Prabhupāda: ...7-UP with ice. Hari-śauri: 7-UP? We'll have to send someone out for it. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Rādhā-vallabha should go.

Prabhupāda: So, so far I was there, it was successful. What was the next? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, we were selling prasādam. I think we must have made somewhere between five and ten thousand dollars so far from prasādam sales.

That's in addition to the free feast. We served a free feast to five thousand people when I left.

Prabhupāda: Oh, you did not stay there? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Well, still..., it's so big. I estimated that through three to four hours there were thirty to forty thousand people that went in and out of that park.

Prabhupāda: Still they are eating? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: They're still eating. Every piece of burfī we sold cost one dollar.

Prabhupāda: What is that? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Just a piece of burfī...

Prabhupāda: Burfī? Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Yeah, they were charging one dollar for one square.
