UNIT OrderPopcorn Prize Ordering

If at first you don't succeed...try again!!

At Trail's End® it will always be our goal to provide the most flavorful and healthiest products possible. With that in mind, this fall we introduced our new 15 Pack UnbelievableTM Butter and 30 Pack Variety microwave popcorn with Canola Oil...to eliminate trans fat while at the same time reducing saturated fat.

These new products met our expectations for outstanding flavor and improved healthfulness, but the new oil has presented a few packaging challenges, so for the balance of this fall sale we have gone back to our original Unbelievable Butter product, the flavor all America loves.

Trail's Endhasshipped a bundle of stickers and the card shown below to your unit. Have your Scouts placethe stickerson the top right corner of your Trail's End order forms to inform your customers of the change.
