[Anonymous]

I like their Pomagranate Green Tea. So delicious!

I hope you are not planning on becoming a food reviewer any time soon. Yummy? Are you in elementary school?

This thread was just pointed out to me about 30 minutes ago. After reading it, I want to make the following points:

1) Businesses both large and small do attempt to use message forums to market their products, often by acting as satisfied customers;

2) I have caught businesses doing exactly that on DCUM;

3) If the OP of this thread is a TJ shill, she is the least effective shill ever. There have been over 150 posts originating from the same IP address as the original post and only two previous messages mentioned Trader Joe's. One of those mentioned Whole Foods as well and the other was agreeing with someone else's comment about a Trader Joe's product;

4) There are a huge number of posts on the internet that seem to have subjects that contain "PSA" and "Trader Joe's". I find that odd. However, there is an equally huge number of messages that contain the terms "PSA" and "Whole Foods" and a similar number containing "PSA" and "McDonald's". I am completely dumbfounded about why this is, but I am now willing to bet that you can enter "PSA" and any other proper noun into Google and find proof of a conspiracy equal to or exceeding that illustrated in this thread. Apparently, beginning a message subject with "PSA" is another one of those Internet trends to which I've been slow to catch on (someone more up-to-date on Internet trends can reply saying "this");

5) Personally, I'm a traditionalist when it comes to cider and will stick to apple. I wouldn't touch pear cider regardless of the number of recommendations it received.
