Idea for leaford

[DaShiVa]

Now, this is probably a little too complicated to manage the logistics, but I like the idea, so posting it anyway:

Invent 5 new flavours. Can be aimed at specific flavours or not, it doesn't matter.
Produce a limited run of them, going into plain black cartos, with "V4L #X" on the side, where X is 1-5, for each flavour.
Create sampler packs of them.
Either use them as your freebee addon for those interested, or sell for special price, $9 or something.
All those interested in being a part order them/get them.
Then the competition is as follows: Name the flavours.
The best names for each flavour win.
And in the process, you find out which flavours are good and which are bad, to know which to create full runs of.

Anyhows, seems like a fun idea to me, but not sure if it is viable.

back to work now.

Sounds like a fun contest to me, not sure how easy it would be for them to manage though!

I think this is a good idea as long as the mystery flavors do not include pumpkin pie. lol.

I think it would be a lot of fun... not sure how manageable, but fun none the less!

I'm still scarred from my experience with the Pumpkin Pie... *shudder*

I think this flavor guessing thing would be fun!

and don't include egg nog... =)

Would it be cheating if I made the mystery flavors from Chinese flavors no one outside of china would have ever heard of before?

Because, due to a translation error, I've got about 2,000 carts already ready to go for something like that!

Sounds Fun! I'm in .

2000? Sounds like fun! I am continually surprised by enjoying flavors I receive as bonuses that I would never have ordered. In those 2000 you may have my next favorite!

Have you tasted them?

I've never been good at these contests ... remember when fruit snacks would have a mystery flavor and they always used plain white fruit piece for the one or two mystery ones in the bag?

I vote yes, but I also vote to make the cartos white in the tradition of fruit snacks!

Yes, and I liked it. I can't say any more without possibly spoiling the mystery, though.

Leaford --- It's not durian or squid is it? Mmmm I think I could go for some jasmine tea though.

Well than I say we have a contest!

I love the idea!...but I think it would be alot easier if it was just one mystery flavor instead of five different flavors.
V4L could throw it in as a freebie in orders over $50.00 or something like that???
Or they could sell it in a box of 5 at a special price? If you end up not liking the flavor you could wash out the carts anyway.

Fantastic idea. I love mystery flavors... but then again, most flavors(even when the name is known) are a mystery as to how they'll turn out when vaped. As a recent example proved to me, I love egg nog, pumpkin pie, and cranberry. I couldn't get into the above said flavored cartos, though.

I'm always game to try out new things though.

It has to be more than 1 flavour, and yes, leaford, in fact it needs to be new flavours, nothing pre-existing.
The reason for more than 1 flavour is that there needs to be at least 1 flavour that every person will like, or at least an attempt to get there. Also, it's a naming game primarily, so having a few to name gives contestants leeway on coming up with names for their favourite. Ideally everyone would like all of them.
And as for new flavours, I mean nothing you have had in the past or present, but they can be 'plum' or 'RY69' or whatever
Anyhows, would love to see this happen
As for the logistics, there'd need to be probably a week or 2 that the flavours could go out in orders, sure some people would get them early, and be able to start coming up with names early. Then a week for votes to be placed. That way everyone gets a fair a shake as can be managed.
Also, the first prize could be something like '10 carts and a 30ml bottle of favourite new flavour' or similar, which would be appropriate?
Of course, the real prize would be that you got to name the new juice(s)

i think both dashiva's first idea and the chinese-mystery-carts naming idea would be fun. maybe a test run with the mystery carts, and if that goes well, go to the full scale 5 flav contest.

Yeah I guess the single flavour run would definitely be better than nothing, and after thinking about it for a bit, only slightly less than having a set of 5.
In fact, assuming we had 5 new flavours it might be better to make it into 5 separate competitions over half a year than to do it all at once.
Prizes could go out for top 3 names chosen.
I can easily see the V4L crew picking out the top 10-15 name submissions, and I could create a poll on those easily so that they can be voted on.

I agree with the white carts this way we can label the name on it to prevent some of us slower types from gettin too confused.

Sounds fun! Hoping for a Szechuan Chicken cart...or crab rangoon. wait, maybe not
