1 Sample True Lemon for you, 10 for Troops in Iraq

[wbarker]

http://truelemon.com/gratitude-mailer/

We've heard reports that families are sending 100% all-natural, 0 calorie True Lemon to their troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to help give the water fresh-squeezed lemon taste. Just like us, our troops enjoy the simple pleasure of adding True Lemon's refreshing taste to their water - literally anytime, anywhere.

Every time we get a request for free samples of True Lemon from a new customer, we will donate 10 packets of True Lemon to Operation Gratitude, a non-profit organization providing care packages to U.S. Troops.

It costs you nothing. It means so much to our service members. Make a little True Lemon go a long way. Our deployed troops will thank you for it.


Note: I signed up, and once I did, there were additional offers - I just closed my browser. I absolutely love True Lemon! I always take it in my purse when I go places to make my water fun!

An interesting fact from a newsletter I received from them:

Are your lemon wedges dirtier than you think?
Many of our customers forwarded the video links from HealthInspections.com and YouTube to us about a recent study that examines the cleanliness of lemon wedges that you get in your water, iced tea and drinks at restaurants. (View Health Inspections video.)

The lemon wedge study was done by Anne LaGrange Loving, a New Jersey professor and microbiologist. (The results of the study were published in The Journal of Environmental Health, Dec. 2007.) The study looked at lemon wedges from 21 restaurants and found that 69% of them had high counts of bacteria that could potentially make you sick (e-coli, etc.).

Professor Loving's hypothesis is that many restaurant workers don't use tongs or gloves when handling the lemon wedges which go on/in the glass so the lemon wedges may be picking up bacteria from the restaurant workers bare hands. She also suggests that lemon wedges may be cut on cutting boards which aren't properly cleaned. (Since restaurant workers may not think of a lemon wedge as something you eat, they may cut corners on cleanliness.)

Professor Loving is quick to point out that this study identifies a potential problem but people shouldn't panic. However, just to be on the safe side, Professor Loving no longer gets a lemon wedge with her water or beverage at a restaurant. And as many of you wrote to us, this is yet another reason that you carry True Lemon with you where ever you go. It provides fresh-squeezed lemon taste conveniently and without any sanitary concerns!
Also, watch the news story from St. Louis's KMOV TV which did it's own lemon wedge study.

Great post! It's great to see a company doing something like this for our troops. Thank you!

[wbarker]

Great post! It's great to see a company doing something like this for our troops. Thank you!

Yes!!! I agree - my brother-in-law is over there right now, and I'm going to go pick some of these up for him!! Made me feel good that they would think of sending them over there!

[countrypkin65]

Thank you! This is really nice for the company to do!:)

[Lyndsay1483]

Thanks, this is awesome how they are giving back to our troops!

[HolyCow]

Thanks for a great post. My son and his shipmates thank you, too.:)

[angndan]

Aww, what a great company! I'll order right now! ;)

[Vixan]

I always get emails from True Lemon. Usually it is the surveys. I got the same emails about the dirty lemon wedges.

[dali_]

Thanks
I never got this last time I ordered - Where it asks who you heard about it from, I put Other and made a note that I never got the last one, but who knows if anyone reads that :p

I never got it last time either!!! :( I work in a restaurant.......WE DO USE TONGS, ETC.!!! You wouldn't believe how expensive lemons are right now! :eek:

[danajc83]

Thanks....

[Motherofthree]

What a great cause!! I have received these before many times. I have gotten the lemon, lime, and orange flavored ones!!:)

[Cpogie]

Bump........

[PandaFan]

Yipee!! I've been wanting to try this product without having to buy an entire box of it! :)

[emazingly]

It's a win-win situation! Helps us and helps the troops as well.

[notyard]

I just hope that they truly follow through with the donations to the troops. Two requests many months apart for samples netted nothing, but as long as they are supporting the troops, I'm okay without my samples!

I didn't get them last time, but got them this time :)

[daisy]

[leona204]

Thanks! I signed up. More companies should do stuff like this for the troops, it's a great idea.

[BellaMia]

I got my samples today. 2 True Lemon, 1 True Orange and 1 True Lime. Can't wait to try them.

[Jess0587]

Received this today!

[Lady Bandit]

I sent a copy of the url link via e-mail to friends and family about the sample and the Iraqi part. I am sure they will take part in the promotion> Yes I have tried to get family and friends part of this site, but alas only one has done so. Thanks for the link and information.

[wbarker]

I got my samples a week or so ago - I received 2 of each flavor: lemon, orange, lime.

:) If you haven't signed up yet, please do so - you are getting some great tasting samples and helping our troops! I feel it is important to support our brave men and women who are over there!

[sonshineheights]

Got my samples in today's mail. Can't wait to try them.

[wbarker]

I've actually finally started using my samples now that the weather is getting warmer here (gulp - - - it hit over 80 here today!!!! I'm melting!!), I really love it! I've already bought some at the store, and I'm sending a bunch to my brother in law in Iraq!!

[Ryan's Mom]

Bump.......

[wbarker]

Bump - - - for a great cause!

[Ryan's Mom]

Just wanted to bump this up for those who haven't already responded.

[beccjack]

Thanks for the post! Thanks for the bump too, I missed this one :o

[MelNel213]

Thanks!!!
One of my best friends is in Iraq. Maybe it'll get to him too!
:)

[notyard]

I'm glad that they're doing something for the troops. Still zero samples here after four requests from this company through three different offers over the course of one year. I REALLY hope that they are sending the stuff to the troops, though. I can live without my samples, but they had better come through on their promise to our troops!

[mom2fussbudgets]

Jude, I'm in the same boat you're in. I've requested samples from this company many, many times, and have yet to receive any. I'm bumping this though because clearly they are sending some out. Hopefully, the troops are getting some samples as well.

[wbarker]

I've received samples twice - I wonder if it has something to do with where you live? the first time, I may have emailed them saying the sample never came??

:) Good luck!! I sent my brother-in-law some in Iraq, and he knew what they were and said everyone loved them, so I'm assuming they are sending them.

[Cpogie]

Have you tried to request a sample? I just tried and it took me to the eversave page after entering all my info. I don't think the request went through. Something isn't right??

[wbarker]

I just signed my husband up - no problems. Thanked me for requesting the sample, but did have an ad for Old Navy at the bottom I think!

[Cpogie]

I just tried again and got endless offers (again), tried to click on the "skip all offers", but it isn't working for me, I just emailed the company and asked them if they are still offering samples. I will post their reply when I get it.

[mommie]

Thank You! Mine went through fine!

Thank you for signing up for your free sample.
Check out some other Free offers below.

[Cpogie]

Ok, I just got an email from them, they did not answer my question so I emailed them again....here is the email. Also what I sent to them just now...

I found this link on a forum, is it still valid? If not, I would like to inform the others that the offer is over.

Great find! Additionally, if you go back to the main webpage http://www.truelemon.com/sample.html for TrueLemon and request samples, I believe they'll send samples of TrueLemon, TrueLime, and True Orange.
