Mr. Curious was mildly disappointed not to get the scoop on the wacky new paintball story but earlier today he was giddy with excitement over this snippet of info. Rumor has it the money & power behind the new paintball and the HydroTec kids is Kraft Foods. If so the potential to fend off litigation and ramp up to high volume production shouldn't be an issue as long as the new paintballs perform.
Later this week VFTD will break down where this move may take the paint wars.

Marketing opportunities galore. If each case come with a box of KD, I'm in.
Kraft foods? Holy shit, 10$ per case here I come. Could this finally be the turning point for tournament paintball practice?
Kraft foods is unlikely. Other than "proven success" Chuck Hendsch, the other person behind this is known in paintball for previous attempts at a glow-in-the-dark paintball line that failed, and attempting to do concerts/promotions at paintball events. Think he was involved in the early days of Super7, which is probably the Chuck connection.
Two words: cheese-flavored paintballs.
He was 'barely' involved in the Super7, and not involved in any depth. His girlfriend worked the Chicago event once in 2003. His name keeps coming up in paintball, but as yet he hasn't actually done anything, to my knowledge...
