(OTCBB:CHPF), announced today that its Looney Tunes(TM) brand flavored milks have successfully debuted in major retail outlets in six states: Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Missouri and Kentucky. The Looney Tunes milks are being marketed and sold in these states through agreements Bravo! has with Quality Chekd Dairies, Inc. and Turner Dairy, a Quality Chekd member dairy. Through Bravo!’s agreement with Quality Chekd, a national dairy co-op with over 40 member dairies, the nationwide rollout of Looney Tunes(TM) branded milk will continue.

Several area grocers, supercenters and convenience stores are carrying the new Looney Tunes(TM) brand including Wal-Mart, Albertson’s, Kroger, Piggly Wiggly, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Amoco/BP stations, Exxon stations, Texaco/Flash markets and Express Lanes.
“The irreverent antics of the Looney Tunes characters have made them timeless favorites for kids of all ages,” said Rob Gruen, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Marketing and Retail Business Development, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “We are pleased to be working with Quality Chekd Dairies and Bravo! Foods on these unique products which we believe will be well-received by consumers throughout the country.”
The Looney Tunes branded 2% milk is available from Turner Dairies in 14 oz and 1 quart sizes, in five flavors: chocolate, featuring the Tasmanian Devil; strawberry, featuring Bugs Bunny and Lola; banana, featuring Tweety; orange cream, featuring Bugs Bunny and vanilla shake, featuring Sylvester and Tweety.
“Unveiling a national, branded milk line is unique. Through our market research, and initial sales results, we see firsthand the market appeal that a Looney Tunes(TM) milk brand has with consumers,” said Mr. Tony Guiliano, CEO of Bravo! Foods. “Partnering with Quality Chekd, we are able to penetrate the U.S. market effectively and we are very excited to have the renowned Looney Tunes(TM) characters as our national dairy ambassadors.”
“What we’ve got with Looney Tunes(TM) branded flavored milks is a one-two punch to get children and adults to drink the milk they need to maintain a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle,” says Mr. Steve Turner, President of Turner Dairy. “Flavored milks provide the same amount of essential nutrients as white milk, so if adding flavor to the inside of the package, and featuring widely recognized Looney Tunes(TM) characters on the outside gets more people to drink the milk they need, then we’ve done a good thing with this partnership.”
