122. Well the cute little bears are brown.

Cute little lizards are green.
The hears are all different colors.
Peace sign, whatever color you want.
Balloons in many different colors.

I just wanted to say something about colors since you seem to read that word in every post whether it is there or not. Just looking out for you.

But I am sure the "juice" is similar to apple juice. I mean they use some of the same images to market both products. lol

I have yet to see an adult say "awww, look at the cute little bear(heart, lizard, peace sign, balloon) on my nicotine delivery device". Too funny watching libertarians or addicts trying to justify the marketing of nicotine delivery devices to children. One thing is for sure, nothing about these individuals is progressive. Anti-regulation wingers is what they are.
