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?? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Watermelon Man \* > \*\ ***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. . . Tripler I now have clean socks. ---

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?) 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/introducing-bold-new-zesty-tripler/60169.md?page=1)
