7% vote High Interest in the titan Open Trap Bar Interest (view other new releases)
For reference, the REP Open Trap Bar received 22% high-interest votes after its release. However, the Titan Open Trap Bar did sell out over the weekend after its Friday release, so there definitely is a market for this lower-priced option.
3x would buy the Titan Open Trap Bar at $269
About 10.5% said they would buy this bar at $329 (current price) vs. 32% voting so at $269.
Honestly, that doesn’t sound like enough for Titan to lower the cost when considering margins and the work it would take to sell and distribute many more.
*Please note that the numbers were slightly off from what was mentioned on the podcast. The ratios were about the same, though.
