Q You know, one of the, the, the beauties of the product that you chose to, to focus on is that it's not that hard to make, right? Or am I wrong?
A You still have a lot of trial and error on the manufacturing side. I'll give you an example. So we meet with a co-packer, you know, we went through a long list of their capabilities. Okay. Can you do these shape of glass jars? Yes. Okay. Can you put the label on what type of cooking and processing capabilities you have? Can you be kosher certified? You know, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And so we design all these, these labels for our first run with, uh, Williams Sonoma, uh, And, of course, we had talked to them about being Kosher certified, so we put the Kosher logo on the, on the package. And, you know, we overnight at like a Holiday Inn, we show up, I think, at six in the morning for the first run, everything's gearing up, and the lead of the manufacturing plant is looking at our labels, and he's like, talking to his colleague, he's like, hey, uh, is this run Kosher? And then it's like, yeah, what are you talking about? No, this isn't, you know, this isn't a kosher run. This isn't a kosher line. And like they had answered this question of like, yeah, we can conceptually be kosher or, you know, we have done kosher before, which we took to assume like, oh, like you can just put kosher on the label. So we sat there with a Sharpie and we put a dot over every single kosher logo on every single label for that first run that we had for William Snow. Wow.
