the only successful pyramids are the ones where the pharaohs are buried in.

Tommy, thanks for that link. I have always been wary of Xango/pyramid type sales schemes. Frankly, I’d like to know how much mangosteen goes into each bottle if they are selling $350 million worth a year! And since the seasons are so short, how they are storing all this mangosteen pulp and who is peeling it as I haven’t seen a mangosteen peeling machine yet… On the flipside, I should charge PHP2,000 ($50) for a tiny bottle of my artisanal mangosteen jam and sell a limited edition of just 100,000 bottles a year globally and I will make a mint! :) At least I can prove I put about two kilos worth of mangosteen fruit is in every 8 oz bottle of jam!!!

A bit out of topic but considering Marketman’s a huge mangosteen fan, I thought you would be interested in this article from Forbes magazine.

Hi MM…if what you were given to eat belonged to the goduck family, the neck is the prized meat and can cost an arm and a leg. It is usually sliced paper thin and eaten raw with a dipping sauce similar to an Oriental dressing like Ginger Sesame dressing just napped over the paper thin slices….MASARAP!!!! But here is the best part, I think…if they are a CLOSE relative to SCALLOPS both in TASTE and TEXTURE, maybe you can coax them into turning it into a cottage industry like making the XO SAUCE recipe that I shall be sending to you via my sister. You can show them what the raw ingredient and the finished product looks like. I think it will be a good source of revenue for them instead of discarding them. DRIED SCALLOPS can cost an arm and a leg depending on the grade….sounds good?
