in the 70s, Food of the Seventies

Comments left:	I was fresh out of college and took a sales job with a chemical distributor in Dallas,Tx. We sold to the food industry and being the new kid I handled a lot of the new accounts and start up companies. I called on the poke ems mfg plant in an industrial area in Dallas. The owners were a bunch of young guys in their thirties. One of them even roomed with ole Don Meredith of the Cowboys. Said he was crazy. Didn't seem to me like they knew what they were doing, even to a rookie like me. They were all really nice though and bought some raw materials from me but soon fell on hard times. The soft drink industry is brutal. They didn't seem to have the capital they needed to stay in business so I guess they folded shortly after I changed jobs in the mid seventies. It was like caprisun drinks today. Thought it was cool back then but they didn't make it I guess. Too bad,they might have been able to get patent and sell the cool packaging idea to caprisun. PepsiCo owns that today. Missed opportunity.
