Bravo!'s innovative Slammers(R) in the UK comprise three delicious flavoured milk drinks fortified with vitamins. Slammers(R) are now available in Amazing Chocolate, Cosmic Strawberry and Xtreme Banana varieties. Packaged in 250ml Prisma packs that are perfect for school lunchboxes, Slammers(R) are healthy UHT vitamin-enriched low-fat flavoured milk drinks that have a nine- month shelf life and can be sold from the chiller or as an ambient product off the shelf.

We are certainly encouraged with the acceptance of Slammers in the UK market and have worked hard in meeting local needs for a nutritious, great tasting flavored milk with our international brand," said Ibrahim Ashemimry, Chief Operating Officer, Bravo Brands International.

"We really do have a 'marvellous' new product to offer the trade and the support packaging has been well received in the UK marketplace by retailers and consumers alike."

Slammers(R) will benefit from a strong advertising and promotional support campaign throughout the United Kingdom, including a major nationwide sampling programme, eye-catching point-of-sale material and in-store events.

Great finish today

[puenthouse]

this is great.  I did not think it was going to come up this fast.  what in the world are they talking about in the other BRVO forum.  Talking it going down under .30?  Does anyone have any real projections out of this thing.  We are getting such big numbers in SOF now 50% say things are going to drop and the other 50% are the other way. 
"IM LOST WITH OUT DAVID"

[stocky]

Today I watched BRVO tape for almost whole day. I came to conclusion that some one is buying lot and lot of this. My opinon are sort of neutral now, but someone is more bullish then me and loading up. If this stock does not closes below $1 for next three days then today's rise would be more then just little buying.

If BRVO breaks above 1.2 on heavy volume then we may see some action. Will wait and see.

[setravis]

Great finish today

Yes a great end of the day.
All I can say is I'm holding all,have not sold a thing.
Long on this stock until something tells me different.

Foods International (BRVO, Trade), a brand development and marketing company that manufactures, promotes and distributes vitamin-fortified, flavored milks, announced today that it has launched a comprehensive new consumer and business Internet website at: http://www.bravobrands.com .

Bravo! CEO Roy Warren said, "As Slammers become more popular nationwide and abroad, it is important that our website provide consumers, investors and business partners with the very latest information on our growing product lines and business development strategies."

I live in a samll town in Central New Jersey and Slammers has made its way into the local A&P Supermarket.  This is a chain of stores in the NJ area.  I had to pick some up for a taste test for the kids, and of course the big kid, me.  The kids loved the Starburst flavors.  I had the Milky Way and it was very good.  Tasted just like the candy bar.  Good to finally see the product we've all been discussing.  I think this will be a big success.  The current action in the stock is very encouraging. Hopefull this will be a big week for BRVO.  This stock is on alot of radar screens right now.
