    Our one case allocation arrived at Madden Beverage about an hour ago. Single bottle only, 2 bottle limit.

    Madden Beverage in Saco still has KBS. Looks like it's single bottle only.

    Very pleased that I was able to get 4 bottles of this. Going to give one to my brother who is in Bangor, aka the land of no KBS distribution.

    Natures Way in South Berwick just got 2 cases plus an unknown number or Doom. I got 2 singles and a bottle of Doom there. I'd call soon if anyones interested!

    Looks like you lucked out: I called and they are now doing a raffle. $10 per ticket, but the 8 winners get three bottles each. Drawing is on 4/26.

    Not a bad deal actually.

    Except for the fact that you're out $10 if you don't win, which is kind of ridiculous.

    I assume you don't get reimbursed.

    I would assume so as well. I would do it if I hadn't found any yet. Wouldn't be the last $10 I'd spend hopefully.

    The more I think about this the more awful it becomes. Pretty sure Founders wouldn't be too happy to hear about a retailer doing this. And why wait so long to pick winners? Taking advantage of a limited, high demand product that isn't even your creation like this is a terrible practice. I hope this really isn't the whole story.

    Sounds like a great way for them to make money and for a lot of loyal customers to be KBS-less. They're waiting so long because they know it'll make a frenzy on this website.

    I hope you don't then have to pay for the bottles themselves as well. Can't say I'm interested in checking this place out now.

    Yeah...charging for the raffle is sketchy as hell.

    I doubt you pay for the bottles too.

    YOU LIIIEEEEE!!!

    I bet they were just putting them out a 4-pack at a time...which is actually an awesome idea...and I have enough...so I'm not even gonna check...but I hope there's more there now for others.

    It was the last one. I actually asked them to order it awhile ago and was told I'd get the case.At least he held the 1. Ron's a bit "forgetful" at times :wink:

    Nature's Way has canceled the raffle. They are now selling them Saturday morning at 8 AM, two bottle limit. First come, first served.
