RUSH: Tanner in Cleveland. It\u2019s great to have you on the program. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Just wanted to comment on the iced tea from last week.<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: Yes, sir. One week ago we introduced Two If By Tea<\/a> to the nation.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I bought four packs of the iced tea. I bought two Raspberry, and I bought two Sweet Tea. And I did not like iced tea. I can\u2019t stand it. It\u2019s disgusting; I can\u2019t drink it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Wait a second.<\/p>\n

CALLER: So I —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why did you buy it if you don\u2019t like tea?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Oh, the reason why I bought it is because you kept saying it\u2019s the best stuff in the whole world.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It is!<\/p>\n

CALLER: So, I got it yesterday. When I went home, I found the packages at the house. I opened it up, and so I tried the raspberry. The most delicious thing I\u2019ve ever tasted. <\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m telling you. <\/p>\n

CALLER: It\u2019s really good.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You know, all of this is exciting to me, but last Friday when the first shipments began to arrive, I told everybody, I said, “This is a big day because this is when we find out if people like it. All the marketing in the world isn\u2019t gonna work if people don\u2019t like it.”<\/p>\n

CALLER: I love the raspberry. <\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, thank you. Folks, we do, too. Kathryn and I are among the expert tastersof these formulas, these recipes. We spent months going through just these two. We\u2019ve got some additional flavors coming online eventually (nothing imminent but they\u2019re in the pipeline) and we love them. We were very egocentric. I\u2019ll tell you how we did this. We did not sample these various formulas and say, “Well, I think people will like it.” We did it on the basis of we liked it. This Raspberry, I liked it. The Diet Raspberry, I liked it. It\u2019s the best I tasted. That\u2019s why I decided to go with it: I liked it;and there\u2019s ego because I\u2019m saying, “If I liked it everybody else will,” but it\u2019s a roll of the dice, a crapshoot. I\u2019m getting e-mails like yours, Tanner, from people who are going on and on about how it\u2019s the best-tasting they\u2019ve ever tasted, and they really do mean it. It\u2019s very gratifying. It really is. I appreciate your call.<\/p>\n

CALLER: You\u2019re welcome. I took it to work one day, I took it to work last night, and, you know, I gave a couple of bottles out. Everyone loved it. Everyone loved it but one person especially, he actually bought some today actually.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, God bless him.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I said, “You\u2019re gonna love it,” and they\u2019re like, “Nah.” The one reason they didn\u2019t want to try it is because the Maha Rushie was on it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m sure. I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They didn\u2019t want to try it because of that. I don\u2019t blame \u2019em, but they love it.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: I just wanted to let you know.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Tanner, I appreciate it, and you like it and you\u2019re not even a big fan of tea.<\/p>\n

CALLER: No. But I love the raspberry. I think I\u2019m gonna order some more next week when I run out.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, I appreciate that. I can\u2019t thank you enough. We get e-mails, folks, about this, and this really was a big test because all of the salesmanship and all the marketing and all that goes down the drain if people don\u2019t like the product, and it turns out that that is not the case. “Dear Rush: I received my first shipment yesterday. I purchased Raspberry. My wife is taking most of one case with her to work today to share at the office. The one bottle I opened and tasted…and tasted…and tasted. You have been very dishonest about the taste. You are not honestly telling us how good it is. It is much better than you have described. It is better than any other beverage, including adult beverages, that a person can find. My only regret is that I\u2019ve already lived 60 years without having had this tea. Thank you very much.” <\/p>\n

<\/a>That\u2019s from Lincoln, Nebraska. It is good. It is over-the-top good. Two If By Tea. We have a website… (interruption) What? You can use it as a mixer if you want. It\u2019s suitable for any beverage consumption. You are, H.R., investigating the various formulations with adult beverages as a mixer? Well, go for it. Two, t-w-o, TwoIfByTea.com<\/a>: $23.76 per 12-pack. That\u2019s how it\u2019s sold. Free shipping. Oh, and you know what? I heard somebody say, “Nothing is free,” so that means people think we are factoring in the shipping costs, still making a profit, and just saying free shipping. Let me ask you a question: Are you paying for the shipping? You are not paying for the shipping. The shipping is free. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m not gonna give away trade secrets here, folks. But at $23.76 it is a deal. You are getting a deal, given what\u2019s in this bottle. Given the bottle, given the label, it\u2019s a deal. It\u2019s well worth it. If you go to the website right now we are going to stock an entire town\u2019s Fourth of July party with tea. Well, not an entire town, but, look: You go there and you\u2019ll find out what we\u2019re doing. We\u2019re gonna have a truck roll in filled with Two If By Tea to a qualified town\u2019s Fourth of July party. It\u2019s your job to tell us why your town deserves it, and there\u2019s a form to fill out right there on the home page at TwoIfByTea.com. There\u2019s also a phone number if you\u2019re not computer-literate or don\u2019t like ordering things on the computer, online. <\/p>\n

The number is 866-662-1776. We have an official partner: The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. We\u2019re gonna end up donating a hundred thousand dollars a month to the MC-LEF, which is a charity that provides college scholarships for the children of Marines killed in action. So it\u2019s all explained, and pictures, and graphics. I really can\u2019t wait for you to taste it. This guy says I didn\u2019t emphasize it enough. It\u2019s… It\u2019s tough to sit here and say, “Hey, my stuff\u2019s the best,” but it is, folks. It really is. There\u2019s nothing like it out there. TwoIfByTea.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
