Hello Gaelyne,

 VC> Did you ever have one of those drinks here called Two Dogs?
 VC> It is an alcoholic lemonade made in Sth Aust.

 GG> Yup.  The only drink I really could have gone for big time but
 GG> resisted temptation.  Twas too easy to drink.  I like it.  :-)

Ain't that the truth. 

 VC> Well I saw a story at the weekend that the company that makes Two
 VC> Dogs is experimenting with an alcoholic rhubarb drink that they
 VC> are going to call Rhubarb Rhubarb. They are going to release it

 GG> I'd give it a go.

Me too. It had a nice pink colour that looked very inviting.

 VC> first in UK and then expect to release it on the Aust. market

 GG> They used the same strategy with Two Dogs, didn't they?
 GG> Feed it to the Pomms... if they drink it, anyone will.  Even
 GG> Aussies. ;-)

I think so. Actually a lot of market testing of products often happens here
in S.A. The theory is that if it sells/liked in S.A. with our smaller
population base then it will be accepted in the eastern states. I have
often bought products that I liked to only find later that I can't get them
anymore because they weren't released Aust-wide because they were part of a
marketting test.

 VC> They also said that nearly 700 tonnes of rhubarb are grown 
 VC> commercially in Australia yearly.

 GG> Just like you said... what would Rod know?  

Exactly!! 

Vicki
