The 'over 1 million bottles sold' figure is supported by a June 2026 report (over 1 million 750ml bottles across 15 states) and the brand's own site, so the bottle count holds. The 'number one THC beverage in the U.S.' claim is supported only as the company's self-described No. 1 online brand, based on confidential data, and a Nielsen-based No.

An ad makes this claim. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What we found

Contradicts. Multiple sources describe the brand as the No. 1 THC beverage sold online (company claim, citing confidential external data), not as the No. 1 THC beverage in the U.S. overall, which is the scope the claim asserts.[1][2][3][4]

Supports. A June 2026 report says the Willie-backed brand had sold more than 1 million 750ml bottles across 15 states, and the brand's own site claims over 1,000,000 bottles sold.[5][6]

Context. A Nielsen-based claim that the brand is the best-selling brand in the category appears only in a October 30, 2026 Inc article, which postdates the October 27 posting and cannot establish the claim as of that date.[7]

Context. No source addresses a figure of 300,000 customers; the sources report bottles sold (400,000 bottles by February 2026), so the customer figure is not checked.[2][3][4]
