and you're getting it to where I.
I want it to -- I wanted to drink it and that was more important to me than anything.

But guys not me of course as you can see how much more aware of the -- calorie intake these days as well.
Absolutely I mean you know it's it I would you can't give up drinking Kenya -- I.
-- you know so I mean I just it was just it's a really really -- it appeals to men and women and -- -- -- process and and what -- -- is saying she was -- -- that they enthusiastic about -- I'm aware -- -- kind of getting an -- that's -- -- -- and so we're trying to get it out on the shelves at this point and -- you know just starting to.
Get into that right and I guess has some competition in the market -- -- was well that you're dealing with absolutely I mean you know there are.
-- several and I mean they're called ready to drinks are TVs he and down but I really believe that ours tastes the best.
And so do you -- truly.

Drinking -- in the control room while refusing.
I'm not practice Islam -- law.
And Mike is in there as well -- probably -- like knocking him back -- -- was so what's the next step EU is getting it to getting it to -- getting into a -- supermarkets and that kind of thing as well.
Well and and right now -- because because I'm from Texas we've certainly got into taxes immediately and unfortunately in Texas you can be at supermarkets but it really serving for the -- certain states we just actually 7-Eleven approved us and so maybe that's a big deal it is a big -- on -- on a thousand dollars that.

So we're we're really -- handshake and.
Well do I feel -- six I think it's a great concept don't give up the alcohol but kind of come back on the show that there is no better way to go back to drinking I think.
