Alright,
What the hell is up with everything? Everytime I go to the grocery store, I can't buy just *plain* stuff anymore. It's all BOLD and APRIL FRESH or EXTRA STRENGTH or something.
Like, what happened to just plain regular "Tide". I just want some freakin' laundry detergent. I ran out of socks. I just want some clean socks. None of this MOUNTAIN FRESH crap. It's not like the chicks are bending down in the bar to smell my feet or anything. . .

And yes, I am Zesty thank you . . .

Trip, my man, you hang out at the wrong bars, dude.
Oh yeah. Minot. Sorry. Very sorry.

Tastes better if you cut back on the sugar (I always use less than 1/4 of a teaspoon), substitute Bourbon for the blended whiskey, use Peychaud bitters rather than Angostura, and limit the fruit intake to just the lemon peel.
Hmph...I seem to be following UncleBeer around and saying things to needle him. Could it be the weather? The pollen count? Is Jupiter aligned with Mars?

Zesty! Zesty!
Zesty times two!
Zesty, party of two!
Uno, dos, zesty!
Hey Zesty! Hold on a second. Zesty!
It's fun to be stupid.

mmmmmmm - I always wanted me a zesty young thing... or is it that I always wanted to BE a zesty young thing??
Be that as it may, Tripler, how can you possibly improve upon the perfection that is you???
No, I am not drinking. Well, water, but that's all...

Rats!
I was secretly rather fond of the "original Tripler".
And I even know where Minot is!

Mmm Trip, can you prove this? I think we need ourselves a taste test contest.

I like you.

You may be zesty, but you are not, as I am, magically delicious.

Eventually, people will tire of the BOLD NEW ZESTY Tripler and begin to clamor for Classic Tripler.

I was once told that I was fruity. Now, if I were a man, I'd assume this meant that I was effeminate. But I'm a chick. So I didn't know how to respond.
New Fruity Swiddles!

Perfection? Moi?!? Methinks not. . .
Ladies and Gentlemen, fear not. There will always be Original Tripler. And after the initial success with Bold Zesty Tripler and a handful of Guinesses at the local pub last night I am proud to announce . . .
Bold Rasperry Tripler
So now on the market is New Fruity Swiddles, Magically Delicious Hamadryad, Original, Zesty, and Raspberry Tripler. Should we look at a "Sampler Pack"?
Tripler
See what drinking in Minot does? It makes you weird. . .

I'm pretty sure that I'd have to say that I now have 33% more FREE!
I've changed my packaging, too, but the market survey hasn't revealed any change in consumer's buying habits.
For a limited time, like when Lucretia won't find out, you can get a free sample by just sending in a coupon with your name, phone number, full-length nude picture and a round-trip airline ticket from Baltimore to your city. Some restrictions apply.* Limited time offer (like, until she gets suspicious).
TRY SOME ORIGINAL BLUESMAN TODAY!
*You gotta be a female, and a hottie.

Mmmm... Bold Raspberry Tripler. Gonna have to try that.
I wonder if they're gonna make a Tripler Light. You know, "All the Tripler, half the fat."? ;)

What I wanna know is if Tripler is going to come out with a line of products for the ladies.
if that's not a set up, I don't know what is.

andygirl: What, doesn't Magically Delicious Hamadryad at least HALF count?

Funny you should mention that. I hopped on-line for the express intent of telling all the ladies about the new line. Strange coincidence!
And now one for the lovely ladies . . .

Tripler, you keep talking like this and well.... :)
So with the new Bold Raspberry Tripler, are you saying you are indeed fruity? Or would that have to be Fruit Cocktail Tripler?
I'm holding out for Milk Chocolate Tripler.

No, that'd have to be Fruity Cocktail Mixer Tripler. We're still working on the non-alcohol phase first.

*You gotta be a female, and a hottie. Ooh, here indeed is a toughie. On the one hand, Bluesman is one fine piece of man-meat. On the other hand, I really like Lucretia, plus I fear she could do some real damage were she to become upset. Hmmm...what to do, what to do...

Now you guys got me thinking hard!
My general manager of marketing affairs was suggesting we go into some kind of product variation...and put new versions of me into the market: Blueberry Man, Pumpkin Man, Gren Apple Man, Sourcherry Man etc...
Tripler, can I make a market research on your example to see if it works??

Sure! While you are at it, give out little coupons for $3 off when they buy two bottles. And think up something I can do with rebates. I've always loved rebates. . .

How about this: whenever you buy any Tripler-brand product, you can peel off some identifying feature and collect them, and if you get a certain number, or a certain combination, you can send away for prizes. Tripler t-shirts, bumper stickers, ball caps, leather jackets, tattoos, neckties, stained-glass windows.
So people will buy more Tripler, in order to emblazon their bodies and homes with advertisements for Tripler.
And of course, since no purchase is necessary, there has to be some sort of option (in incredibly tiny print) that allows you to get TriplerStamps by typing your name and address with a Smith Corona manual typewriter in green ink on exactly one-third of a 3x5 card, and send this with a SASE to some obscure address in the midwest (Minot should work nicely) in order to collect stamps in the mail.
As for me, I'm all about "The Joy of Jekeira." Like it? I also come in Jekeira Free, with a little touch of lemon.

I had the EXACT same thought, Bunny.
Followed quickly by: "He wants a midget named Bob? Why?" Then I realized....I really didn't want to know. :) (Nights getting long up there in North Dakota, Trip?) ;)
