Eddie invites Jim to join him and Joe for a first taste of the Tumble Tussock cider. Joe thinks it's a risk, but Eddie explains that people trust Jim's opinion. A good word from him will boost turkey sales. Unfortunately, the first barrel is a disappointment. Jim describes it as 'sickly and thin', and resists Eddie's attempt to get him to use a more favourable euphemism. To their surprise the second barrel turns out to be perfect. Jim immediately orders a turkey in order to procure a bottle. When Eddie tries the third barrel he declares it to be awful. However, once Jim has left he reveals that it was really the best of the three. But there's no harm in exaggerating the rarity value of Tumble Tussock.
