Will we be selling chocoalte bars that have a upc or barcode? Even if
we make up our own product code we should make sure the product and
its code are in the database, with reviews and ratings, so that people
can SMS for that information at the party.
We don't want to encourage people to buy products blindly do we? They
can use my cell phone if they don't have one or don't want to pay for
SMS. Everyone should be encouraged to go through the process before
the transaction is complete. I'll make a sign so that people are
encouraged to go through the steps while in line (or along the table)
1. pick chocolate bar 2. sms for info 3. buy bar
