Maybe I'm just not redneck enough..  I get the folks who wear real tree camo all the time as a fashion statement, not my thing, but I get it.  Isn't this a bit over the top though?

The marketing people at Realtree get is as well.  Why not market to those that like your other products?

Probably some of the same marketing people who came up with Harley Davidson beer.

Yeah, but you old folks do that with everything. (You make this too easy, Pine.)

If they would make some Yellow Nomex Energy Drinks then maybe our fire department would buy them  :lol:

Is it made from real trees?
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

In the real world it would probably make the hunter all twitchy and either spook off the game or not be able to hit them.   ;)

Just capitalism at work.  Here in the Detroit area we have Detroit Red Wings washer fluid for cars.  Apparently some people are willing to pay an extra dollar for red-colored fluid that works just as well as the blue stuff.

I have had one or two of these and they aren't bad.  Better than most in the flavor category, about the same in all others.

There are so many different types of these drinks on the market and it all comes down to marketing as stated above.  Not much difference between drink mixtures other than flavor and color.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Can you see your urine, or is that camouflaged, too?
