In Sweden we have 25% penetration.

One in every four houses so how long would take us to achieve that here in this.

I think the big -- -- Coke -- -- had love I love it it's it's -- challenger brand OK and we have a lot of stuff going for us we have nothing to apologize for we have big key consumer mega trends.

In our favor.

Environment hugely you know what this one bottle you can replace 2000 bottles and cans in your home in one year right okay.

Now it's not only in a -- you don't have to carry it's less oil to produce the bottles and cans -- -- to transport them.

Everybody knows that water bottled -- ridiculous right.

But people don't yet realize that bottled soda and canned soda is equally ridiculous and there's a lot more of them don't know what.

67 seconds and you're done so this is hurting this is -- raspberry diet so if you wanna -- done you have soda.

Right -- quick so we are investing -- innovation just at the same time we're investing in retail expansion so we got you know now we got Wal-Mart the we have bed bath and target and Staples and Kohl's.
