Last Thursday, the temperature was warm, sunny and clear. Jenn and I were invited to Mountain View, CA to spread the Metromint love with some really smart and savvy Googlers (as they call themselves). If you didn’t know, Googlers have some pretty good benefits, including unlimited access to an awesome, on site cafeteria and lots of micro kitchens around their campuses. For fun and variety, Google asks their employees to vote in 20% of what they stock in those kitchens by hosting a food fair where a variety of food and drink producers get invited to sample exclusively to them. Over 4,500 employees came out during lunch to sample Chocolatemint and Spearmint Metromint.
I am sure you have heard me say this before, but I get to meet consumers a lot. Often when I am out in the field giving product and Metromint swag away, there is a general sense of gratitude in the air, but that day it went over the top. There was thank you after thank you, and on and on for at least 90 minutes! While I was giving away our reusable shopping tote bags, there were folks lined up beside me and Jenn hydrated them with some chilled Metromint as they waited in the warm sun.
Needless to say, I was so pleased to meet all of these Googlers personally and let them know how grateful we were that they invited us to sample, and in return each of them thanked us for sharing! Someone even gave us a shout out on Twitter! I must say, the power of resounding appreciation simply made my day. So in the spirit of reciprocity, I say to both brand new and long-time Metromint fans (Googlers included), our distributors, retailers, our awesome Metromint team nationwide and to everyone who helps to make these wonderful things happen~THANK YOU!
