my initial email was inquiring about Slusho. Which probably is why the reply is geared towards Slusho. I have replied to message see if I can get a non automated reply.

Interesting, this continues our trend of non-Japanese asian names.

The closest Japanese equivalents to all of these names would be:

"daiske" = "Daisuke" (last name is proper Japanese)
"Tzigane" = I dunno... maybe "Tsu-i-ga-ne" or even "Su-i-ga-ne"
That's a hard enough name to pronounce without making it Japanese Rolling Eyes

They pretty much told you to continue asking for more information! The bit of information that is blaring out at me is that he specifically referred to Slusho! being the 2nd most popular drink in Asian markets. Mark, when/if you reply, please ask them something like "How is it possible that such a great drink as Slusho! is 2nd place! What drink is 1st place?"

I'd do it myself but it would be better coming from you as you have created a context to ask questions in.

Does anyone else find it a little creepy that on the phone and now on the emails they always say "we'll find you"?

someone should do this:[serious]

ask them about any possible side effects of slusho! maybe mention a friend in japan or something who got terribly ill after consuming a load of slusho (HE DRANK MORE THAN SIX).

say that you are not worried but maybe curious.

ALSO

maybe a direct question like:
how can it be my friend in japan and his friends and family have heard nothing about slusho or your company before - are you faking your facts or living in a (fictional) parallel universe?

could also be interesting
