Heard from the boss, turns out 7-11 is only in NorCal at the moment, Bay area.
Current stores:
GNC
Vitamin World (I said Shoppe before, that's not the case)
Direct from iSatori (call in, and we have a buy 1/get 1 free promo)
The BOGO deal is better than dropping my name, so until they stop that promo, I'd recommend going with it.
Thanks Jim
Old thread I know, but I'll have to check my local GNC. How does this compare to Redline? (I'm never doing Redlines again...)
Redline recommends on their packaging that you should at least start with just half of an 8 ounce bottle. Our CEO, who has been dropping supplements for about 18 years and designing supplements for 8 years took a full bottle of the stuff and about had a stroke. The man can take some serious caffeine, but those are scary! He said the flavor was kind of like licking the bottom of a lawn mower too.
The bullet has a pretty good taste in most peoples' opinions. We've only had a few that really didn't like it. The flavor does a pretty darn good job of masking the vile taste that caffeine has naturally, and it's done without sugar.
We're now in all 7-11 stores in Canada (#1 energy drink there), and we're in corporate 7-11 stores, plus a few franchises here in the states.
Canada just got out new black cherry flavor too. We should have that in the states in the next few months.
I hope to have even more to hand out at GSW 09!
Jim do you know if that BOGO deal is still going on?
ever since you gave me one when we were doing my thermostat i have been wanting to get some... those are the most delicious energy drinks i have ever had.
Call up customer service at 866-688-7679 and drop my name with Mathias or Renee. I'm not sure what the specials are at the moment.
all 7-11's in canadia has to be big business. Sounds like things are going well.
How come you have been able to place them in stores up there easier than here? Seems like it would be more difficult to distribute internationally than it would be here at home.
One of our distributors is in big with 7-11 Canadia. He handled getting us in, and the Bullet just exploded, beating out 5-Hour Energy. 7-11 in Canada is also heavily corporate, if not all corporate. Down here in the states, many stores are franchise, and the franchisees decide what hits the shelf.
We are in all corporate stores here in the states though. Also working on shipping them by the container load to Japan!
I would have to think that the Japanese would eat (err drink) those little viles up. They like gimicky stuff like that.
Not to say your product is gimicky....but.....uh.....you know what I mean
I got some of the Eat Smart shakes from iSatori last week. They do a surprisingly good job of making me feel full, been very happy with them so far. Speaking of which, is there like a subscription plan or anything where they can just send me a tub of shake mix every few weeks?
hehe - that's precisely why we're having a hard time getting them in to some of the big corporate gyms (Bally's, 24 hour, etc)...you can guess what they say.
There are over 12,000 7-11 stores in Japan, and I think they're all corporate. I'm told that energy drinks are a huge market over there.
iSatori will be a sponsor for GSW 2009!
We have a new flavor for the Bullet (Black Rush - black cherry flavored), and I'll have both flavors on hand.
Take a look at www.isatoritech.com and let me know what interests you, and I'll be sure to bring some for sampling if I can.
So Jim when am i gonna see you on the food channel with people whipping up recipes with the stuff? Iron chef secret ingredient?
Seriously you guys ever gonna develop a calming liquid? Kinda like the affect of 2 beers without the alcohol (or calories).

I want a drink that does this to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrs
I drank 3 full size rockstars in 15 minutes once, wow. I had them at 3 in the afternoon then drank heavily that night but stayed up all night. The next day I stayed up all day, then drank again till I passed out for about 16 hours. It was awesome but scary...I literally couldn't go to sleep even while drinking.
