We knew when we stepped out to do this pump test all hell would break loose, advertisers would get angry, consumers that just bought a pump that didn’t fair well would get angry. Then trying to narrow down what pumps to test and if that wasn’t enough, we needed a facility that knew how to do a proper test without being biased.
