I May have Read that NR incorrectly yesterday. I've reached out to the company for clarification. If/when I hear anything back I'll for sure share it. Where it described the several thousand sticks of 3 pack (each flavour ) , I read several hundred thousand of each (ie describing the initial order). While this doesn't change my outlook at all , when I'm wrong I do admit it. Yeah that sucks more than my scenario lol , but there must be a good reason for it. It's the missing info that leaves us confused. I do remember reading all the testing it goes through at different stages. Maybe that's taken longer than expected. My quicksand analogy still stands though. Things are always harder at the beginning like the first time I had to wait 30-60-90 for contract cheques and had to carry the costs, but then you're rolling steady and still getting paid every month. Once we are in full production with scheduled repeated orders (and successful working relationship with testing. Labs etc) I'm sure things will run more smoothly. I look forward to that day
